Stiga Park 500 WX 4WD with Combi 100 Q Plus Deck

Description

The Stiga Park 500 WX ride on lawnmower features the unique articulated steering system that Stiga introduced in 1974 and has remained virtually unchanged since. The beauty of the system is that the rear wheels track exactly on the path of the front wheels, so that whichever way you turn the rear will never swing wide and hit obstacles or drop off the edge of the lawn.

The operator has total vision of the deck and this feature used in conjunction with the articulated steering enable the operator to place the deck wherever he wants it with complete accuracy. Cutting right into corners and even under overhanging shrubs is easily achieved, and the edge of the lawn can be followed with total accuracy. The Stiga Park 500 WX has a full hydraulic servo steering system which even slightly built operators may find very eay to steer, even in confined areas with lots of slow turning.

The Stiga Parks all feature electrical height of cut adjustment which can be carried out via a switch on the console.

The 95cm 2 bladed Combi deck, as well as the three bladed Combi 100 Q Plus deck are suited to this mower, and with either of these decks the 500 WX is suited to areas up to 1.5acres.

Its all very well having this degree of steering accuracy and deck vision, but it would still be possible to bump into things in front and behind if the operator has insufficient control over his forward and reverse speed and stopping ability. So the Stiga Park 500 WX lawn tractor features a hydrostatic transmission controlled by an ergonomically designed rocking foot pedal. Simple push the balanced pedal forwards to move forward, the further you push it the faster the machine goes, right up to its maximum forward speed of 10km/hr.

Then, simply easing the foot pressure slows the machine down, and removing your foot altogether will bring you gently to a standstill. Shifting your foot pressure to the rear of the pedal will enable you to reverse. There is absolutely no need to use the clutch and brake pedal whilst driving your Stiga Park. The 500 WX has 4WD for superb traction

Of course, every ride on mower needs an engine, and Stiga have not stinted there either, fitting the Park 500 WX with a Stiga ST550 Twin engine providing 11.9kw of power.

This example is priced with a Combi 100 Q Plus, but it is also available with the 95 Combi EL deck. See the related products below for the deck options.
