Stiga ST 966- Petrol Snowplough - WS300

The STIGA ST 966, a highly effective dual-stage snow thrower, is ideal for tackling the most stubborn snow. This model boasts a working width of 66 cm and sturdy 16" Snow Hog wheels, making it perfect for the toughest winter conditions.

Its hydrostatic transmission ensures a comfortable and vibration-free operating experience, highlighting its professional-grade features.

Equipped with a powerful 302 cc STIGA WS 300 combustion engine, the STIGA ST 966 stands out for its reliability and its ability to start electrically in temperatures down to -30°C. The heated handles, activated by a button on the control panel, offer additional comfort, allowing you to work continuously even in freezing conditions.

The all-electric controls, ⁣ intuitively placed on the control panel, greatly enhance the user experience. Another strength of this snow thrower is its new three-blade impeller, which can throw snow up to 15 meters away.

For optimum visibility in low light conditions, the STIGA ST 966 is equipped with adjustable LED headlights. These features make the STIGA ST 966 snow thrower an excellent choice for anyone looking for an effective and comfortable solution for snow removal.

Warning! The engine is supplied WITHOUT OIL!

The WS300 engine delivers 6.2 kW at 3600 and a 66 cm auger means it can tackle even the snow with impact and launch it with a simple crank that directly drives the chute.

The engine of this snow blower is equipped with electric start. This system is provided with battery. Indeed, this allows starting the snow thrower directly, connecting it to the electrical socket.

This solution was devised because batteries, subjected to sudden changes in temperature, tend not to retain their charge, in fact, to take it completely. And more, they can hardly stand sporadic use.

Winterised engines such as this one are not provided with an air filter because working at low temperatures and with snow could create moisture that would then freeze, ruining the filter and creating problems for the operation of the machine.

The Stiga ST 966 two-stage snow thrower is distinguished by its construction and functional characteristics. With a turbine width of 66 cm and a height of 55 cm, it can effectively handle large snow areas. The turbine diameter is 35 cm, made of serrated steel, a material chosen for its strength and durability.

At the heart of this system is the impeller, with a diameter of 32 cm and a three-blade design, optimized to maximize snow removal efficiency. This impeller is capable of projecting snow up to a distance of 15 meters, offering a remarkable clearing capacity.

Another innovative aspect is the chimney and deflector control, both made of sturdy steel. The 180° chute rotation allows great flexibility in directing the snow that has been cleared. Control of these components is facilitated by electric levers located on the dashboard, making operation simple and intuitive.

The one-handed handle adds an extra level of comfort and control, allowing the operator to manoeuvre the snow thrower with ease. This combination of construction and function makes the snow thrower extremely effective and easy to operate.

The device has a sound power level measured at 102-103 dB(A), with minimal variation, ensuring predictability in the working environment. Guaranteed sound power level remains constant at 103 dB(A), giving clarity on sound performance.

The operator sound pressure is 88-90 dB(A), a manageable value for machinery in this category. The vibrations transmitted to the handle, of 6,6 m/s² e 6,1 m/s², are contained, indicating a design that takes into account the comfort of the operator. In summary, the device effectively balances high performance with comfortable operation.

The device is designed with a specific cleaning mode, which ensures optimal use under different conditions. The steering features a manual differential lock release system with dual controls, offering precise manoeuvrability and control.

The wheels, measuring 16" x 4.80-8, are specifically designed for snow, ensuring grip and stability on slippery surfaces. This choice of wheels is essential to ensure that the device can operate effectively in different types of snow.

In terms of lighting, the device is equipped with adaptable LED lights. These lights not only improve visibility in low light conditions, but also contribute to increased safety during use.

The central control panel is designed to be intuitive and easy to use, allowing quick and easy access to all functions of the device. A particularly appreciated feature is the heated handle, which offers additional comfort in cold conditions, making the use of the device more pleasant even in extremely low temperatures. These features together contribute to an effective, comfortable and safe operating experience.

The side skids of this device are a key aspect of its design, contributing greatly to its versatility and functionality. Made of metal and HDPE (High Density Polyethylene), these skids are designed to ensure efficient operation on multiple surfaces while maintaining a high level of care for the working environment.

The use of metal gives the skids exceptional strength and durability, allowing the device to operate effectively in difficult underfoot conditions. Metal is known for its resistance to wear and corrosion, which is especially important in wet and cold conditions when snow is being removed

The design of this device features a hydrostatic drive, a system that provides smooth, consistent speed control, optimizing operations in various environments and conditions. The hydrostatic transmission is known for its ability to provide instant response and smooth acceleration, which is essential for maximum efficiency during operation.

The device operates on a two-stage system, an approach that allows heavy, compact snow to be handled more effectively. In this system, the first stage breaks and collects snow, while the second stage ejects snow. This separation of tasks allows for faster snow removal with less effort than single-stage systems.

As for the gears, the device is equipped with a variable transmission. This feature allows the speed to be infinitely adjusted, without the limitations of a fixed number of gears. This flexibility is particularly useful in situations that require rapid adaptation to changes in terrain conditions or snow density.

The transmission method via lever makes controlling the device intuitive and easy. This setting allows users to easily change speed and direction, improving the overall experience and making work less tiring.

The combination of a hydrostatic drive, a two-stage system, a variable transmission and simple lever control makes this device extremely efficient, versatile and easy to manoeuvre, suitable for various snow clearing requirements.
