Stihl RM 655 RS 53cm Petrol Self-propelled lawn mower with high comfort and lawn roller

Easy start engine (ReadyStart)

Thanks to the ReadyStart technology, the engine of the STIHL petrol lawn mower can be reliably started up with minimal effort both during cold and warm starting

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

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

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

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 Clutch (BBC)

The blade brake clutch disengages the blade and engine to protect the crankshaft. It makes it possible for the grass catcher box to be emptied without restarting the engine. Further comfort feature: The machine can be moved using the self-propulsion with the blade stopped.

Super soft grip

Particularly ergonomic and pleasant handling is ensured by the super-soft grip of the STIHL lawn mower.

Mono-comfort handlebar

The foldable mono-comfort handlebar provides for easy handling during mowing and removal of the grass catcher box. Moreover, the STIHL lawn mower can be stored and transported in a space-saving manner. The handlebar can be adapted to your body height without using tools and ensures ergonomic working

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

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.
