NEWRT 5097 Ride-on lawn mower

Compact ride-on mower for lawns up to 6000 m² | STIHL GB

The agile STIHL RT 5097 ride-on mower will mow lawns up to 6000 m². 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 high mowing performance and a top-quality finish. The catching management system on both sides of the mowing deck gathers the grass across the entire cutting width and guides it towards the cutting blades. The comfortable single pedal drive allows you to manoeuvre the mower precisely, giving you full control, perfect for lawns with flower beds and shrubs. You can change the driving direction of the lawn tractor from forward to reverse gear with a single action. Thanks to the practical curve shaped handle, the 250-litre grass catcher box can be emptied effortlessly from the driver's seat. And, the polymer grass catcher box is very easy to clean. The RT 5097 comes with a 5 year extended warranty (subject to registration and annual servicing).

    Standard features

    • Turf tyres

    • Central cutting 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.

    • 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 catcher box with bow 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.

    • Electromagnetic blade clutch (EBC)

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

    Additional features

    • Mulching function

      With the mulch insert, the STIHL ride-on mowers can be converted into mulching mowers. The grass catcher box is simply removed and the mulch insert pushed into the grass catcher chute. 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, there is no need to dispose of the grass.
