The stiga estate 3398 hw is a collection and mulching garden tractor with a 98cm cutting width powered by a v twin honda engine. When not collecting 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. Additional strength and durability has been included by adding a cast iron front axle. Comfort comes from the classic stiga seat 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 – 80 mm with a central lever. specificationsengine honda gcv 530 v twin        engine spec 530cm³, 16 hp 11.9 kw at 3,600 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  bag full alarm yes            steering wheel soft grip ergonomic        seat stiga classic design with safety contact breakerwheels antiscalp f 15x5.00 6, r 18x8.50 8mulch plug yestowing hitch yesgrass 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
