Hydrostatic drive with one pedal
Use the gas pedal on the right to move forward and backward. The brake pedal is on the left side. Very easy and convenient thanks to the hydrostatic transmission.

Integrated towbar
It is easy to connect various optional devices to the integrated towbar.

Centralized cutting height adjustment
The cutting height adjustment lever is located directly next to the seat and there are no less than 8 different cutting heights to choose from. The cutting height can also be locked in a certain position, so that the height does not change even when driving on uneven terrain.

Cutting table with two blade system
The inclined blades of the two-blade system create a neat, beautiful cutting mark with a cutting width of 95 cm. The cutting table can be removed without tools.

Low step
The lawnmower's low step offers plenty of legroom and enables comfortable ascent and descent.

Comfortable seat
Sprung, adjustable seat. The adjustments offer the driver an optimal and comfortable working position, regardless of height. The seat also swivels completely forward.

Long drain handle
The plastic collection container is easy to empty from the seat. In addition, it is easy to clean thanks to its thoughtful design.

Electromagnetic blade switch
It is easy to switch the blades of the cutting table on and off from the control panel.

Sturdy frame construction
A very strong and sturdy body surrounded by a sturdy bumper. It offers a stable and long-lasting frame and improves the handling of the riding mower. Standard on all riding mowers, except RT 4097 SX.

Turf tires
The large Turf tires save the lawn from unnecessary strain and they hardly leave marks on the lawn.
