RM 650 VS
Petrol lawn mower with Vario wheel drive, blade brake clutch, 48 cm cutting width and 70 l grass box for large gardens.
Product description
Thanks to its high build quality and many technical features, the STIHL RM 650 VS petrol lawn mower is ideal for efficiently mowing your private garden of up to 2,000 m². The 48 cm cutting width and central cutting height adjustment let you work quickly and adapt perfectly to the ground. As well as the practical Vario wheel drive, the petrol mower has a blade brake clutch. This decouples the blade from the engine and protects the crankshaft. The mower can even be driven to another location without the blade turning, and you can empty the grass box without restarting the engine. The aluminium housing with side scuff strips is also sturdy and robust.
