All the controls on the RT 4097 SX mower are within easy reach – with the forward-reverse switch, cutting height adjuster and blade clutch all located near the steering controls. Single pedal drive ensures it’s quick and simple to switch driving directions using the hand lever, which also makes the mower easy to manoeuvre – even in more confined areas.

The innovative catching management system guides the grass blades across the entire working width of the mowing deck, helping to guide the grass towards the mowing blades for a more efficient cut. The mowing deck blades can be easily engaged and disengaged by simply pushing a switch on the control panel.

The robust frame construction gives the mower a high level of stability and driving comfort, with the low step and ample legroom providing a high degree of driving comfort at all times. The driver’s seat can be adjusted tool free, while the ergonomically shaped steering wheel and easily accessible controls also aid relaxed working.
