Why Choose This Ride-on Mower?
If you manage large gardens, estates or grounds where time, efficiency and comfort matter, the STIHL RT 5097 is a top-tier choice. Its wide cutting deck, large collector and hydrostatic drive system give you speed and precision, while the comfortable operator environment ensures less fatigue. Unlike the side-discharge RT 4097 SX, the RT 5097's 250-litre catcher makes it the better choice when you want clippings collected rather than distributed across the lawn.
