STIHL RM 248.3 EVO Petrol Lawn Mower

The STIHL RM 248 is a super choice of petrol lawn mower for those who enjoy taking pride in a well-kept garden. With a stylish design and clever features packed into a compact frame, it is ideal for tackling lawns up to 1,200m². Lightweight, versatile and intuitive to use, this machine offers four different types of mowing to deliver outstanding results, on any type of lawn.

Efficient Engine Performance

At the heart of the STIHL Lawn Mower RM 248 is an EVC 205 engine, delivering a punchy 2.4 hp (1.8 kW) of power. Thanks to STIHL’s easy-start system, getting up and running is a breeze – even after long periods of inactivity. The 127 cm³ engine displacement helps demonstrate the machine’s powerful performance and excellent fuel efficiency.

Accurate Cutting and Good Coverage

The STIHL RM 248 Petrol Lawn Mower 46cm has a generous cutting width of 18 inches, making it ideal for small to medium-sized lawns. A single lever allows you to alter the cutting height between 2 cm and 10 cm, so you can easily adapt to seasonal conditions and your own personal preferences. The height setting is clearly displayed and can be changed in seconds.

Four Mowing Modes to Suit Your Garden

Unlike more basic models, the STIHL 248 Mower gives you four flexible mowing options:

• Cut and collect: Gather clippings neatly into the catcher box.
• Cut and drop: Simply remove the collector and let the grass fall.
• Side discharge: Redirect clippings to the side with the flap.
• Mulching: Use the multi-blade and mulch kit to finely chop the grass and return it to the lawn as mulch.

So, whatever your lawn’s condition, there’s a setting to match.

Tough Materials for a Durable Build

The STIHL RM 248 lawn mower is built to last. Its steel deck is covered by a strong polymer housing that resists both UV damage and petrol spills. This means your mower will stay looking good and performing well season after season.

Ergonomic Features for Effortless Use

Comfort is key to happy mowing, and STIHL certainly hasn’t overlooked this fact. The mower’s adjustable mono handlebar features a super-soft grip, which not only absorbs vibrations but can also be adjusted to suit your height. This makes mowing less tiring and more enjoyable, especially on longer sessions.

Smooth and Stable Movement

Manoeuvring the STIHL RM 248 Petrol Lawn Mower is straightforward, even in tight spots. The smooth-running wheels are built for stability and grip. With front wheels measuring 18 cm and rear wheels 20 cm in diameter, turning and guiding the mower feels natural and controlled.

Generous 52-Litre Collector Box

Thanks to a spacious 52-litre grass catcher, you can mow for longer without frequent stops. STIHL’s airstream system compresses clippings efficiently so the box fills to capacity. Clever side slats direct airflow downward, preventing unwanted dust or debris from blowing upwards, towards your face.

A visible indicator tells you when it’s time to empty the collector box, with the folding lid making this a quick, clean task.

Designed for Compact Storage

Once you’re done, the STIHL RM 248 Petrol Lawn Mower’s quick-release mechanism lets you collapse the handlebar without tools. This space-saving feature is ideal for storing the mower in sheds or garages with limited room.

Long Warranty for Extra Confidence

STIHL is a highly trusted name in outdoor tools, and their mowers are no exception. The STIHL RM 248 Petrol Lawn Mower comes with a generous 5-year warranty for domestic use, while the handlebar carries its own 10-year warranty. For commercial use, warranties reduce to 3 months for the mower and 5 years for the handlebar.
