General

Zoom

The STIHL RT 5097 C ride-on mower supports you in the care of large lawn areas. With its high degree of driving comfort and the clearly arranged controls, this high-performance model offers proven technology for agile manoeuvring and mowing. This begins with the seat position. You can individually adjust the comfortable spring-loaded seat 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 convincing results and a high mowing performance. The catching management system on both sides of the mowing deck ensures that the grass blades are gathered in ideal manner across the entire cutting width of the ride-on mower. The comfortable single-pedal self-propulsion allows you to manoeuvre even more precisely during mowing. You can switch the driving direction of the lawn tractor between forward and reverse gear with a single action. And thanks to the practical bow handle, the 250-litre grass catcher box can be emptied effortlessly from the driver's seat. The plastic grass catcher box in the "dumper" design is also very easy to clean.

    Mulching function

    With the mulch insert, the STIHL ride-on mowers can be converted into mulching mowers. For this purpose, the grass catcher box is simply removed and the mulch insert pushed into the grass catcher tunnel. This allows the grass to be shredded into fine particles inside the closed housing before they fall back into the turf, returning vital nutrients and moisture to the soil. Through this natural form of fertilising, disposal of the clippings is dispensed with.
