Stiga Tornado 398 Garden Tractor

Stiga Tornado 398 Side-Discharge Lawn Tractor

The Stiga Tornado 398 lawn tractor from Stiga and offers the perfect solution for those who do not wish to collect grass clippings.

The STIGA Tornado 398 ride-on mower can be used with the side discharge function or the mulching system with the optional mulching kit. The mower is powered by a single-cylinder STIGA engine, 98 cm cutting deck with two synchronised blades, anti-scalp wheels, seven cutting height settings ranging from 25 to 80 mm and an electromagnetic blade engagement clutch. The Tornado 398 features a soft-grip steering wheel and comfortable seat. 

The Tornado 398 is a sturdy compact tractor with a 98cm deck, which offers the perfect solution for those who do not wish to collect grass clippings. In tall growth conditions the side discharge mode neatly cuts and spreads the grass so it can be left to wilt naturally. For areas that are being mown on a more regular basis the mulching function cuts and re-cuts the grass into small particles that disappear into the turf, returning valuable nutrients to the soil.

Mulching is a great feature. It saves so much time and cutting the lawn can be more than 30% quicker as there is no need to stop to empty clippings, which also results in a significant fuel saving. You may well ask “Will I see the mulched grass?” and the answer is “No!” Mulched clippings are blown down into the turf and are not noticeable, provided the grass is cut regularly and not on the lowest setting.
