Stiga Tornado 598e - Battery electric motor 48V/40Ah - Side discharge

The perfect lawn tractor for working on large green areas is the Tornado 598e, with which you can carry out long cutting sessions easily and quietly.

This lawn tractor is equipped with a powerful 48V 40Ahbattery, Tornado 598e delivers enough power to cut lawns of up to 4500 m2 in about 60 minutes, all on a single charge.

When cutting grass, you can adjust the blade speed to 3 different settings, depending on the result you wish to achieve and the condition of the grass you are caring for:

1. Standard
2. Boost
3. Eco-mode (which helps improve energy efficiency)

You can choose the blade speed directly from the control panel, simply by pressing a button. A green LED light lets you know what speed you are cutting at - you can change it whenever you want, while cutting

The electric drive unit with 1.2 kW motor allows a speed of 9.5 km/h, while the two blade motors (tot. 3 kW) are free of belts and pulleys for cheaper maintenance.

Finally, mowing grass is always a pleasure thanks to the wide 98 cm cutting width, adjustable in 7 positions between 25 and 80 mm.

The Stiga Tornado 598e lawn tractor is equipped with STIGA's cutting edge management system, which performs constant diagnostics, records work data and communicates with the STIGA.GO app. This will allow you to check the machine's control panel in real time directly from your smartphone, with tips on how to optimise the cut, and how much working autonomy is left before the battery runs out.

The riding-on mower is equipped with 3 cutting systems:

• Side discharge (on standard equipment)
• Mulching (for free)

Maintenance is greatly reduced, as there are no spark plugs, filters and other mechanical parts prone to failure.

The lawn tractor mounts a powerful 48V/40 Ah electric motor under the opening front bonnet.

The 3 kW ePower motor allows operating on areas of up to max. 4500 s.q. m.

Reduced emissions and minimal maintenance due to fewer parts subject to sudden failure or wear.

Charging Time: 2.75h

Temperature control with sensors

Battery charger included

This Stiga riding-on mower uses the same technology of standard car batteries. The advantages of this technology are: high autonomy and high power, perfect for this type of riding-on mowers. To maintain this performance, it is necessary to charge the battery when not in use, particularly in cold weather, to prevent the battery from being discharged for long periods.

- SIDE DISCHARGE (standard equipment): the most traditional, the lawn tractor cuts, leaving the grass on the lawn. For those who have to mow large-sized areas without needing to collect grass, for who doesn’t cut grass too often and has to cut over-grown grass for which the mulching or the grass collection system are no longer efficient.

- MULCHING (for free): this grass mowing system allows crushing grass clippings and dropping them on the ground. The resulting grass particles are so small, they will be barely noticeable on the lawn. This eliminates the problem of its disposal (reducing any effort and shortening the time-saving). Moreover, grass clippings will break down into nutrients and water for the lawn (grass is 80% water) and will thus ensure a perfectly balanced biological cycle. However, it is worth remembering that, to ensure the greatest mulching results, the lawn should be irrigated, and the grass needs cutting at least once a week.

The conversion from one system to the other is very simple, all you have to do is cover the side drain with the appropriate plug.

The electric drive unit with 1.2 kW motor allows a speed of 9.5 km/h, while the two blade motors (tot. 3 kW) are free of belts and pulleys for cheaper maintenance.

Integrated braking system in the electric motor system, without brake pedal. Simply release the transmission pedal and the tractor stops automatically.

Tractor equipped with automatic electric transmission via foot pedal, for forward and reverse motion.

The controls and adjustments of the tractor are all housed on the control panel near the steering wheel and are:

• Feature-rich digital control panel, eco-mode, cruise control, LED headlights and reverse cut-in
• Blade control (red button): pull the button to operate the blades; push it to stop them.
• Accelerator and reverse pedal
• Lock with key and USB port
• Lever for adjusting the height of the cutting deck

Thanks to the Bluetooth module, the lawn tractor can easily connect to the app STIGA.GO app on your mobile phone , which can act as both a control panel for an immediate overview of your mowing session, and offering information on previous sessions, the amount of CO2 saved, maintenance tasks and the smart charging function.

There is no brake pedal as the brake system is integrated into the electric motor system; simply release the pedal and the tractor stops automatically.

Large and robust 98 cm cutting deck, with asynchronously rotating double blades, perfect for clean and precise grass cutting.

STIGA Smart cutting modes: during grass cutting, you can adjust the blade speed to 3 different settings, depending on the result you want to achieve and the condition of the grass you are caring for.

Centralised cutting height adjustment via lever. You can choose from 7 different positions ranging from a minimum of 25 to a maximum of 80 mm.

Operation of the blades is electromagnetic and takes place via the button located near the steering wheel, for maximum safety and convenience.

ePower is a new generation of batteries, tested and synchronised for Stiga products.

Tested with greater attention than the standard requirements, they offer better performance and reliability. Safer due to more space for the air to cool and smarter; the instruments where the batteries are housed continuously adjust the power demand so that the battery only supplies the machine with the power needed for the task at hand.

Thanks to intelligent energy management operating in the various machines, the battery will supply energy for longer and last longer.

Also, intelligent is the management of the charger: it will automatically adjust the optimum voltage and temperature during charging to maintain an optimal battery level over time.

This generation of batteries are therefore designed and engineered for the equipment where they are housed and are ideal for large lawns and areas, thanks precisely to their high performance and long autonomy.

Other features of the Stiga lawn tractor are:

• Canister housing
• Large-sized tyres: they ensure higher care of the lawn and great adherence to the ground and traction on a riding-on mower.
• The driving seat can be adjusted according to the Operator’s needs and lies on large springs to absorb eventual bumps on the terrain.
• LED headlights
• Ergonomic steering wheel
• Low vibrations
• Anti-scalp wheels.
• Front Bull Bar
• Cutting deck washing joint
• Rear wheels: 18x8.50-8
• Front wheels: 15x6.00-6

A convenient additional function is the STIGA SMART charging program: when you store your riding-on mower, it can be convenient to choose a specific charging time in order to save money. With the STIGA.GO app, you can choose the smart recharging function, so that you can plan a recharging time slot for your riding-on mower. (it will recharge only during the specified time period)
