  • Features

    Turf tyres

    The large turf tyres of the STIHL ride-on mower help to protect the lawn. Thanks to their rounded tyre design, they reduce the formation of driving tracks.

    Central cut-height adjustment

    The lever to adjust the deck cutting height is located directly next to the driver's seat. It enables individual adjustment of the cutting height in up to eight steps.

    Robust frame

    The robust frame construction gives the mower a high level of stability and driving comfort. The STIHL ride-on mowers compact design  is great for using attachments such as the AGW 098 garden roller or PICK 300 tilting trailer.

    Spring-loaded and adjustable seat

    The most comfortable seat position can be set without the use of tools. This allows individual adjustment of the driver's seat to almost any body size.

    The low step on the STIHL ride-on mowers provides ample legroom and allows for comfortable access to the seat.
