Petrol lawn mower with blade brake clutch

General

RM 655 VS

The STIHL RM 655 VS petrol lawn mower is not only a real powerhouse owing to its durable aluminium housing. With its Vario self-propulsion and a cutting width of 53 cm, it is predestined for mowing large lawns. The central seven-setting cutting height adjustment enables selection of the cutting height from 25 to 85 mm. To facilitate work from the very outset, its engine is equipped with the ReadyStart function, which ensures reliable starting. During lawn mowing, the speed of the powerful engine always remains constant, even during changes in the propulsion speed, and the mono-comfort handlebar ensures easy handling. Also worthy of mention is the blade brake clutch of the RM 655 VS, via which the mowing deck is disengaged with the engine running so that short breaks during mowing do not require restarting the mower. The fold-open grass catcher box with a volume of 70 litres and level indicator is easy to empty. With this petrol lawn mower, you opt for a reliable companion during gardening work.

  • Mulching function Zoom
    Mulching function

    During mulching, the mulching blade shreds the mown grass before it falls back into the turf as a nutritional fertiliser. And with the appropriate mulching kit available as an optional accessory for this lawn mower, the machine can also be converted into a Multi-mower.

  • Multi-blade Zoom
    Multi-blade

    Thanks to the specially shaped cutting blades, the multi-blade of the STIHL petrol lawn mower shreds the mown grass. When using the grass catcher box, it is then efficiently conveyed in the box. During mulch mowing, the mown grass is directly ejected onto the lawn so that it falls back onto the turf as a nutritional fertiliser.

  • Fold-open grass catcher box with level indicator Zoom
    Fold-open grass catcher box with level indicator

    The plastic grass catcher box can be easily opened and emptied thanks to its folding mechanism. The current of air produced during mowing blows the clippings into the grass catcher box and ensures a high degree of filling. Thanks to the downward-facing vanes, the air is guided sideways towards the ground, preventing dirt from being thrown up. The level indicator signals the correct time for emptying. The airflow generated by the blade raises the level indicator. When the basket is full, the airflow stops. If the airflow is too low, the level indicator returns to its idle state and this is an indication to empty the catcher box. Optimal airflow is required in order for the level indicator to function fully. External influences such as wet, dense or tall grass, a low cutting height, contamination, etc. may affect the airflow and the performance of the level indicator.

  • Easy-running wheels Zoom
