Making the STIGA Park Pro 740 IOX stand out from any conventional front mower is its 50:50 articulated steering system and forward positioned cutter-deck; a combination that firstly optimizes maneuverability by eliminating any chance of the rear of the machine being damaged by accidental impact; and secondly provides a clear, unhindered view of the cutting-path, which in turn means complex borders can be followed with precision. The front-cut design also provides access to awkward corners that would be impossible to reach with a mid-deck machine. The most powerful machine in the range, the Park Pro 740 IOX comes equipped with a high-capacity 688 cc Honda GXV690 two-cylinder engine that produces an impressive 16.5 kW (@ 3600rpm); and which, thanks to its V-Twin arrangement and OHV technology, offers smooth, low-vibration performance with maximum torque-output, reduced emissions and superior fuel economy. Built to last, the engine benefits from a dual element air-filter and forced lubrication. The Park Pro 740 IOX has been engineered with careful attention paid to ergonomics and ease of use - there’s an electromagnetic PTO clutch for easy blade or accessory engagement; an ergonomic high-back seat with armrests - for the comfortable completion of time-consuming tasks; and straightforward electric push-button selection from the 10 preset cutting-heights available. You’ll also enjoy almost effortless power-assisted steering. A hydrostatic drive - operated using a foot pedal - contributes further to maneuverability by enabling smooth acceleration and deceleration with no manual gear changes; while 4WD capability means slopes, rough ground and muddy areas can be negotiated without problem. This two-in-one machine offers both mulching and rear-discharge as standard, so you’ll be able to select the mode that’s most suitable for the grass conditions you’re dealing with. It features a user-friendly side panel that places all the key controls within easy reach; and it employs STIGA’s convenient Quickflip deck system, which makes raising the deck for cleaning - or removing it for attachment fitting - quick and simple (deck widths range from 110 to 125 cm). Tow-hitch included in the package.
