The STIHL RT 4082 is a compact yet powerful garden rider designed for homeowners who need dependable mowing performance combined with excellent manoeuvrability. Its 80cm cutting width makes it particularly practical for navigating tighter garden spaces, while the responsive steering and compact design help when mowing around trees, borders and other obstacles.
Power comes from a 452cc STIHL EVC 4000 four-stroke petrol engine, delivering reliable performance for demanding domestic mowing. The rear-mounted engine also provides the operator with a clear forward view, making it easier to see obstacles and work closer to lawn edges.
Smooth Hydrostatic Driving
The hydrostatic transmission provides responsive, continuously variable speed control through the foot pedal. Forward and reverse selection is handled by a conveniently positioned hand lever, allowing you to change direction without complicated gear changes.
The RT 4082 has been designed with manoeuvrability in mind, making it especially useful where a larger garden tractor may struggle to navigate tight areas.
80cm Cutting System
The 80cm / 32-inch cutting deck provides an effective working width while keeping the machine compact. The cutting height can be adjusted through eight preset positions, allowing you to choose the appropriate finish for different grass conditions.
The 250-litre grass catcher provides substantial collection capacity and can be operated from the driver’s seat, helping you continue mowing with fewer interruptions.
A separately available mulching insert can be used to finely process grass clippings and return them to the lawn, providing an alternative to conventional collection.
Comfortable & Practical Design
The adjustable driver’s seat provides a comfortable operating position, while the wide step-through chassis makes getting on and off the machine straightforward.
Rounded, chunky tyres are designed to help reduce visible tracks across the lawn while providing stable traction. An integrated trailer hitch also allows the rider to work with compatible garden attachments and accessories.
The RT 4082 is supplied fully assembled and ready for use, making setup simple and convenient.
