Hi all. I was considering buying my first ‘ride on mower' with a
limited budget to do so. The Stiga range seems to be good value for
money. I am only mowing a ‘largish' residential ‘corner block' which
has very wide ‘grassed footpaths.' I am considering buying the Stiga
Garden Compact, mainly because it is well priced. Does anybody have
any experience with this Stiga model that they could share with me
please.

I've just traded in my 16 hp (102 cm wide) STIGA for a Kubota tractor, but
not because I was really unhappy with the little yellow fellow. I have a lot
of slopes and needed 4 wd and something more powerful.
I had two serious problems with the STIGA, both of which were sorted fine by
the agent. I formed the view it was pretty robust, it cut the grass well,
but there were small design faults (like the plastic cover under the
"bonnet" which covers up the electronics and which fell off; the petrol cap
was lost; the fuel filter is rather crude) The most serious problem was that
the alternator lost its lead internally (must have been a factory fault).
All in all I was reasonably happy with what I saw as a slightly crude
machine.
