Power and hydrostatic drive – twin-cylinder performance
At the heart of the Stiga Estate 598 W lawn tractor is a 586 cm³ ST 550 Twin Powered by STIGA engine. The twin-cylinder layout helps the engine run smoothly and at lower operating temperatures, supporting long working life and reduced vibration through the seat and steering wheel.
- Engine brand: STIGA
- Engine model: ST 550 Twin Powered by STIGA
- Displacement: 586 cm³
- Net power output: approx. 10.4 kW @ 2,600 rpm
- Power source: petrol, air-cooled, 4-stroke
- Fuel tank capacity: 6 litres
- Battery: 12 V, 18 Ah (electric start)
- Suggested working area: up to approx. 5,000 m²
Drive is via a pedal-operated hydrostatic transmission. Instead of selecting fixed gears, you press the pedal to go faster and ease off to slow down, in both forward and reverse. This gives:
- Smoother control around trees, borders and tight areas.
- Less effort when changing speed on slopes or in confined spaces.
- Rear-wheel drive traction suited to typical domestic lawns and larger gardens.
Cutting system – 98 cm deck, collection, rear discharge and mulching
The 98 cm twin-blade cutting deck on the Estate 598 W is designed to balance productivity with manoeuvrability. It uses two untimed blades to give a clean cut and strong airflow into the rear collector or out through the discharge channel, depending on how the machine is set up.
- Cutting width: 98 cm
- Number of blades: 2, untimed
- Cutting height range: 25 – 80 mm
- Cutting height positions: 7, with manual lever adjustment
- Minimum uncut radius: approx. 70 cm
- Blade engagement: electric (electromagnetic clutch)
- Cutting methods: rear collection as standard; additional rear discharge and Multiclip mulching modes when configured
In collecting mode, clippings are transported into the 240 litre textile collector for a tidy, finished appearance. When rear discharge is selected, clippings are ejected out of the rear, useful in longer or rougher areas. With the optional Multiclip mulching kit fitted, clippings are finely chopped and returned to the lawn, helping to feed the turf naturally when mowing regularly.
The deck is supported by two anti-scalp wheels, and the combination of deck design and pivoting front axle helps the tractor follow ground contours without scuffing the lawn.

- Steering wheel: STIGA classic steering wheel.
- Seat: STIGA classic seat with adjustment by screws and seat safety contact breaker.
- Dashboard: LED dashboard giving clear operating information.

Is the Stiga Estate 598 W the right lawn tractor for you?
Choose the Stiga Estate 598 W petrol garden tractor if you:
- Have a lawn or mixed grass area of up to around 5,000 m².
- Want a twin-cylinder, hydrostatic rear-collect tractor for a finer, well-collected finish.
- Value the flexibility of collection, rear discharge and mulching in one machine.
- Prefer a 98 cm deck that balances fast work rates with good manoeuvrability.
If you like the Estate 598 W concept but want a single-cylinder engine at a lower price point, consider the

FAQs – Stiga Estate 598 W lawn tractor
What size lawn is the Stiga Estate 598 W suitable for?
The Stiga Estate 598 W is specified for lawns of up to around 5,000 m², depending on layout and how frequently you mow. For significantly larger areas, you may wish to consider a wider-deck machine or a higher-capacity tractor from the Stiga or other ranges we stock.
Does the Estate 598 W collect grass?
Yes. The Estate 598 W is primarily a rear-collect garden tractor with a 240 litre grass collector. It can also be configured for rear discharge and mulching when conditions and accessories allow, giving you flexibility between a fine, collected finish and faster rough-cut work.
Is the transmission hydrostatic or manual?
The Stiga Estate 598 W lawn tractor uses a pedal-operated hydrostatic transmission. There is no manual gear selection – you simply press the pedal to accelerate and ease off to slow down, both forwards and in reverse, making it very easy to control around obstacles.
What is the difference between the Estate 598 and the Estate 598 W?
Both tractors share a 98 cm rear-collect cutting deck and similar chassis layout, but the Estate 598 W is fitted with a twin-cylinder ST 550 engine, whereas the Estate 598 uses a single-cylinder engine. If you want smoother power delivery and additional torque for heavier work, the 598 W is the stronger choice.
