Clear substantial areas of overgrown grass, nettles, weeds and bramble with impressive speed and efficiency when you get your hands on this aggressive scythe-mower from Swedish landscaping-experts Stiga!

At its core is a high-capacity 190cc Briggs & Stratton 625-Series engine that develops a hefty 5.1hp; and which combines effective Splash Lubrication with a quality paper air-filter and an aluminium cylinder-sleeve for rock-solid long-term reliability.

A float-feed carburettor delivers improved startability and helps to maintain peak performance; while a performance-muffler dampens sound-output for a less stressful working-environment.

The Stiga Silex 87B Scythe Mower boasts an extra-wide 87cm blade-set with a generous 33mm tooth-spacing that ensures even large-diameter brush and scrub won’t stand a chance.

It runs on deep-tread tyres that provide all the traction you’ll need when the going gets tough; and it benefits from an adjustable cutting-height (20-50mm) that makes it possible to adapt to the conditions facing you on any given day.

The handlebar on this model contains all the key controls and can be height-adjusted to suit the operator.
