STIHL RM 248 Petrol Lawn Mower – 46cm Push Mower

The STIHL RM 248 petrol lawn mower is an easy-to-use push-along mower designed for homeowners who want reliable performance for small to medium-sized lawns. As part of STIHL’s 2 Series petrol mower range, the RM 248 combines straightforward operation with versatile cutting options, making it an ideal entry-level choice for domestic garden maintenance.

Built around a durable sheet steel deck, the RM 248 features a 46cm (18") cutting width that balances efficient coverage with easy manoeuvrability. Power comes from the STIHL EVC 205 petrol engine, which is designed for easy starting and dependable mowing performance. On a full tank of fuel, the RM 248 can mow lawns of up to 1200 m², making it well suited to typical home gardens.

Cutting height adjustment is simple thanks to the single-point central height adjustment, which offers a wide range of settings from 20mm to 100mm. This allows you to adapt quickly to changing grass conditions throughout the season, from a shorter, tidy finish to a longer cut in warmer or drier periods.

The RM 248 offers four different mowing options without the need for additional tools. Depending on conditions and preference, you can cut and collect, cut and drop, use the integrated side discharge, or mulch using the supplied multi-blade and mulching attachment. This flexibility makes it easy to tailor the mower to your lawn and the time you have available.

Comfort and practicality are enhanced by the mono-handlebar design, which provides easy access to the 52-litre grass catcher box. The catcher includes a fill-level indicator so you know exactly when it’s time to empty. The handlebar is height adjustable and foldable, allowing for comfortable use and compact storage after mowing.
