RM 655 RS

Petrol lawn mower with high comfort and lawn roller

General

RM 655 RS

The special feature of the STIHL 655 RS petrol lawn mower is the stainless steel lawn roller on the rear axle. This smooths the mown grass in the direction of travel to create the familiar traditional striped lawn pattern. With its 53 cm cutting width and 1-speed gearing, this lawn mower is particularly well suited for large lawns. The blade brake clutch is also advantageous as it enables operation without the blade running. This means, for example, that the 70-litre grass catcher box can be emptied without switching off the engine. The height-adjustable mono-comfort handlebar of the RM 655 RS not only improves handling when mowing. Following use, the petrol lawn mower can be transported with ease and stored in a space-saving manner thanks to the foldable handlebar.

  • Rear roller Zoom
    Rear roller

    This lawn roller lends the STIHL lawn mower great stability so that even sloping lawn edges can be cut with ease and precision. When mowing, the lawn roller smooths the blades of grass in the direction of travel, creating the characteristic striped pattern on the freshly-mown lawn.

  • Self-propulsion Zoom
    Self-propulsion

    Self-propulsion on the STIHL lawn mowers provides for the desired forward momentum during mowing. This makes working easier, especially on large lawns and inclines.

  • 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

    The easy-running wheels of the STIHL lawn mowers are extremely robust and hard-wearing. They have been equipped with a traction pattern and directional stability tread pattern for effortless manoeuvring and perfect line holding during mowing.

  • BLADE-BRAKE COUPLING Zoom
    BLADE-BRAKE COUPLING

    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.

    Aluminium housing with skirting protectors.

    The STIHL lawn mowers with aluminium housing are characterised by their high sturdiness and relatively low weight. The side skirting protectors ensure particularly high durability. Equally advantageous are the powder-coated housing surfaces, which retain their shine for a long time, unaffected by fuel and corrosion.

  • Central cutting height adjustment Zoom

    The central cutting height adjustment is spring-loaded, which makes it easy to set the desired cutting height in several settings. The current height is indicated by a scale.

    • 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.
