STIHL Lawn Mower RM 650 V – Petrol, 48 cm, Vario Drive

If you want a fast, clean cut on larger lawns without fuss, the STIHL RM 650 V delivers. Its 48 cm deck covers ground quickly, while vario wheel drive lets you set a comfortable walking speed without the engine revs dropping. Switch to mulching with the supplied kit and you fertilise the lawn as you mow—no blade change needed.

The robust aluminium deck, easy-start Kohler engine and a 70 l foldable catcher make weekly mowing straightforward. A height-adjustable mono handlebar and soft grip reduce strain and make emptying the box simple.

Advice from gardenmachineshop.com

When switching to mulching, raise the cutting height one step compared to collecting—this improves airflow and gives a cleaner, even finish.
