Description
The STIHL RM 448 T Petrol Lawn Mower is designed for homeowners looking for a reliable, easy-to-use self-propelled mower that delivers excellent cutting performance on medium-sized lawns. Suitable for gardens up to 1,200m², it combines a powerful STIHL engine with comfortable operation, durable construction and practical features to make regular lawn maintenance quicker and less physically demanding.
Power comes from the dependable STIHL EVC 300.1 four-stroke petrol engine. With a displacement of 166cc and a rated output of 2.6kW, this engine delivers strong, consistent performance for tackling thick grass while remaining fuel efficient and easy to start. Designed specifically for domestic lawn care, it provides the reliability and durability expected from STIHL machinery, making it ideal for regular use throughout the mowing season.
The 46cm cutting deck provides an excellent balance between productivity and manoeuvrability, allowing you to mow larger lawns efficiently while still working comfortably around trees, flower beds and garden features. Built from a durable polymer housing, the deck is lightweight, corrosion resistant and highly impact resistant, helping to ensure years of dependable performance.
A centrally mounted cutting height adjustment system makes it quick and simple to choose the ideal finish for your lawn. With multiple cutting height positions ranging from 20mm to 100mm, the RM 448 T can easily adapt to changing grass growth throughout the year, whether you’re maintaining a closely cut summer lawn or giving longer grass its first cut of the season.
The self-propelled drive system operates at a comfortable fixed speed of 3.5km/h, taking much of the effort out of mowing larger gardens. Instead of pushing the mower across the lawn, the drive assists your movement, reducing fatigue and allowing you to work more comfortably, particularly on gentle slopes or uneven ground.
Grass clippings are collected in the spacious 52-litre grass catcher box, designed with airflow management to maximise collection efficiency. The integrated fill-level indicator clearly shows when the collector needs emptying, helping reduce unnecessary stops while preventing overfilling. The collector also opens easily for quick emptying before returning to work.
Operator comfort is another highlight of the RM 448 T. The height-adjustable handlebar allows you to find a comfortable working position, reducing strain during longer mowing sessions. Soft-grip surfaces improve handling while the foldable handlebar makes transporting and storing the mower straightforward, especially where storage space is limited. STIHL’s QuickFix system allows the handlebars to fold quickly without tools.
The RM 448 T can also be adapted to suit different mowing preferences. An optional mulching kit is available, allowing grass clippings to be finely shredded and returned to the lawn as a natural fertiliser. This helps improve lawn health while reducing garden waste and the need to empty the collector as frequently during regular mowing.
The STIHL RM 448 T Petrol Lawn Mower is an excellent choice for homeowners seeking a dependable self-propelled petrol mower for medium-sized gardens. Featuring a powerful 166cc STIHL EVC 300.1 engine, a durable 46cm cutting deck, single-speed self-propelled drive and a practical 52-litre grass collector, the STIHL RM 448 T delivers reliable performance, excellent cutting quality and the durability that makes STIHL one of the UK’s most trusted garden machinery brands.
