STIGA Estate 598e Battery Garden Tractor Overview

The STIGA Estate 598e is designed for large gardens where a tidy finish is just as important as mowing speed. Unlike side-discharge tractors, the Estate range collects grass clippings as you mow, leaving lawns clean and free from rows or piles of cut grass. The combination of a wide 98 cm twin-blade deck and a large 240-litre collector allows the Estate 598e to cover large areas while maintaining a neat appearance.

Powered by STIGA’s ePower Pro battery system, the Estate 598e delivers the performance expected from a modern ride-on mower without petrol engines, oil changes or complex servicing. Electric power also means quieter operation and a smoother driving experience, making it far more comfortable for longer mowing sessions.

Designed for Clean Lawn Collection

The defining feature of the STIGA Estate 598e is its grass collection system. A central collection tunnel moves cut grass efficiently from the deck to the rear collector, helping prevent blockages when mowing thicker lawns.

• 98 cm twin-blade cutting deck
• 240-litre rear grass collector
• Central tunnel designed to reduce clogging
• Rear discharge and mulching capability

This setup is ideal for lawns where appearance matters, such as landscaped gardens or formal lawns around the home.

Flexible Battery Runtime

The Estate 598e uses the STIGA ePower Pro battery platform, giving owners the flexibility to run the tractor with either one or two batteries depending on lawn size. This modular setup allows the tractor to adapt to different mowing needs.

• Run with one battery for lawns up to around 6,500 m²
• Add a second battery to extend coverage up to approximately 13,000 m²
• Remove batteries easily for off-board charging
• Reduce servicing compared with petrol ride-on mowers

For many homeowners this system offers the convenience of electric power without sacrificing the mowing capacity normally associated with petrol tractors.

Three Cutting Modes for Different Conditions

The STIGA 598e introduces three selectable cutting modes that allow the tractor to adjust blade performance depending on lawn conditions.

• Standard mode – balanced performance for everyday mowing
• ECO mode – reduced energy use to maximise battery runtime
• Boost mode – increased blade performance for thicker grass

This flexibility allows the Estate 598e to handle changing lawn conditions throughout the season while still managing battery usage effectively.

Smooth Electric Driving Experience

The electric transmission provides a noticeably smoother driving experience than many traditional ride-on mowers. Instead of gears or clutch controls, the tractor uses a single pedal to regulate speed and direction.

• Single-pedal electric drive control
• Quiet operation compared with petrol tractors
• Low vibration during long mowing sessions
• Consistent torque from electric blade motors

This makes the Stiga 598e easy to operate for homeowners upgrading from walk-behind mowers or older petrol tractors.

Digital Dashboard and STIGA.GO Connectivity

The Estate 598e includes a digital dashboard that keeps key information visible while mowing. Through the STIGA.GO app, owners can also monitor battery status and review mowing sessions.

• LED dashboard display
• Battery and performance monitoring
• Charging management via the STIGA.GO app
• Mowing session tracking

These features help users manage battery usage and keep the tractor ready for the next mowing session.

Comfort and Practical Features

The STIGA Estate 598e is built to keep operators comfortable during longer mowing sessions. A redesigned steering wheel and adjustable seat reduce fatigue, while practical features improve day-to-day usability.

• Comfort steering wheel and adjustable seat
• LED headlights for mowing in lower light conditions
• Pivoting front axle for improved ground contact
• Front bumper protection
• Deck wash port for easier cleaning
• Storage compartment and cup holder

The included rear tow hitch allows the Estate 598e to tow garden trailers and other attachments, making it useful for moving materials or carrying tools around larger properties.

Where the Estate 598e Fits in the STIGA Range

The STIGA Estate 598e sits within the battery-powered Estate tractor lineup and focuses on grass collection and lawn presentation. Buyers choosing between models in the STIGA range often compare the Estate tractors with the Tornado series.

The Tornado tractors are designed for side discharge mowing and faster cutting of larger, rougher areas. The Estate 598e, on the other hand, prioritises a cleaner finish by collecting clippings as it mows.

For homeowners managing large gardens who want a quiet, low-maintenance ride-on mower with proper grass collection, the STIGA Estate 598e provides a practical step into battery-powered lawn tractors.
