The RT 5097 Z features an extremely powerful twin cylinder STIHL EVC 700 engine for top level performance. In addition, the single pedal operation and direct steering provide a previously unattainable level of comfort during driving, manoeuvring and mowing. The Grass Guide System on both sides of the mowing deck catches grass blades at the edge of the deck and guides them towards the cutting blades. The two blade system with angled blades provides a neat and clean cutting pattern over a width of 95 cm.
