RT 5097 Petrol Ride-on Lawn Mower: Compact ride-on mower for lawns up to 6000 m²

The agile STIHL RT 5097 ride-on mower will mow lawns up to 6000 m². With its high degree of driving comfort and the clearly arranged controls, this ride-on mower offers well-thought-out technology for effortless working. You can adjust the comfortably spring-loaded seat of this lawn tractor precisely to your body height without the use of tools. Thanks to the simple cutting height adjustment and the electromagnetic blade clutch for activating and deactivating the mowing deck, you achieve high mowing performance and a top-quality finish. The catching management system on both sides of the mowing deck gathers the grass across the entire cutting width and guides it towards the cutting blades. The comfortable single pedal drive allows you to manoeuvre the mower precisely, giving you full control, perfect for lawns with flower beds and shrubs. You can change the driving direction of the lawn tractor from forward to reverse gear with a single action. Thanks to the practical curve shaped handle, the 250-litre grass catcher box can be emptied effortlessly from the driver’s seat. And, the polymer grass catcher box is very easy to clean. The RT 5097 comes with a 5 year extended warranty (subject to registration and annual servicing).
