The Stiga Tornado 5108 W is a heavy‑duty ride‑on lawn tractor engineered for owners of expansive lawns, estate‑style gardens or demanding outdoor turf areas who want high performance, comfort and durability. This 2025 model brings together a robust engine, a wide cutting deck, smooth hydrostatic drive and thoughtful operator comforts to deliver a premium mowing experience.
Under the hood it features a twin‑cylinder 586 cc engine (Stiga ST550 Twin) delivering approximately 10.8 kW (≈14.5‑15 hp) of power at 2,800 rpm. This gives the machine the muscle to work across large areas, cope with heavier grass or rough turf and maintain consistent performance. The V‑twin design helps reduce vibration and ensures smoother operation over extended mowing sessions.
The cutting deck is 108 cm (42 inches) wide — substantially wider than many domestic tractors — enabling you to cover more ground in fewer passes. The deck uses two blades, and is designed for side discharge of cuttings (with option for mulching) so it accommodates both overgrown turf and regular maintenance mowing. The cutting height is adjustable through seven positions, ranging from 25 mm to 80 mm, giving you flexibility from a short, manicured lawn finish to a slightly longer, thicker turf.
The drive system features a hydrostatic transmission operated by foot pedal, offering stepless control of forward and reverse speed. Rear‑wheel drive and large 20‑inch rear tyres provide strong traction, helping the tractor move smoothly over uneven ground, gentle slopes or complex garden layouts. The minimum turning radius is around 65 cm, making it surprisingly nimble for its size, especially around flowerbeds, trees or garden obstacles.
Operator comfort and convenience are well catered for: a “Stiga Classic” comfort seat, ergonomically designed steering wheel, LED headlights for low‑light mowing, anti‑scalp wheels under the deck to protect turf, and a sturdy front bumper for machine protection. The machine is built with a robust front axle and heavier construction for durability under prolonged or heavy‑use conditions.
For users needing to handle very large lawns (6,000 m² or more) or rougher ground, this machine is an excellent fit. It balances wide coverage, serious engine power and comfort so that long mowing sessions become less of a chore and more a reliably efficient task. Maintenance has been made easier through good deck access, hydrostatic simplicity (no gear‑shifting), and quality build materials designed for heavy‑duty use.
In short: if you’re seeking a ride‑on tractor that can handle large areas, rougher turf, occasional overgrown patches and long mowing sessions — and you want comfort, durability and high performance — the Tornado 5108 W is designed to deliver.
