In addition the single-pedal operation and direct steering provide a previously unattained level of comfort during driving, manoeuvring and mowing.

The RT 5097 Z comes with a 5 year extended warranty (subject to registration and annual servicing).

  • Features

  • Electromagnetic blade clutch

  • The mowing deck can be easily engaged and disengaged by a switch situated on the control panel.

  • 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.

  • Low step

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

  • Catching management system

  • The catching system guides the grass blades across the entire working width of the mowing deck. It helps to guide the grass towards the mowing blades for a more efficient cut.

  • Grass collection box with sabre handle

  • The polymer grass catcher box can be emptied effortlessly from the driver’s seat simply using the curved shaped handle. The "dumper" design ensures optimum filling and residual-free emptying of the grass catcher box. Cleaning the catcher box is also easy.

  • Single pedal drive

  • With the STIHL single pedal drive, the direction of travel can be conveniently switched between forward and reverse gear using a hand lever for quick manoeuvring. The pressure-sensitive pedal allows for precise control of the speed between top speed and standstill. The separate brake pedal ensures immediate stopping.
