Description
The STIHL RM 655.1 VS Petrol Lawn Mower is a high-performance machine engineered for demanding homeowners, landscapers and professional users maintaining large lawns up to 2,500m². Combining exceptional build quality with advanced mowing technology, the RM 655.1 VS delivers outstanding cutting performance, effortless handling and maximum efficiency, making it the ideal choice for those who expect professional results every time.
Powering the RM 655.1 VS is the dependable 173cc HD775 OHV four-stroke petrol engine. Designed for reliability and consistent performance, the engine features STIHL’s Easy-Start system, allowing quick and effortless starting with minimal pulling force. The powerful engine delivers smooth operation while maintaining excellent cutting performance, even when working through longer or denser grass.
The wide 53cm cutting deck allows you to mow large areas efficiently, reducing the number of passes required to complete the job. Manufactured from lightweight yet incredibly durable powder-coated aluminium, the deck offers outstanding resistance to corrosion, impacts and everyday wear, providing years of dependable service in demanding conditions. Seven centrally adjusted cutting heights between 25mm and 85mm allow you to achieve the perfect finish throughout the growing season.
The advanced Vario self-propelled drive system allows you to continuously adjust your ground speed between approximately 2.6km/h and 4.6km/h without affecting blade speed. This means you can comfortably match the mower’s pace to your walking speed while maintaining maximum cutting performance across uneven ground, slopes or open lawns. Whether you prefer to mow slowly around borders or move quickly across larger spaces, the RM 655.1 VS adapts effortlessly to your working style.
A key feature of the RM 655.1 VS is the integrated blade brake clutch. This system allows the engine to continue running while stopping the blade from rotating, making it quick and safe to empty the grass collector, move across gravel paths or pause mowing without restarting the engine. It also helps protect the crankshaft from unnecessary wear while improving overall productivity during longer mowing sessions.
The innovative STIHL multi-blade system provides exceptional versatility, allowing you to collect, mulch or rear discharge grass clippings without changing the blade. When mulching, grass is finely shredded and evenly distributed back onto the lawn, naturally returning valuable nutrients to the soil and helping promote healthier grass growth while reducing garden waste.
A generous 70-litre grass collection box features a practical fill-level indicator that lets you know when it is ready to be emptied. STIHL’s optimised airflow system packs clippings tightly into the collector for maximum capacity, reducing interruptions while mowing. The side ventilation slats direct air towards the ground, helping minimise dust and debris during operation.
Designed for maximum operator comfort, the RM 655.1 VS features a height-adjustable mono comfort handlebar with a super-soft grip that absorbs vibration and reduces fatigue. The single-sided handlebar design provides unrestricted access to the grass collector, making removal and emptying quick and convenient. The handlebar also folds down easily for compact storage and transport. Smooth-running wheels provide excellent traction, stability and manoeuvrability on a variety of lawn surfaces.
The STIHL RM 655.1 VS Petrol Lawn Mower is the ideal choice for homeowners and professionals looking for a premium self-propelled petrol lawn mower with variable speed drive, blade brake clutch, a durable aluminium deck and outstanding mowing versatility. Whether you’re maintaining large domestic gardens, landscaped grounds or commercial green spaces, the STIHL RM 655.1 VS delivers exceptional cutting quality, effortless operation and the renowned reliability that makes STIHL one of the most trusted names in garden machinery.
