Versatile and Adaptable Mowing
This lawn mower offers exceptional flexibility with four different mowing methods available without the need for additional tools. You can choose to cut and collect clippings with the 52-litre grass catcher box, cut and drop by removing the box, use the integrated side discharge flap, or mulch the clippings back into the lawn using the supplied multi-blade and mulching attachment. The cutting height is easily adjusted via a single central lever, offering a wide range from 20 mm to 100 mm to suit various lawn conditions.
Designed for Comfort and Convenience
STIHL has engineered the RM 248.3 with operator comfort in mind. The ergonomic super-soft handle absorbs vibrations for a more pleasant mowing experience. The innovative comfort mono-handlebar not only provides easy access to the grass collection box but is also height-adjustable to suit any user. For compact storage, the handlebar can be folded down effortlessly using the Quick-Fix quick-release tensioners. The mower’s smooth-running wheels ensure excellent manoeuvrability and control, while the fill-level indicator on the grass box conveniently shows when it’s time to empty.
