About this product

The STIHL RM 655 VS is a gas-powered, self-propelled mower sized for lawns up to about 0.6 acres, pairing a 173cc engine with a Vario wheel-drive system that lets you adjust ground speed to suit the job.

Vario gear-drive

A Vario drive wheel lets you turn a control to shift ground speed across a range of settings, giving a simpler, mechanical alternative to a hydrostatic transmission while still letting you match pace to conditions.

Blade-brake clutch

The blade-brake clutch decouples the blade from the running engine, so you can pause cutting to move around an obstacle or empty the catcher without shutting the engine off.

Multi-blade mulching system

A multi-blade cutting system handles both clean bagging and fine mulching, cutting clippings small enough to leave behind as lawn feed when you skip the catcher.

Frequently asked questions

What fuel and oil does it use?

It runs on regular unleaded gasoline with 4-stroke engine oil per STIHL's specification; check the oil level before each use as with any gas mower.

How does the Vario drive work?

A dial on the drive wheel adjusts ground speed mechanically across its range, giving a lighter-weight, simpler alternative to a hydrostatic transmission for matching pace to the job at hand.

How is this different from the RM 655 YS?

The RM 655 VS uses a Vario gear-drive for speed adjustment, while the RM 655 YS uses a hydrostatic transmission for stepless control; both share the same 173cc engine and 53cm cutting width but carry separate STIHL part numbers as distinct models.
