Product details

The Stihl RM 253 lawn mower from model year 2024 is a robust and reliable gardening tool designed for efficient lawn maintenance. This petrol-powered mower features a cutting width of 46 cm, providing optimal coverage for medium to large garden areas. The unit is equipped with a durable 4-stroke engine that delivers consistent performance while maintaining fuel efficiency. With a cutting height adjustable between 25 mm and 75 mm, users can customize the grass length according to their preferences. The RM 253 includes a 60 L grass collection bag, reducing the frequency of emptying during operation. The mower weighs 29 kg, making it manageable for most users while maintaining stability during use. It features a robust steel deck construction that resists corrosion and impact damage. The ergonomic handlebar with adjustable height settings ensures comfortable operation for users of different statures. The single-lever height adjustment system allows quick changes to cutting settings without tools. Safety features include a blade brake clutch that stops the cutting blade within seconds when the handle is released. The mower operates at a noise level of approximately 96 dB, which is typical for petrol-powered garden equipment. Maintenance is straightforward with accessible air filters and easy oil drainage points. The RM 253 is designed for residential use on lawns up to 1000 m². It requires standard unleaded petrol and standard engine oil for operation. The product dimensions are 85 cm in length, 50 cm in width, and 45 cm in height when stored. This model represents the continued development of Stihl's lawn care equipment line, building upon previous designs with refined engineering and user-focused improvements.
