STIHL RT 4097 Petrol Ride-on Lawn Mower

The mulching function saves you having to dispose of cuttings and lets you fertilise your lawn naturally. The mulching blades shred the cut grass into small particles which are then automatically distributed evenly over the turf.

The mowing deck with side discharge allows you to mow large lawns quickly. The side discharge conveys the cuttings directly onto the lawn, so that you do not have to empty a grass collection box.

Manoeuvre quickly, and easily switch between forward and reverse gear using the hand lever – the STIHL-specific single-pedal drive enables comfortable and agile movement. The pressure-sensitive pedal enables precise control between standstill and maximum speed. The separate brake pedal allows the power tool to be stopped immediately at any time.

The electromagnetic blade clutch enables you to conveniently switch the blades of your ride-on mower on and off from the driver’s seat. This means you can react flexibly, for example by raising the cutting deck when driving over rocky surfaces, to protect the blades. When driving back onto the lawn to be mowed, move the cutting deck down again, and switch the blades back on at the push of a button.

Thanks to the grass guidance system, you can cut edges more precisely with your ride-on mower and therefore minimise the effort required for manual re-cutting. The grass guidance system on both sides of the mower optimally catches grass blades over the entire cutting width and feeds them to the mower blades.

Adjust the optimal seating position of your ride-on mower without tools: the spring-mounted and height-adjustable seat is comfortable, practical and can be adjusted to almost any height.

The low step-on access allows you to easily assume and leave the sitting position on the mower. At the same time, the step-through design provides plenty of legroom.

The robust frame construction gives your ride-on mower stability and makes it comfortable to drive. You also benefit from the compact design when working with attachments such as the snow plough set.

Turf tyres reduce the chance of tracks being left by the ride-on mower thanks to their rounded tyre shoulders. This allows you to treat your lawn more gently.

The central cut-height adjustment of your ride-on mower makes it possible for you to maintain an ideal lawn height on your green area, depending on the terrain. And it’s easy to use: next to the seat is the lever via which you can adjust the cutting height in several levels. A scale indicates the current level in each case.
