RM 655 petrol lawn mower: precise cutting thanks to multi-blade

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

    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

    FLEXIBLE MOWING AND MULCHING. The multi-blade allows you to mow and mulch without changing the blade. The specially shaped blades shred the cut grass. Then you decide whether the grass should be transported into the collection box via air flow, or further shredded and distributed evenly over the green area to become a nutrient-rich 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

    BLADE-BRAKE COUPLING

    • STIHL Smart Connector Zoom
      STIHL Smart Connector

      The STIHL Smart Connector forms the basis for using all STIHL connected functions. These functions can be used via both the STIHL connected App and the STIHL connect Portal. Once correctly attached to a STIHL power tool or another manufacturer’s power tool, the STIHL Smart Connector records operational hours while the machine is running, stores them and transmits them to your smartphone via Bluetooth as soon as it is within range. The data received in the STIHL connected App is transferred to the STIHL Cloud when there is an internet connection. The data is stored there in compliance with data protection regulations. The STIHL connected App and STIHL connected Portal allow you to access your power tool data at any time. STIHL connected opens up new avenues for professional users to obtain a convenient and transparent overview of their own power tool fleet. At the same time, STIHL connected provides information including operational hours, power tool status including reminders of overdue maintenance, the last known location, and whether or not the power tools are currently nearby. For professional users, this means improved digital fleet management, more efficient processes within companies, and even closer contact with STIHL dealers. Private users can also use the system to keep an eye on their power tools and carry out maintenance at the right time.
