Our View..

The Stiga Tornado 398m is worth considering if you have lawns up to 6,000m2 in size and include paddocks or orchards. It has the same engine and transmission as the Mountfield 1530M. It features a 98 cm cutting width but no grass collection box. Instead, shred grass clippings or side-eject longer, coarser grasses while mowing formal lawns. This can save the time needed to trim big areas by up to 30%. There are seven different cut heights to select from, ranging from 25mm for more formal lawns to 80mm for uneven or damp grass. The cutting quality is excellent, and the dual blades efficiently shred the grass cuttings. Stiga ride-on mowers.
