Keep it short!
It is easier than you may think to help nature on its way. Let us reveal a few secrets! If you love gardening
but lack time, using Stiga’s unique mulching technology means a minimum of effort, nurturing the grass
and retaining water along the way so as to lessen the need for articial fertilizers and excessive watering.
Good for the body, environment, and wallet alike!
Beyond that, the innovative year 2008 brings a number of new features and products from the Stiga
brand. For the environmentally concerned, our new, genuine Stiga engine running on ethanol is a giant
leap forward. The enhanced front-mounted cutting deck, tailored to fit the entire Front mower range,
wins applause from professional and amateur gardeners alike. Also worth attention is the new urban
lawn mower, Primo, a ride-on with a distinct attitude, fit for a design-conscious market.
In other words, things are just as you would expect. Stiga keeps taking responsibility for
making your front garden the pride of the neighbourhood. Enjoy the 76-page ride!
To achieve a dense, even green carpet, cut the top 1/3 of the grass each time you mow. Just as pinching a garden plant improes its appearance,
the grass blades grow strong, healthy and dense.

NEW!
Stiga innovations lead the way.
Innovation is one of Stiga’s characteristics. The thought that drives us is that you and your surroundings should
get the most out of your garden. Therefore, we combine innovative technology and excellent power with minimal
impact on the individual and the environment. The primary aim is to make everything in the garden easier. In the
long-term it is about leaving the earth in good condition.
THE YEAR’S BIGGEST LITTLE NEWS! Nowadays people value
comfort and want to stay “on top of things”. The year’s biggest little
news, Primo, is a ride-on lawn mower with attitude, developed for the
design-conscious urban market.
FIRST WITH ARTICULATED STEERING. Our genuine
articulated steering, which means that the rear wheels follow
precisely in the front wheel tracks, has still not yet been success-
fully copied.
FIRST WITH MULTICLIP. The Multiclip
technology that we developed in the 1980s was
a world first that saved both human energy and
fossil fuels. Today, the method, which means
that you cut and fertilize in one process (and even
retain water at the grass roots), is a natural part
of the cycle.
FIRST WITH 4WD ON RIDE-
ON LAWN MOWERS. Four-wheel
drive on a ride-on lawn mower was
a world first when it was introduced
in 2005!

5
NOW ETHANOL POWERED. Here is the follow-
up, the big environmental news of the year: The Stiga
engine that runs on ethanol!
OUR OWN ENGINE ESPECIALLY DEVELOPED FOR
GRASS. Easier to start, better fuel consumption, longer service
life and maintains speed when cutting long grass. That is what the
wish list looked like, which led us to develop our own engine, made
especially for lawn mowers.. In the first year, we sold nearly one
million of them.
FIRST WITH A FRONT-MOUNTED DECK. Being able to see
what you are doing and cutting along fences, around bushes and up to
house walls makes gardening work liberatingly simple. Now we have
launched the Combi deck, which takes the technology a step further
and enables you to choose between Multiclip and rear discharge.
NEW!
CLEANER AIR AND UP TO 30% SAVINGS ON FUEL WITH STRATO
CLEAN. Thanks to Strato Clean Technology, our new generation chain saws
burn fuel much more efficiently than conventional engines. The patented
method, which involves the admission of fresh air during combusion, also
increases the service life and performance of the engine.

Choose the right rider!
Flat or hilly terrain? Large open areas or areas with plants or trees? Lots of, or little energy for gardening? Many
factors other than plot size affect your decision when you choose a ride-on lawn mower. Let us help make your
choice easier.
Hilly terrain?
Choose a ride-on mower with four-wheel drive and you will neither slip nor leave
tracks. You can drive, stop and start again on wet grass without losing control or
damaging the grass. The more powerful the engine the better!
Large areas?
The wider the cutting width, the faster cutting will go. The tractors range from
63 to 122 cm. The Combi deck for Villa and Park is available from 85 to 105 cm.
The professional cutting deck for Park has three blades and a cutting width from
110 to 125 cm.
Are there many obstacles?
Choose a front-mounted cutting deck so that you can see where you are cutting
and cut close to rockeries and under bushes. Villa or Park for larger areas, Primo
for smaller areas.
Short of time?
The new Combi deck supplied with Villa and Park means that you can choose
between Multiclip and rear discharge. Multiclip means that you can mow and fer-
tilize at the same time. The grass cuttings are returned to the lawn as nourishment.
The work is faster, quieter and requires less fuel.

