Special 384 M - Lawn Tractor - Collection Basket - Mechanical Transmission

The petrol lawn tractor Special 384 M is an excellent choice for those looking for a compact yet powerful machine, capable of handling large green areas with ease.

Powered by the STIGA ST350 352 cc engine, it offers remarkable power, suitable for extensive terrains up to 3000 sqm.

The cutting width of 84 cm allows covering large areas without compromising manoeuvrability, thanks to its compact size. The compact design of the tractor not only facilitates its use but also ensures excellent visibility, allowing for precise work.

The manual transmission with 5 forward gears and 1 reverse allows optimal speed control in any condition, while the 200-litre collection basket allows for long periods of work without frequent emptying.

The 7 cutting heights (from 25 to 80 mm) offer versatility in lawn care operations, allowing adaptation to different soil and grass type needs. Additionally, the possibility of adding an optional mulching kit (not included as standard) allows for shredding the cut grass and distributing it as natural fertilizer, improving lawn health.

With the Special 384 M tractor, every gardening operation becomes faster and less tiring, without compromising the quality of the final result. Its reduced size does not sacrifice power and efficiency, making it a perfect solution for those who want to combine performance and practicality.

Main features:

• STIGA ST350 352 cc engine: ensures power and reliability for intensive work.

• Cutting width of 84 cm: ideal for large surfaces.

• 5 forward gears and 1 reverse: manual transmission for complete control.

• 200-litre collection basket: reduces the need to stop during work.

• Optional mulching kit: allows recycling grass as natural fertilizer.

The Special 384 M tractor is an ideal choice for those looking for a reliable and versatile tool that combines power, comfort, and practicality for garden care.

The Special 384 M tractor offers two different cutting systems:

1- COLLECTION IN THE BASKET (standard): the most traditional, the tractor cuts leaving the grass on the lawn. Recommended system for: large extensions for those who do not need to collect for those who do not cut frequently and find themselves having to cut excessively grown grass, for which the collection or mulching system is no longer effective.

Spacious collection basket with a capacity of 200 litres.

The bag is removable in an instant: just lift it upwards to remove it from its "bridge" housing.

2- MULCHING (not included as standard): a cutting system that shreds the cut grass leaving it on the lawn, pulverizing it to the point that it will almost seem like it has been collected. This eliminates the problem of its disposal (reducing effort and drastically shortening the time spent cutting) and also, as it decomposes, it will later transform into a nutrient for the lawn itself and into water (grass is made up of 80% water) thus ensuring a perfectly balanced biological cycle. However, it is useful to remember that, to ensure the absolute efficiency of the system, the lawn must still be watered, and the grass cut very often. Conversion from one system to another is very easy.

Conversion: remove the collection bag and insert the mulching plug into the central tunnel.

The engine mounted on this lawn tractor is an ST 350 Powered by Stiga.

Features:

Latest generation 4-stroke petrol engine with overhead valve shaft "OHV" with anti-vibration system.

The engine is connected to the robust mechanical gearbox: 5 forward + 1 reverse

Nominal Power: 11.5 HP
The most correct term would be “Commercial” Power, meaning the classic standard of power definition officially used until a few years ago by all the most well-known engine manufacturers.

* This data is still more widespread and advertised in the main commercial sales channels, although it is an increased data compared to the actual power.

Effective Power: 7.77 HP (at a rotation speed of 2400 rpm)
Corresponds to the real power expressed at the engine shaft. It is the one indicated as official in the manual or in the technical data of the engine manufacturer.

* It is a data that can vary for the same engine model based on the rotation speed that the equipment manufacturer has decided to have the applied engine deliver.

The Special 384 M lawn tractor is equipped with a 2-blade steel deck. The blade rotation is asynchronous, for a clean and precise grass cut.

The tractor comes standard with collection blades.

Deck width 84 cm.

The deck of the lawn tractor is floating: it easily adapts to ground undulations (as long as they are not excessively harsh).

The blade engagement is electromagnetic and is controlled via the yellow button to the right of the steering wheel. This system allows for quicker and more immediate blade engagement.

The deck height adjustment is done via a lever.

The available cutting positions are 7 and can be varied from a minimum of 25 mm to a maximum of 80 mm.

The cutting deck is equipped with 2 anti-scalp wheels and a double washing connection.

The Special 384 M tractor is equipped with a robust mechanical transmission that ensures reliability and durability over time.

This transmission system offers a total of six gears: five for forward movement and one for reverse.

The lawn tractor is equipped with a lever that allows setting between:

• forward motion with 5 different speeds
• neutral (N)
• reverse motion (R)

The traditional mechanical transmission offers direct and precise control of the vehicle, allowing speed adaptation to different terrain conditions and work needs.

This solution, while not offering the continuity of variation of a hydrostatic transmission, stands out for its simple construction and low maintenance costs.

The controls and adjustments of the Special 384 M tractor are:

• Blade rotation speed regulator
• Parking brake
• Ignition block with key
• Foot brake
• Cutting height adjustment lever
• Gear engagement for forward and reverse (5 gears plus one for reverse)
