RM 655 VS
Petrol lawn mower with Vario wheel drive, blade brake clutch, 53 cm cutting width and 70 l grass box for large lawns.
Product description
The STIHL RM 655 VS petrol lawn mower is a real powerhouse – and not just because of its durable aluminium housing. With its Vario drive and 53 cm cutting width, it is ideal for maintaining large areas of up to 2,500 m². The central seven-position height adjustment lets you choose a lawn height from 25 to 85 mm. As well as its practical Vario wheel drive for infinitely variable mowing speed, the powerful RM 655 VS has a blade brake clutch. This decouples the blade from the engine and also protects the crankshaft. So you can take short breaks at any time, for example to empty the grass box, without having to restart the engine. You can also drive the mower to another location without the blade turning.
