The R 216T AWD is an all‑wheel‑drive ride‑on mower designed for larger, challenging lawns. It combines AWD traction, articulated steering and a front‑mounted combi cutting deck (94 cm or 103 cm) to give good access, manoeuvrability and cutting versatility. Practical controls—adjustable steering wheel, pedal‑operated hydrostatic transmission and an easy‑access tilting hood—make it straightforward to operate and maintain.
Reliable traction on slopes and slippery ground
All‑wheel drive plus a pivoting rear axle and low centre of gravity deliver improved traction and a smoother ride on uneven or slippery surfaces compared with two‑wheel machines.
Versatile cutting options
Fits a 94 cm or 103 cm combi cutting deck that supports BioClip® (mulching) or rear ejection, so you can choose the best system for fine lawns or taller, coarser grass.
Excellent manoeuvrability
Unique articulated steering and four large 16‑inch wheels provide tight turning capability and easy navigation around trees, benches and other obstacles.

Key features

Pivoting rear axle
The rear axle is pivoting to get maximum traction on the drive wheels and a smooth ride also on uneven surfaces.

Adjustable steering wheel
Steering wheel height can be adjusted with a telescopic steering column for excellent ergonomics and comfort.

Hour meter
Hour meter for easy control of operating time and service and maintenance intervals.

Four large wheels
16-inch wheels both front and back provide optimal riding comfort, great accessibility and less risk of damaging delicate surfaces.

Automatic blade engagement
The blades are engaged automatically when you lower the cutting deck for a quick and smooth start of work.

Transparent fuel tank
Large, transparent fuel tank makes it easy to check the fuel level and plan your work accordingly.

Three-blade cutting deck
The three-blade cutting deck offers first-class trimming on both left and right side and gives the same uncut circle diameter regardless of direction.

Front-mounted cutting deck
Front-mounted cutting deck for excellent accessibility into corners and under bushes, park benches etc.

Pedal-operated hydrostatic transmission
Pedal-operated hydrostatic transmission – speed and direction are managed by pedals, letting you keep both hands on the steering wheel for optimal driving control.

Easy-access cutting height lever
The cutting height lever is easy to reach from the driver’s seat, making it possible to do cutting height changes while mowing.

Engine behind driver
The rear-mounted engine provides a better overview of the mowing, and less noise and emissions in the driver’s area, compared to riders with front-mounted engines.

Storage compartment
The open left storage makes it easy to access your items while mowing.

Bottle holder
Convenient bottle holder for refreshments.

External fuel cap
Thanks to the external fuel cap, you don’t have to open the engine hood when refueling. The extra wide fuel tank opening makes refueling even easier.

Combi cutting deck
The Combi cutting deck allows you to choose between two cutting systems depending on the conditions. Choose BioClip® for lawn fertilisation and rear ejection for efficient mowing on areas with higher and rougher grass.

Unique articulated steering
The articulated steering gives excellent maneuverability and facilitates driving around obstacles such as trees and bushes. Since the rear pair of wheels can swing underneath the machine, the turning radius becomes minimal at full lock.

Comfortable driver’s position
With a Rider you get safety, stability and traction on both flat grounds and hillsides. The Rider’s low gravity centre contributes to extra good traction as well as a comfortable ‘sit-in’ feeling for the user.

Combi cutting deck with BioClip® (mulching)
BioClip® (mulching) provides perhaps the best cutting result on the market on frequently cut areas. The grass is cut into fine pieces that quickly turn into fertiliser.

LED head lights
LED lights for improved visibility and enlarged lighted area in darker conditions.

Easy access
The tilting hood and easy-access servicing points make maintenance and servicing easy.

FAQs
Will this fit my machine?
Fitment can vary by model and deck size. Send us your mower model (and deck size if applicable) and we’ll confirm compatibility before you order.
Do I need any extra brackets or fitting kits?
Some accessories require a mounting kit or specific brackets depending on your machine. If you’re unsure, ask us and we’ll advise the correct setup.
Can you fit it for me?
Yes — if you’d like installation, let us know when ordering and we can arrange fitting (collection, workshop fit, or on-site depending on the product).
What cutting widths are available and can I mulch?
The Rider can be fitted with a 94 cm or 103 cm combi cutting deck. The combi deck lets you choose between BioClip® (mulching) for regular lawn fertilisation and rear ejection for higher or rougher grass.
Is the machine suitable for slopes?
Yes. The all‑wheel drive and pivoting rear axle improve traction on slopes and slippery ground. As with any ride‑on, assess surface conditions and use sensible operating practice on steep or unstable slopes.
What makes servicing straightforward?
The R 216T AWD has a tilting hood and easy‑access service points, a digital hour meter to monitor operating time, a transparent fuel tank and an external fuel cap to simplify refuelling. Routine checks such as oil (pressure lubrication with oil filter) and general maintenance are made easier by these features.
