RM 650 VE

Petrol lawn mower with Vario self-propulsion and electric start

General

The STIHL RM 650 VE petrol lawn mower combines modern technologies in one model, which starts work immediately at the press of a button thanks to an electric start function. With its Vario self-propulsion, you can also adapt the speed of the drive to the terrain and the grass to be mown. The engine speed of the powerful engine even remains stable when the propulsion speed changes. The STIHL RM 650 VE features a cutting width of 48 cm and is therefore ideal for the care of large lawns. Thanks to its versatile multi-blade, you can choose at any time whether you want to collect the grass in the fold-open grass catcher box or use the mower for mulching. The cutting height of the blade can be adjusted to the desired height between 25 and 85 cm in steps. The lawn mower's practical mono-comfort handlebar can be quickly and simply adapted to your working height. Its foldable handlebar facilitates both removal of the 70-litre grass catcher box for emptying, as well as space-saving storage of the lawn mower when work is complete.

Features

Standard equipment

  • InStart system Zoom
    InStart system

    Thanks to the convenient electric start function, the STIHL lawn mower starts up immediately when pressing the start button and holding the motorstop lever.

  • Vario self-propulsion Zoom
    Vario self-propulsion

    The Vario self-propulsion enables individual adaptation of the speed of the STIHL lawn mower to personal mowing habits and lawn conditions. The mowing speed can be infinitely varied using the control lever on the handlebar.

  • 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

    In addition to their comparably low weight, STIHL lawn mowers with aluminium housing are characterised by their high sturdiness and durability. Equally advantageous are the powder-coated surfaces, which retain their shine for a long time, unaffected by fuel and corrosion.
