RM 650 VS petrol-driven lawn mower: blade-brake coupling for high flexibility

General

RM 650 VS

The STIHL RM 650 VS petrol-driven lawn mower has Vario wheel drive. Its aluminium housing, which includes side bumpers, is also sturdy and robust. With a cutting width of 48 cm, this model is ideal for mowing larger lawns. And mowing is extremely comfortable, as the mono comfort handlebar can be adjusted to your ideal working height, with several levels available. Another special feature of the RM 650 VS petrol-driven lawn mower is the blade-brake coupling, which decouples the blade and engine to protect the crankshaft. It can be used to empty the grass collection box without restarting the engine. Another effective feature is that this power tool can be driven to another location without the blades engaged.

    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
