Stiga Tornado 3108 H Multiclip Lawn-Tractor (Ex Demo – 1 Hours Use) £1899.00
Offering both side-discharge and mulching as standard, the premium-grade Stiga Tornado 3108 H performs just as well on paddocks and informal long-grass areas as it does on well-groomed, bowling-green style lawns.Under its corrosion-resistant and noise-limiting bonnet is a very high-powered 17.5hp (500cc) Briggs & Stratton 4185 Powerbuilt engine with a Dual-Clean™ air-filter that confers a marked lengthening in service-life; and an anti-vibration system for a reduction in component-wear; and a comfortable, fatigue-free drive. An overhead-valve-type configuration leads to a reduction in fuel-costs and damaging exhaust emissions; while an electric key ignition makes what can otherwise be a frustrating operation a breeze.The Stiga Tornado 3108 H Multiclip Lawn-Tractor has been equipped with an intuitive foot-pedal controlled hydrostatic drive – the more force you apply to the pedal, the faster you’ll go. This sought-after feature works with a tight 140cm turning-radius to ensure you’ll find it easy to deal with obstacles and awkward corners.Not just a mower, the Stiga Tornado 3108 H is supplied with a tow-bar that makes it possible to hitch-up any of the numerous versatility-enhancing attachments that are available; in turn ensuring you’ll get plenty of use from your purchase outside of the growing season.The cutter-deck on this model measures a huge 108cm in width, so the rapid coverage of expansive areas is assured.A hosepipe fitting on the deck means keeping the undercarriage clean is a hassle-free process; while powerful dual headlights make low-light mowing and towing possible. Other stand-out features include a seven-position cutting-height, which you can set between 25 and 80mm depending on your preferred finish; and wide-profile drive-tyres that provide all the traction you’ll need, and which won’t gouge delicate surfaces during turns.
