Stiga Park Pro 740 IOX Ride-On Lawnmower (Excluding Deck)

Stiga Park Pro 740 IOX Ride-On Lawnmower (Excluding Deck) £7724.00
Bristling with premium features and designed and built in Europe to the most exacting standards, the truly impressive Stiga Park Pro 740 IOX will breeze its way through intensive commercial landscaping applications. The most powerful model in the Park Pro range, it’s driven by a very high-performance 14kW Briggs & Stratton 8270-Series twin-cylinder engine that employs the classic V-Twin layout so as to keep vibration, noise and wear at manageable levels. A high compression-ratio delivers maximum power without the need to use premium fuel; while a forged-steel crankshaft and a dual element air-filter combine to ensure you’ll get season after season of unfailing reliability.The rear-discharge and mulch-capable deck on the Stiga Park Pro 740 IOX Ride-On Lawnmower is situated forward of the machine so as to give a clear, unimpeded view of the cutting-path; and to allow you to mow under bushes and low-hanging branches. A number of Combi decks are offered, ranging in width from 95 to 125cm (you can choose between manual or electric height-of-cut control). As if it weren’t innovative enough, the Stiga Park Pro 740 IOX also features an articulated chassis, which firstly minimises the turning-circle for hassle-free obstacle negotiation; and secondly means you can concentrate on what’s happening in front of you because the rear-wheels follow exactly the same line as the front-wheels.The Stiga Park Pro 740 IOX has been equipped with a four-wheel-drive transmission that makes it possible to operate effectively on rough terrain and muddy inclines. The drive is infinitely-variable for intuitive manoeuvrability; and there’s a split differential that works to prevent turf-damage when turning on formal lawns. Driver-comfort is key when undertaking pro-scale jobs, so Stiga have furnished the Park Pro 740 IOX with a suspension-mounted high-back seat; an electric PTO clutch; and hydro-piston-assisted steering (cruise-control can be specified).A powerful low-energy LED headlight means poor light won’t cause you to stop work; while a hugely capacious fuel-tank ensures very little time will be lost breaking-off for refuelling.We offer a White Gloves delivery service with this product and will give a product demonstration upon hand over.

Snapper E3317523KVE Ride-On Mower

Snapper E3317523KVE Ride-On Mower £2349.00
The Snapper E3317523KVE has one of the largest cutting-widths of any domestic rear-engine ride-on (84cm), but retains the nimble manoeuvrability of its smaller counterparts. This combination makes it perfect for substantial lawns with trees; shrubs; beds; and garden furniture to mow around. With its 500cc Briggs & Stratton Intek Series 4175 overhead-valve engine, the Snapper E3317523KVE Ride-On Mower develops the sort of torque that’s essential when dealing with heavy grass-conditions. Full-pressure lubrication works to maximise engine-life; while a large-capacity 6.5-litre fuel-tank ensures plenty can be achieved between each top-up stop. Snapper have equipped the engine with an electric key ignition, so starting is fast and hassle-free. This feature-packed machine has a six-speed ‘shift-on-the-go’ gearbox, so it’s far less clucky in operation than lower-spec manual-drive machines where you have to stop to alter the ground-speed. Quick-response steering provides a more intuitive driving experience; while a split differential transmission helps to guard against turf-damage caused by wheel-spins. The gearing is encased in an oil-bath for reduced wear and therefore a longer working-life. Capable of bagging; side-discharging; or mulching (optional) grass-cuttings, the Snapper E3317523KVE has a mowing-mode for every eventuality. It has a luxury mid-back seat with ergonomic contouring for a comfortable drive; and it’s fitted with a set of anti-scalp deck-wheels that prevent turf-gouging on undulating ground. You can stand the Snapper E3317523KVE on its end for easier cleaning and more compact storage.
