STIHL RM 248 petrol lawn mower, 46 cm

If you want a neat lawn without fuss, the STIHL RM 248 helps you get it done quickly. Its 46 cm cutting width, easy-start engine and central height adjustment make routine mowing on medium-sized lawns feel straightforward and controlled.

Prefer collecting clippings, side-discharging or mulching to feed the grass? The RM 248 comes ready with a multi-blade, mulching insert, side discharge and a 52 L catcher with fill indicator, so you choose what suits the job each time.

Where it shines

• Weekly maintenance of medium lawns up to 1,200 m²
• Mulching during dry spells to return nutrients
• Quick tidy-ups where side discharge saves time
• Clean finishes around paths and patios with the catcher

Why it makes mowing easier

• Quick, reliable starting thanks to the light-start system
• One-lever, 7-step height adjustment from 20–100 mm
• 52 L foldable catcher with fill-level indicator
• Comfort wheels and a soft, height-adjustable mono handlebar

In everyday use

The smooth-running wheels track straight and feel stable, even on slightly uneven ground. Quick-Fix clamps fold the handle in seconds for transport or storage. The soft-grip handle damps vibration, and the foldable catcher opens wide so you can empty it without wrestling.

Advice from gardenmachineshop.com

Mulch when the grass is dry and only take off a third of the blade height—this gives the neatest finish and avoids clumping.
