STIGA Gyro – changing the game in mowing experience.

Gyro is powered by STIGA eMotion Technology, a unique electronic system developed to effortlessly govern direction, steering and speed.  The mower offers an extremely precise joystick, mounted on the armrest, which controls the vehicle, allowing it to turn on a sixpence…guaranteeing an enjoyable ride and taking lawn mowing to a whole new level.

STIGA cutting excellence – agility, control, and precision, meet safety and comfort

The precision control and 360° turning radius facilitates mowing particularly close to the edges along bushes or lawns while simultaneously ensuring the best-possible visibility over the broader mowing area.

Gyro offers the option to select variable speeds for both mowing and driving modes. With three blade speeds to choose from, the user can adapt the mowing performance to the desired conditions and conveniently adjust the mowing deck directly from the driver’s seat.

The robust chassis and sophisticated design provide Gyro excellent stability and balance, even when operating on slopes or uneven surfaces, resulting in a safe and comfortable ride. Designed with the needs of even the most discerning users in mind, Gyro offers maximum operating and driving comfort, ergonomic design, safety and proven, convincing efficiency.

The synergy between ePower, eMotion and STIGA Direct Drive motors creates a unique combination of proven technologies and compelling innovations to take lawn mowing to a whole new level. Each rear wheel is driven by a self-contained electric motor, for easier handling and greater driving precision.

“This is what lawnmowers will be like in the future and is available now.  Gyro establishes a completely new category of battery-powered sit-on mowers for challenging areas, unbeatable productivity that are not just fun but comfortable to drive too” says Gary Whitney, managing director of STIGA UK.

STIGA Gyro 500e and 700e are available now from STIGA dealerships with retail prices starting from £7,511

Keeping it genuine keeps costs down

/in , /by

Keeping it genuine keeps costs down: Since Toro started filling its machines with its new PX Extended Life Hydraulic Fluid, customers have been enjoying a reduction in downtime, increased time between services and an improvement in the total cost of ownership of their machines.

To provide customers with value added improvements, Toro changed its standard fill hydraulic fluid to an extended life hydraulic fluid called Toro PX Extended Life Hydraulic Fluid.

Since 2019 every machine out of production has been factory-filled with this new PX fluid, and customers and distributor Reesink Turfcare have noticed that by sticking with this genuine hydraulic fluid brings big benefits.

Michael Hampton, purchasing and sales process manager at Reesink Turfcare, says: “Just as buying genuine applies to all Toro parts so does it ring true when it comes to hydraulic fluid. By sticking with Toro PX Extended Life Hydraulic Fluid customers are guaranteeing a reduction in servicing intervals for hydraulic fluid and filters to up to 2,000 hours compared to using the standard Hydraulic Fluid which requires a change every 800 hours.”

Sticking with the new PX fluid allows for increased hydraulic fluid and filter change intervals, eliminates the initial low hour hydraulic fluid change, allows for common change intervals across product offerings reducing confusion during maintenance servicing, as well as reducing the overall cost of ownership.

Michael continues: “Hydraulic fluid is an essential part to the machine. Its main function is to provide energy transmission through the system, which enables motion. Hydraulic fluids are also responsible for lubrication, heat transfer and contamination control. So, when it comes to quality control and safeguarding the performance of the machine, sticking to genuine hydraulic fluid surely rates highly.”

Toro PX Extended Life Hydraulic Fluid is suitable for all Toro machines apart from the GP1260, Groundsmaster 7210, Groundsmaster 360 and Outcross. It is available through Reesink Turfcare online at via reesinkturfcare.co.uk, by phone on 01480 226800 or by email at info@reesinkturfcare.co.uk.