Stay on top!
Front mower or garden tractor? It is a question of manoeuvrability. In open spaces
a tractor is an excellent choice. If there are lots of trees and bushes it is easier with
a front-mounted cutting deck. You can see the difference.
Front mowers
MANOEUVRABILITY. The articulated steering means that
the rear wheels follow exactly in the front wheel tracks. You
have full control and can easily navigate around bushes and
trees without running into them.
LESS WORK AFTERWARDS. Because the cutting deck
is at the front, nothing is missed. You avoid having to trim
afterwards.
TWO-IN-ONE. The new Combi cutting deck combines two
cutting technologies: The Multiclip mows and fertilizes at the
same time. If the grass gets too long you can change to rear
discharge.
ALL-TERRAIN. The four-wheel drive which is fitted to sev-
eral lawn mowers means that you get good grip and can stop
and start on a slope without the wheels spinning and damaging
the lawn. Recommended in hilly terrain.
VERSATILITY. Park and Villa are year-round machines with
large implement ranges (see pages 22–27). From brush units
and trailers to snow blades and snow blowers.
Tractors
CAPACITY. A lot of engine and cutting capacity for the money,
particularly effective on open spaces. Garden is recommended for
up to 1000 m2. For larger areas, Estate is better.
COMPACT. If the choice is between a walk-behind and a ride-on
lawn mower, then Garden Compact is an excellent alternative.
Thanks to the compact format, it can operate in tight spaces and
requires minimal storage area.
COLLECTION AND MULTICLIP. Both cutting technologies
are included on Estate as standard. If the grass gets too long between
cuts, add a deflector and run with rear discharge.
NOW EVEN SMOOTHER. With straighter chutes and an even
more spacious collector, you can suck up every last blade of grass.
You can empty the collector from the seat. Certain models have an
electric lift, so it is enough just to press the button.
LONG SEASON. The implement range (see pages 22 and 31)
means that Estate tractors can also earn their keep as leaf and snow
clearers and also as implement carriers – depending on the season.

Rider of the year!
Primo represents a new generation of compact Front mowers from Stiga aimed at design-conscious
homeowners. Featuring rear-wheel steering and easy-to-use single hand controls, it reduces the time and
effort spent in the garden.
The idea was to create a vehicle, which is manoeuvred and mows as well as the big Front mowers, and
which you can be proud to park on your driveway. Material and construction, comfort and convenience,
road grip and performance – the thinking is the same as in a modern car. Primo is the name, since it is
one of a kind.
PRIMO
Primo is built on a self-supporting frame in the
same material as the hardtop in cabriolets and
cast in a single piece, which imparts strength to
the construction. Integrated design is the key
word. Excellent maneouvrability and high cutting
capacity come with the factory-mounted 78 cm
Combi cutting deck. Stiga 12.5 hp engine.

Efficiency defined.
Front-mounted cutting deck and genuine articulated steering are signatures of the Park range, and the four-
wheel drive – now available on all models – is an extra impressive feature. If you need more reasons to choose
Park, we suggest that you take a closer look at the cutting width, engine power, instrument panel and con-
trols. Everything, including the cutting height setting on the top models, is controlled from the driver’s seat,
with a lever or by pushing a button. Diesel or petrol power is a matter of taste, manual or stepless hydrostatic
gearbox a question of comfort. In addition, there is a vast range of implements (see page 23), which means
that you can use it all year round. To plough, sand, sweep, collect leaves... you name it!

So easy to manoeuvre.
It almost drives itself.
Articulated steering is the secret. You sit above the pivot point and look ahead over the cutting deck. It is easy to turn and easy to
navigate around bushes, trees and fences, because the back wheels follow the track of those at the front. It is an incredible feeling,
almost as if it drives itself. Test drive and experience the feeling of freedom! Combined with 4WD you can stop and go almost
anyhwere without slipping, including slippery slopes and snow-covered driveways.

Two cutting techniques in one.
Stiga has developed a range of high-performance cutting decks, which let you choose between Multiclip and rear
discharge. The Multiclip system recycles grass clippings, and the grass becomes fertilizer for your lawn. Rear dis-
charge deposits the grass behind the machine, a method which is suitable when the grass is long.
To get the perfect cutting result, it is necessary to adjust the cutting height in small steps. These decks have
continuous electric cutting height adjustment or manual adjustment in 6 mm steps.
WASHING TIPS
Lawn mowers rarely fail due to use or age. If you suddenly notice that
the functions of your mower have deteriorated, poor maintenance
and corrosion are much more often the explanation. In order to
reduce the risk of such problems arising, our mowers with front decks
are designed in a way that makes the machines very easy to service
and wash.
