/in , , /by

STIGA Launches a New Lineup of Electric Tractors: STIGA, Europe’s leading manufacturer and distributor of garden care machinery and equipment, unveils its new lineup of 100% electric tractors.

This advanced range is designed to meet the needs of demanding users, integrating the same high-performance technology found in STIGA’s professional equipment. At the heart of the new electric tractor models lies the proprietary ePower Pro battery system—engineered to deliver superior power, extended autonomy, and modular operation for effortless management of big, domestic gardens and for professional outdoor maintenance. This cutting-edge performance is complemented by the machines’ redesigned aesthetic — a look that embodies strength, innovation, and efficiency.

Modular technology for unlimited and customizable runtime 

At the heart of the new Electric Tractors is the 40 Ah (56V – 2,016 Wh) STIGA ePower Pro battery – durable, powerful and modular. A single battery can cover up to 7,500 m², while adding a second battery extends the autonomy up to cover 15,000 m², offering a flexible solution for any mowing need. The modular structure of its battery compartment, combined with separate recharging capability, allows for storage and charging anywhere – even during winter months – ensuring complete freedom of use. For extended mowing sessions, the possibility to swap batteries independently means users can personalise the tractor’s runtime according to their garden size, for unlimited work capacity. 

Powerful performance for the most demanding conditions 

The new electric tractors are available in both side-discharge and collecting versions, each equipped with an advanced cutting system featuring a central tunnel design that ensures a constant grass flow and a consistently clean cut. The electric blade motors deliver steady speed and optimal performance, even in the most demanding conditions. Thanks to direct power transmission, response is immediate, providing smooth, quiet operation and unparalleled cutting comfort — fully electric.

Fresh aesthetic and features built for efficiency

The Electric Tractor range stands out with a bold new look: full-black details, a redesigned front grid for a new, aggressive appearance, and enhanced front LED headlights for superior visibility. A built-in storage compartment under the bonnet offers a convenient, dust-proof space to store the charger and other accessories.

Enhanced driving experience and comfort

Engineered with user comfort and simplicity in mind, the new STIGA Electric Tractor features the Quick Reverse Cut system, allowing the blades to remain active while reversing – activated by a simple click, simplifying manoeuvres even in tighter spaces. Driving the STIGA electric tractor means enjoying a comfortable driving experience. Start-up is immediate, and all controls are easily managed via the integrated dashboard. The One-pedal drive system allows you to move forward and backwards with ease, ensuring full control in every situation. What’s more, you can optimise your mowing session by connecting the machine to the STIGA.GO app, which offers personalised advice via the virtual dashboard. All this without fumes and with significantly reduced noise and vibration levels.

A complete lineup  for every need

The range includes models tailored to different garden sizes and cutting preferences, varying in cutting width, runtime, and discharge configurations – from rear collection to side discharge. Among the models: Tornado 398e, Tornado 5108e, Estate 384e, and Estate 598e, which can be configured with one or two 40 Ah ePower Pro batteries. Although aimed at consumers, each model is built on the same advanced battery architecture as STIGA’s professional-grade machines.

Sustainable power engineered to endure

Choosing a STIGA Electric Tractor means investing in a high-performance solution with low environmental impact. With zero emissions, silent operation, limited vibrations and ease of maintenance, it is ideal for private use with a focus on comfort, efficiency, and power. Finally, its robust design and advanced engineering ensure it will be a reliable companion for years to come. Learn more about the new electric tractors line-up at www.stiga.com/uk/eparkpro-battery-front-mower. The machines are available for purchase through authorised.
