All new Stihl RM655 gas powered walk behind mower

[@TrentCantrell]

That height adjustment got my attention. Being able to sit it upright for blade changes is nice as well.

[@kopetskysaceyankton8767]

The height adjustment is simply the best height adjustment system I have seen on a walk behind mower. Being spring loaded makes it effortless even though the mower is relatively heavy. it is a very well designed machine.

Nice review,i have the stihl rm655rs mower with the rear roller,its a joy to use,it is so well built and starts first time every time and it leaves a very nice stripe too,stihl make great machines,what weight is this machine please?

[@kopetskysaceyankton8767]

They are certainly very well built units, Stihl lists the weight as 101.4 lbs., thanks for the view and the comment.

[@chrisg6091]

Good no nonsense presentation.

[@kopetskysaceyankton8767]

thank you!

[@chuckgladfelter]

What if you don't want to bag or mulch? Is there a discharge chute?

[@231mac]

There is

[@barpatron]

Great presentation! How much do they run now?

[@kopetskysaceyankton8767]

i generally don't like post pricing on KZbin as pricing does change and it get difficult to ensure it stays up to date but the Stihl push mowers start just under $1,000 in the United States and go up from there. Be sure to check with your local Stihl dealer for the most current and up to date pricing information.

Holy shit!! What a rip off!!

These look great. When my Honda ever dies, since Hondas going to stop making gas mowers, this will probably be my next mower. I like Honda & Kawasaki engines the best, with Kohler 2nd, but don’t like Briggs

[@OliverDiGeronimo009]

Me too.

[@kopetskysaceyankton8767]

These mowers are truly impressive in thier design and build quality. Certainly with Honda leaving the gas walk behind space, there is room for a premium offering like this from Stihl. The Kohler motors are solid units with great performance and durability. I don't think you will be disappointed.

A Toro Super Recycler with a Honda would be a nice option. I'm looking for something with an aluminum deck and good engine. There are not many options.

I want one. Know anyone who needs a kidney?

No kidney is needed! I'm picking mine up tomorrow!

@@OliverDiGeronimo009 did it end up costing an arm or a leg? Or both? :)

[@melvinjacobs2328]

$1000.00 is a deal breaker for me. I love Stihl but this isn't for me. I can get a real good mower for half of that.

[@josephhettiger2711]

@@melvinjacobs2328 I've never heard anything good about the Toro. I have 2 Husqvarna 600c commercial 21's with Robin Subaru eh18v engines a snapper commercial 21 with Kawasaki FJ 180v and a Gravely 21 commercial with a Kawasaki Fj180v Kai. The Husqvarna mowers were built by Ariens back in 04 and are identical to my Gravely. The gravely is the newest mower of the bunch.

[@Onlyasurferknowsdafeeling]

Anything oil burning brigs and Stratton is nothing but junk, instead of Toro they should call em cows

[@kopetskysaceyankton8767]

These Stihl mowers are more of a competitor for the Toro Super Recycler not the Toro Recycler.

[@troybilt6752]

It's a shame that Stihl has thrown there dealers under the bus and started selling at retailer stores. Does Ace and the other stores carry parts...No. Does Ace have trained mechanics to fix equipment ...No. Buy from Stihl dealers that have your back when thing don't work or expect to pay double the shop fees for bringing in Ace sold equipment.

[@kopetskysaceyankton8767]

While I can’t speak for all Ace stores or other retailers, I can tell you that my Ace store does stock parts and has a full Stihl small engine shop in house with Stihl trained and certified mechanics. I agree that buyers should consider making their purchases from serving dealers.

[@troybilt6752]

Well that blows my mind. I have never seen an Ace with anything close to that. Thanks for letting me know that's a thing. @@kopetskysaceyankton8767

@@kopetskysaceyankton8767 tell’em! Not sure why a Stihl dealer would charge double b/c it was purchased at ACE. Given his user name is Troybilt, just a troll

Troll. Go on with your Troybilt. Stop picking on ACE.
