STIGA TORNADO 5108 Petrol Lawn Tractor

STIGA Tornado 5108: A Petrol Lawn Tractor That Goes the Distance

Power, precision, and practicality come together in the STIGA Tornado 5108, a robust petrol lawn tractor built for large-scale mowing. Whether you’re maintaining an extensive lawn, smallholding, or paddock, it delivers outstanding results on areas up to 6,000 m² (1.5 acres). With a powerful engine, superior build quality, and exceptional cutting capability, this garden tractor makes the toughest mowing tasks smooth and straightforward.

Engineered for High Performance

At the heart of the Tornado 5108 lies a 452 cc STIGA ST 500 single-cylinder engine, expertly engineered to balance high performance with fuel efficiency. Safely encased in a steel cylinder sleeve, it produces an impressive 8.4 kW at 2,800 rpm (11.3 hp), giving you the torque and consistency to manage everything from soft lawns to rough, uneven grass. Its overhead valve (OHV) design keeps fuel consumption low while reducing emissions, ensuring cleaner operation without compromising on power.

The engine draws from a generous 6-litre fuel tank, allowing you to mow large areas in a single session without constant refuelling. Meanwhile, hydrostatic drive provides a seamless, variable speed experience, letting you adjust momentum effortlessly without the need for manual gear changes. With a sound pressure level of just 87 dB(A) at the driver’s ear, this ride on mower also runs remarkably quietly for its class.

Precision Cutting for Every Surface

The Tornado 5108 is designed with a 108 cm (43-inch) cutting deck, purpose-built to handle extensive areas of grass quickly and efficiently. The electromagnetic clutch engages the twin blades instantly, producing a clean and even cut every time. You can choose from seven adjustable cutting heights, ranging between 25 mm and 80 mm, giving you the flexibility to adapt to seasonal changes or varying grass lengths.

Grass clippings are ejected through a side-discharge system, ideal for tackling longer or denser growth. For those who prefer a neater finish, the STIGA Multiclip mulching system comes as standard. This feature finely shreds grass and redistributes it across the lawn, acting as a nutrient-rich mulch that improves soil health and moisture retention over time.

Built for Comfort and Control

The Tornado 5108 ensures every mowing session feels comfortable and controlled. The STIGA New Comfort seat, fitted with a safety contact breaker, supports long working hours without strain. Alongside it, the ergonomically designed steering wheel allows for precise handling, even when navigating uneven or sloped ground.

Vibration levels are kept low—just 1.2 m/s² at the driver’s seat. This makes for a smoother, more enjoyable ride while reducing operator fatigue during extended mowing sessions. The reverse mowing function adds another layer of convenience, enabling you to trim awkward corners or back out of tight spaces with ease.

Heavy-Duty Design, More Practical Features

Every element of the Tornado 5108 lawn tractor has been designed for strength and reliability. The steel front axle absorbs the rigours of daily use, while the 18-inch rear wheels and anti-scalp traction tyres deliver consistent grip and protect your lawn from damage. When daylight fades, the bright LED headlights illuminate your working area, ensuring safety and visibility in lower light conditions.

This tractor mower’s thoughtful design extends beyond performance. A front bumper provides extra protection, while the onboard storage compartment and cup holder enhance user experience during longer sessions. Maintenance is straightforward – the washing link allows you to attach a hose directly to the deck, making cleaning quick and efficient. A trailer hitch kit and battery charger are also included as standard, increasing the tractor’s versatility around your property.

At 1,726 mm (L) x 1,315 mm (W) x 1,100 mm (H), and weighing 168 kg, this lawn tractor strikes an excellent balance between size, stability, and manoeuvrability – ideal for users who need serious cutting power without excessive bulk.
