The STIHL RT 5097 Z garden tractor provides high driving comfort combined with efficient mowing. Thanks to the 2-cylinder engine and large cutting width, the garden tractor delivers very good results when working on large areas up to 6000 m². The tool-free adjustable, cushioned seat ensures user comfort.
All necessary functions are controlled directly from the cockpit, so the driver does not have to get up from the seat to, for example, empty the grass catcher. The hands easily reach the cutting height adjustment or the electromagnetic blade clutch, which allows smooth engagement and disengagement of the mower deck blades.

Large, wide tires protect the lawn and ensure driving stability of the STIHL garden tractor. The tires do not damage the grass and leave almost no tracks.
The integrated tow hitch allows easy attachment of useful accessories, such as the convenient APU 300 trailer, which can also be used as a wheelbarrow.
The cutting height adjustment lever is located directly next to the driver's seat. It enables smooth, individual adjustment of the cutting height to current needs in the range of 1-8.
The solid frame construction provides sufficient stability and driving comfort. The compact design of the STIHL garden tractor also proves itself when working with attachments such as a snow removal kit.
The height of the comfortable, cushioned seat can be adjusted by the driver without the use of tools. This allows the seat to be individually adapted to the driver's preferences.
Easy entry and exit from the tractor thanks to the lowered entry threshold to the driver's seat. STIHL garden tractors also stand out with plenty of legroom.
The grass collection system on both sides of the mower deck also captures grass located at the edge of the cutting path and feeds it to the blades. This enables very precise mowing of corners and narrow edges.
The grass catcher made of plastic can be easily emptied using a special handle without getting off the driver's seat. The excavator bucket-shaped design ensures optimal filling, complete emptying, and very easy cleaning of the grass catcher.
The single-pedal wheel drive makes the STIHL garden tractor easier to maneuver. It allows convenient changing of direction forward and backward using a hand lever. Precise speed adjustment is facilitated by a pressure-sensitive pedal. A separate brake pedal ensures immediate stopping.
The blades of the mower deck can be freely engaged and disengaged on the control panel in the cockpit thanks to the electromagnetic blade clutch.
