This Castelgarden XHT 240 4WD tractor is equipped with the Stiga St 650 Twin twin-cylinder engine, a 635 cc engine that develops a nominal power of 14.21 Hp at 2400 rpm.

The St 650 Twin engine is powerful, reliable, and generates low noise and emissions.

Features:

Nominal Power: 22 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 renowned engine manufacturers.

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

Effective Power: 14.21 HP (at a rotation speed of 2400 rpm)
Corresponds to the actual power expressed at the crankshaft. It is the one indicated as official in the engine manufacturer's manual or technical data.

* This is a figure that can vary for the same engine model depending on the rotation speed that the equipment manufacturer has decided to have the engine deliver.

1- COLLECTION WITH BASKET (standard):

Brand new and spacious collection basket with a capacity of 360 litres, among the largest in its category.

The bag emptying system is very simple: it is done through a very effective system, leveraging the removable handle. This way, you can empty the bag at the desired point without any effort.

The bag can be removed in an instant: simply lift it upwards to slide it out of its "bridge" housing.

2- MULCHING (standard):

A cutting system that shreds the cut grass, leaving it on the lawn, pulverizing it to the point that it almost seems to have 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 subsequently turn 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 irrigated, and the grass cut very often. Switching from one system to another is very easy.

3- Rear Discharge (not included, purchasable separately as an accessory)

Thanks to the new hydrostatic transmission with 2 pedals, driving the XHT 240 4WD tractor will be easy and intuitive. Everything can be controlled simply with the right foot resting on the pedal.

The operation is very simple: to move forward, just press the pedal with the tip of your foot. The tractor will move forward based on the pressure applied. To engage reverse, just push with the heel on the other end of the pedal.

Robust gears make the transmission difficult to break.

The hydrostatic transmission is by nature much more modern and functional (although more expensive) than the traditional manual gear transmission. The latter, whenever the speed needs to be changed, requires the operator to stop, change gear (because all tractors with manual or mechanical transmission require the gear change to be done from a standstill), release the clutch, and start again at the desired speed. Certainly, if the speed needs to be changed several times (for example, in all those gardens where there are trees, pots, or any other kind of obstacle), the traditional gear transmission would be decidedly impractical. The hydrostatic transmission instead allows immediate speed changes, without ever stopping, in the utmost practicality, in a totally automatic manner, simply by varying the pressure on the drive pedal of this transmission.

The CastelGarden XHT 240 4WD lawn tractor is equipped with a 2-blade deck.

The tractor comes standard with collection blades

Cutting deck width 102 cm.

The deck of the lawn tractor is floating: it easily adapts to the undulations of the terrain (as long as they are not excessively harsh). Moreover, this model is equipped with a wide protection that completely encloses the deck.

The blade engagement is electromagnetic and is controlled via the red button to the right of the steering wheel. This system avoids manual engagement through the classic lever found on many types of tractors and works thanks to an electromagnetic clutch that allows for quick blade engagement. Nothing is easier than pressing a button.

The cutting deck height adjustment is done via a lever.

The available cutting positions are 9 and can be varied from a maximum of 100 mm to a minimum of 25 mm.

Using the lever located to the right of the seat, it is possible to raise or lower the cutting deck to facilitate machine movement.

The cutting deck is equipped with a washing connection
