Stihl RM 655 V 21″ Self-Propelled Lawnmower

STIHL RM 655 V: The Indestructible Aluminium-Deck Workhorse

Engineered for those who demand a “buy it once” solution for large-scale domestic or light commercial maintenance, the STIHL RM 655 V is a masterpiece of durability and speed. While most high-end mowers resort to plastic or thin steel, the RM 655 V features a professional-grade cast aluminium housing that is completely immune to rust and fuel corrosion, backed by lateral skirting protectors for accidental wall-scuffs. This self-propelled powerhouse is driven by the high-torque Kohler HD775 OHV SC engine, utilizing Vario Drive technology to allow for infinite speed adjustment ($2.6\text{–}4.6\text{ km/h}$) without affecting blade RPM. This ensures that whether you are sprinting across a flat lawn or creeping through dense, ankle-high grass, the cutting finish remains perfectly surgical. With its 3-in-1 multi-blade system, you can switch between high-volume collection and nutrient-rich mulching without ever needing to swap a blade.

• Ultra-Resilient Die-Cast Aluminium Chassis: The “gold standard” of mower decks. It offers the heat-dissipation and strength of a commercial machine while remaining light enough for effortless zero-turn maneuvering around flowerbeds.

• Synchronized Vario-Speed Drive: Unlike standard self-propelled mowers that lose cutting power when you slow down, the RM 655 V maintains a constant engine speed. You control the pace; the mower handles the power.

• “Air-Flow” Mono-Comfort Handlebar: Mounted on only one side, this heavy-duty bar gives you 100% unobstructed access to the grass box. No more “reaching through” the frame—just unclip, empty, and click back in.

• 3-in-1 Multi-Blade System (Standard): Most mowers require a specialized “mulching blade” for a good finish. The RM 655 V features a uniquely stepped blade that shreds grass into “dust” for mulching or creates high-velocity lift for packing the 70-litre collector to absolute capacity.

• Anti-Vibration “Super-Soft” Grip: Housed on a spring-loaded mounting system, the handle absorbs the high-frequency vibrations from the 173cc Kohler engine, allowing for hours of use without “tingling” hands.

• Replaceable Side Skirting Protectors: Built for longevity, the side of the deck features replaceable plastic guards. If you scuff the mower against a stone wall, you simply replace the guard rather than damaging the expensive aluminium deck.

• Dual-Bearing Smooth-Running Wheels: Every wheel is fitted with high-quality double ball bearings and a “traction-tread” pattern, ensuring the mower holds a perfectly straight line on slopes without “crabbing” or slipping.
