The stiga estate 2398 hw is a collection and mulching garden tractor. When not being used to collect the grass simply switch to mulching by fitting the included mulch plug. When fitted the mulching plug will cut and re cut the grass into a very fine mulch which gets blown down onto the ground. This is great in drier conditions when this mulch provides extra nutrients and moisture to the grass roots. The pedal operated hydrostatic transmission works like an automatic car with no gears to select. You can just press down then concentrate on your mowing. Comfort comes from the classic stiga seat and ergonomic steering wheel with soft grip. The controls are all within easy reach of the driving seat and the dashboard has an led display of useful information. The 2 blade cutting deck has a 98cm cutting width and 2 anti scalp wheels which help the deck to move smoothly over the ground. The deck height can be adjusted through 7 settings from 25 – 80mm with a central lever. specificationsengine stiga st 550 v twin         engine spec 586 cm³, 10.4 kw , 2800 rpmfuel tank capacity 6 litre              battery voltage 12 v, 18 ah        transmission hydrostatic, lever operated                 traction rear wheel drivecutting width 98cm 38.5”cutting height adjustment 7 using manual levercutting height 25 80 mm          blade engagement electricnumber of blades 2       grass collector 240 litre, lever to empty               steering wheel soft grip ergonomic         seat stiga classic design with safety contact breakerwheels antiscalp f 15x5.00 6, r 18x8.50 8mulch plug yestow bar optional extragrass deflector option extrabumper yes       headlights ledled dash display yesfront bumper yes     wash link yes          warranty manufacturer's 3 year terms and conditions apply including annual service
