- A review of the STIGA Estate 798e electric garden tractor. This zero emission battery electric garden ride-on tractor mower has a runtime of up to 110 minutes or 7,000sqm coverage on a single charge.
Being 100% electric, its zero emission and silent when the cutting blades are not turning. There are no knobs or levers as everything is electric and controlled by push buttons. From switching on, to raising and lowering the cutting deck and even emptying the grass collector is all via a push button, making it much easier to use by the elderly or frail.

Interesting, thank you. I have a old petrol ride on that I have often fantasised about converting. I did not know that they already existed commercially.
Thanks. There's some mower conversion videos on YT.
I have got the stiga 372e swift it does a good job it came with 3 x 5ah batteries I think the stated cut times are a bit optimistic. It’s much better than my old atco 28h no petrol to get . Due to my age I have bought the mulching plug just started using the plug this year
😂 I was thinking how funny it was that your quiet mower was making a noise like a turkey! And there was the turkey, what a magnificent bird he is too....back to the video...
Well that was fun, made a nice change Matt, lovely place you have there. I must say it is pleasing to know that the Stiga is more fuel efficient than the petrol equivalent, thats really great news to encourage folk to choose the cleaner machine.👍🦃
Yes, it makes a change for the electric model to have more range than the petrol model!
Thank you very informative and well considered review
Thank you. Glad it was useful.
Assuming it's reliable then I think it will be my next purchase. I'm done with pouring petrol in my incredibly inefficient Husqvarna, belts coming off or breaking, the fumes and the noise.
The blades of a petrol mower don't drown out the noise of the engine, they just add to it.
And it doesn't suffer from stale fuel when left unused over the winter or poison you with the exhaust fumes. Having an exhaust so close to you is just such a bad idea, particularly with two-stroke engines. It's astonishing how the dangers are ignored and this is just accepted. All garden equipment should be battery electric.
Noise level shows as 100dB, please wear ear defenders for any prolonged exposure over 85dB to prevent damage to your hearing.
thank you as normal
cheers
@@GoGreenAutos did you get your eBay clips? For the under bonnet cover
@@StephenLyons1984 I ordered some off eBay which looked identical. They were, but about 30% smaller! So I think I'll have to look at getting them 3D printed. I've got a few spares at the moment, so no rush to do anything else just yet, but I'll do another video when ready.
@@GoGreenAutos ah that's good good. But them eBay ads can be so misleading
Cracking machine! I'd guess the price will come down as it becomes more mainstream?
Yes I guess so.
Yes, it's the price that bothers me. I have a similar sized petrol mower that is rated for about an acre which takes between 1 and 2 hours but the belt problems are immense. I rarely complete a first cut of the season without throwing a belt at least once, this year it threw the belt three times and one of those it destroyed the belt in the process. Basically it doesn't like cutting long grass and is a maintenance nightmare. BUT, it did only cost £1000 new so unfortunately I can't begin to justify the cost, much as I would like to. Not sure I understand the refuelling comment though, I get at least 2 full cuts before needing to add fuel but maybe mine has a bigger tank (about 2 gallons) that this one's petrol brother.
How does this thing ride in less firm ground and mossy lawns? Will it sink?
I assume your assumption is that an electric is heavier than its petrol equivalent, which is not the case with most cars and its the same with these. Looking online now, this looks to be 18kg lighter than the petrol version and that's without the weight of the petrol in the fuel tank.
@@GoGreenAutos I don’t have any right now and I’m just asking about them in general. I’d like an electric one but I’m not sure if a tractor would do okay on mossy soft forest lawns.
Wonder what the mi/kWh is...
A bit of maths could work that out. It does 7,000m2 of cutting per charge. So divide that by the 98cm wide cut and you could work out the distance it has to travel. Battery is 3.3kWh.
A mower aimed for people desiring full flexibility and convenience.
7k for that? No way🤭 I have old Murray 125/96, year model 1996 if I remember right. I got that for free 8 y ago, needed cutting bed welding and repainting, bearings, blades, belts etc but after that major self made service it have only needed starter relay cleaning and new ignition lock. One oil change a year. Not a single "safety" switches anymore and everything is mechanically operated. My yard cutting area is about 1,4 ha.
I like evs and drive daily my ioniq but lawn mover and etc tools what I use need to be traditional ones.
So I have the earlier version of this tractor which cost me £4600 in Jan 22. It's basically the same machine except the electronics have been updated and it has an electric grass box. Personally I like my machines to be as basic as possible so the electric box is a no-no to me. In terms of performance I think the Stiga isn't as powerful as my outgoing petrol unit but on the other hand my neighbours are pleased I bought it. Charging seems to take an age but hey I do that overnight. The chassis is very unforgiving and the ride is hard but the MOST ANNOYING feature is reversing while mowing. As soon as you hit reverse the blades cut out which is fine if you are mowing large open spaces but when it comes to the fiddly bits it can drive you insane. I have since circumnavigated this switch and I can go back and forth all day. It's a strange feature as none of my petrol mowers did this, only this electric one. The cruise control is especially nice but disengaging it makes for a jerky ride. All things considered I would buy this mower again but not at the price you paid for yours.
Interesting. Does yours have the switch which allows the blades to still spin when reversing? You have to remember to push it each you reverse of course.
Exactly that - but get it slightly wrong or not in sync and the blades stop immediately so I circumnavigated the whole thing. Now my machine just keeps cutting in forward or reverse - luxury. I mean what's the point of it, it's like pushing a button on your cars dash to engage reverse and if you get it wrong the motor cuts out. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Price?
Covered in video. Go to 06:24.
Be warned for stiga battery powered equipment! I had a stiga lawnmower and a leafblower on 48 volt batteries. I had to throw them away because of batteries who died after 4 years. New stiga batteries do not fit! And are not sold anymore! Buy a brand that makes batteries who you can buy after many years! So you dont have to throw away your expensive equipment! Be warned!
