The STIGA Combi 166 (Model 2025) is a compact yet fully‑featured ride‑on lawn tractor designed to make mowing efficient, comfortable and flexible for medium‑sized garden areas. It’s engineered for homeowners and landscaped properties where manoeuvrability, functional versatility, and quality finish matter.
At the heart of the Combi 166 is a single‑cylinder 224 cm³ petrol engine (STIGA ST 250 ES) delivering approximately 3.6 kW of power. This combination of a compact engine with a hydrostatic drive system enables the tractor to provide smooth, variable speed operation via a foot pedal—no manual gear shifting required. The design ensures ease of use and confidence as you navigate around garden features, obstacles and tighter passages.
The cutting deck on this model spans 66 cm in width, allowing efficient coverage for lawns up to about 1,500 m². The deck supports a 3‑in‑1 cutting system: you can collect grass into a generous 150‑litre collector, discharge clippings to the side via deflector, or mulch them back into the lawn via included mulching plug. The cutting height is adjustable manually across six (or depending on region, six to seven) positions from approximately 30 mm to 76 mm—so you can tailor the finish of your lawn to the season, grass type or aesthetic preference.
The Combi 166 stands out for its manoeuvrability: with a minimum turning radius of about 77.5 cm it’s able to navigate around beds, trees and narrow driveways with ease. Its compact overall dimensions (length approx 1,825 mm, width approx 722 mm, height approx 1,047 mm) help ensure it fits through standard gates and doesn’t dominate storage space. Operator comfort has been considered with a key‑start ignition, an ergonomic steering wheel, a comfort‑style seat, a step‑through frame for easy mounting and dismounting, and a washing link for deck cleaning.
Maintenance and reliability are supported through STIGA’s build: the hydrostatic transmission reduces mechanical wear from shifting, the engine is purpose‑designed for garden use, and the cutting system components are built to deliver consistent results. In practical terms, the Combi 166 is well suited for homeowners who require a ride‑on mower for moderate area lawns, want flexibility in how clippings are handled (collect, mulch or side‑discharge), and appreciate a machine that handles both neat mowing and garden complexity.
In summary, if you have a lawn in the 1,000‑1,500 m² range, obstacles or narrow access, and you want a high‑quality ride‑on mower for 2025 that combines versatility, manoeuvrability, and comfort — the STIGA Combi 166 is a strong choice.
