RT 5097
Comfortable ride-on mower with grass catcher box
General
The agile STIHL RT 5097 ride-on mower supports you in the care of extensive lawn areas. 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 an equally high mowing performance and top-quality results. The catching management system on both sides of the mowing deck helps gather the grass as completely as possible across the entire cutting width and guide it to the cutting blades The comfortable single-pedal self-propulsion allows you to manoeuvre even more precisely during mowing. You can change the driving direction of the lawn tractor from forward to reverse gear with a single action. 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 very easy to clean.
