The STIHL RM 248.3 is a straightforward and efficient petrol lawn mower with an 18-inch cut, perfect for homeowners with small to medium-sized lawns. Its easy-start engine and versatile mowing options make it an ideal entry-level choice.
The STIHL RM 248.3 is a petrol push-along lawn mower specifically designed for entry-level users and homeowners looking to maintain small to medium-sized lawns. As part of STIHL’s 2 Series range, it combines robust construction with user-friendly features, making it an excellent choice for achieving a pristine garden finish. With a generous 46 cm (18″) cutting width and a powerful STIHL EVC 205 engine, it is capable of tackling lawns up to 1200 m².
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.
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.
