SELF PROPELLED LAWN MOWER

STIHL RM 248 Petrol Lawn Mower: Effortless & Efficient Lawn Care

The STIHL RM 248 is a robust and highly efficient petrol lawn mower, meticulously designed to make lawn care easy and enjoyable for homeowners with small to medium-sized lawns (typically up to 1,200 m²). As a push-along model, it offers excellent maneuverability and control, combining STIHL's renowned engineering with practical features for a precise and effortless cut.

Features

• Powerful STIHL EVC 205 / EVC 200.1 Petrol Engine: At the heart of the RM 248 is a reliable and easy-starting STIHL EVC series 4-stroke petrol engine (e.g., EVC 205.0 or EVC 200.1 with 139 cm³ displacement and around 2.1 kW / 2.8 PS nominal output). This engine provides ample power for efficient cutting and is designed for low vibration and long service life. Some models feature a "ReadyStart" or "Easy-Start" system for quick and effortless starting.
• 46 cm (18") Cutting Width: The generous cutting width allows for efficient coverage, reducing the time spent mowing and making quick work of your lawn.
• Multi-Function Mowing System (4-in-1 Capability): The RM 248 offers exceptional versatility with four distinct mowing options, often requiring no additional tools to switch between them:
  • Cut & Collect: Utilizes the large grass catcher box for a neat and tidy finish.
  • Cut & Drop: By removing the grass catcher box, clippings are returned directly to the lawn.
  • Side Discharge: An integrated flap allows grass cuttings to be ejected out of the side of the deck, useful for longer grass.
  • Mulching: With the multi-blade and an optional or included mulching attachment, clippings are finely chopped and returned to the lawn as a natural fertilizer.
• Central Cutting Height Adjustment: Easily adjust the cutting height to achieve your desired lawn length. A spring-loaded central lever provides 7 different settings, typically ranging from 20 mm to 100 mm (or 25 mm to 75 mm depending on the exact variant), with a clear scale indicating the current height.
• High-Lift Blade: The specially designed high-lift blade creates a powerful airflow within the sturdy sheet steel deck. This air current lifts the grass upright before cutting, ensuring a precise and even cut, and efficiently conveys the clippings into the grass catcher box for optimal filling.
• Large Grass Catcher Box (52 or 55 Litres): The generous capacity of the grass catcher box means fewer interruptions for emptying. It's often made of durable plastic with a folding mechanism for easy emptying and compact storage. A fill-level indicator lets you know exactly when it's time to empty.
• Robust Sheet Steel Housing: The mower deck is constructed from torsion-resistant sheet steel, providing exceptional durability and protection against impacts and wear, ensuring a long product lifespan.
• Ergonomic Mono-Handlebar (and Foldable): Features a robust mono-handlebar design (on some models) with a super-soft grip, which not only provides comfortable operation and absorbs vibrations but also allows for exceptionally easy access to the grass catcher box for removal and emptying. The handlebar is also height-adjustable and can be quickly folded down for compact storage and transport without the need for tools.
• Smooth-Running Wheels: Equipped with large, robust, and hard-wearing wheels with a special traction pattern, ensuring effortless manoeuvring and excellent line holding while mowing, even on uneven terrain.
• Lightweight for a Petrol Mower: Despite its robust build, the RM 248 is relatively lightweight for a petrol mower (approx. 26-30 kg), making it easy to push and control.
