New Mower sub £700

[TimberCutterDartmoor]

You are totally wrong TCD, that particular Stiga is a very good mower.

 

Since when has that deck, engine, wheels and catcher been "good"?! It is glorified domestic junk. Fair enough for £300 but just south of a grand for that old chestnut with a few mickey mouse extras is preposterous.

You obviously have no experience of that machine TCD:biggrin:

No indeed I don't but that deck has been around for ages and some of the parts are non-pro parts imo.

The Stiga is at the lower end of the Pro market, which is reflected in the RRP of £899 against the £1116 RRP price tag of the Kaaz for instance. (I sell both)

 

But the Stiga is worth every penny. The Aluminiun deck has indeed been around for ages, but its so good that many of the first ones are still around. Being made of a maleable aluminium it resists the cracks that many ally decks suffer from.

The solid aluminium wheels are supported by proper, precision ball bearings, and the engine is mounted on AV mounts.

For 2014 the Stiga will be fitted with a Briggs 850 series engine, which will IMO be an improvement over the Honda GCV 190 unit.

Have a look at Viking, they do roller and mulcher versions with large strong grass boxes

All our mowers are honda, Can't go wrong with them, they took a good beat in during the summer months and are still going strong!
