Stihl RM 655 VS Petrol Lawn Mower

RM 655 RS Petrol Lawn Mower: 55 cm / 21.5" high-performance professional petrol lawn mower with rear roller.

The STIHL 6 Series lawn mowers are STIHL’s most premium range for gardeners who want the best mowing experience possible. With large area coverage of up to 2500 m² on the RM 655 RS, this model is built with durability and comfort in mind for large professional mowing tasks.

With a durable metal rear roller with robust drive and well-sealed bearings, there is no compromise between convenience and lawn striping quality. The body design allows for easy access and maintenance of working parts such as drive cables, pulleys and the drive belt. The optimised rear deflector flap works perfectly with the mono-comfort handle, improving access to the grass box and making emptying much easier. STIHL’s best technology comes standard on these mowers.

High lift blade for excellent cut and collection, extremely sturdy mono handlebars allow for easy emptying of the grass catcher box, and it’s also easy to adjust to suit different heights, or fold for storage without tools. There’s a simple one drive and blade brake clutch on the RM 655 RS to stop the blade but keep the engine running when emptying the box or moving between mowing areas. The aluminium deck is robust and lightweight and central cutting height adjustment and foldable handle bar make usage and storage much easier.

The RM 655 RS comes with a 1 year professional warranty (subject to registration and servicing).

Features

IMPROVE CONTROL.
With robust and durable smooth-running wheels, you can keep track of your lawn mowing easily and effortlessly. Thanks to their traction and directional stability, these smooth-running wheels can be effortlessly manoeuvred to support careful and comfortable lawn maintenance.

EASY AND RELIABLE.
Whether a cold or warm start, thanks to the engine with easy-start system, you can start your power tool easily, reliably and with minimal effort.

COMFORTABLE WORKING AND STORAGE.
The mono-comfort handlebar is only mounted on one side of the lawn mower, making it easier for you to remove the grass collection box. As the handlebar is height-adjustable, it enables you to mow your lawn comfortably and ergonomically. You can adjust it to your preferred height without using tools. As the handlebar is also foldable, the lawn mower can be compactly stored and transported.

EFFORTLESS LAWN MOWING.
The wheel drive makes mowing easier, especially on inclines and larger green areas, so you progress faster and with less effort.

RUN THE ENGINE WITHOUT BLADES.
The blade-brake coupling ensures effective crankshaft protection. You can use it to decouple the blade from the engine on your lawn mower. If, for example, you need to drive over rocky ground or stone slabs, you can use the wheel drive of the lawn mower to move the lawn mower without the blades running.

EASY EMPTYING.
Your lawn mower is equipped with a folding grass collection box to make emptying clippings very straightforward. The fill-level indicator signals the right time for emptying. An airstream ensures dense filling while mowing, so you can make optimum use of the full volume of the box. The slats on the side of the box direct the air towards the ground, which protects you from dirt being swirled up.

FOR OPTIMUM MOWER RESULTS.
You can adjust the cutting height on your lawn mower easily and in several levels. A scale shows the current height. Central cut-height adjustment allows you to optimally adapt your mowing to the conditions of the lawn.

FOR COMFORTABLE LAWN MOWING.
The ergonomic super-soft handle with its pleasant feel ensures that your arms are protected when mowing the lawn, as any vibrations are absorbed.

LIGHTWEIGHT AND VERY RESISTANT.
The aluminium housing is pleasantly lightweight and yet very stable. Its low weight makes your work easier, while the powder-coated surface ensures the housing is also protected against external influences. These properties also increase the service life and durability of the power tool.
