    Stihl RM 655 RS Review
    Stihl asked me if I would like to review the RM 655 RS, the mower is gifted to me, I would like to state, that I am not paid or sponsored by Stihl.
    I've enjoyed using the mower and the review is my honest opinion, in general I found it to be a very good mower. for more details on the mower.

    Bit pricey for me, I could get 2 Hayter 41 pros for the same money.

      Yes, not the cheapest mower, but it's a 21", so probably in line with other pro mowers of same size, thanks for watching mate 👍

    I bought one of these and like the engine as seems to cope well , the handlebars tend to come loose but easily nipped up with an Allen key .... if you lessen your grip the cutter engage snaps off which I find abrupt sometimes..... does leave a nice finish but as you say the height could be a bit better as 2 cuts a bit high ... I’d say the Honda HRD has a better height setting .. not tried any more recently... as for wet grass I’ve never known any mower cut well without blocking up and I try to avoid it now even though it can throw the diary 📔 out of sync 😀...... great video as usual 👍

    I find it doesn't like moss slows it down loads. The roller seems weak sometimes. cuts well in wet as you say.

    Nice review👍 I’ve got the new hayter 56 pro, it’s approaching 60kg!! However it’s very manoeuvrable in use, barely notice the weight tbh. I suppose lifting it would be the only issue 🤷‍♂️

  • @scottellwoodgardening287
    @scottellwoodgardening287 4 года назад +1

    Great review Jason. They are a heavy machine to lift around on your own. I have the battery stihl mower coming next week to test out.

    • @jasongardener3425
      @jasongardener3425  4 года назад +1

      Battery mower cool 👌👍, let us know how you get on with it, yes heavy, but I would never personally lift a mower these days, ramps in/out van, on the grass the weight, is no problem and very manoeuvrable.
      Take care mate 👍

    Really enjoyed the review Jason. I like the look of the box spout, looks to catch really well. The handle on the side of the collector looks well though about.

      The signal handle is great, no more throwing the bag underneath the handles and then having to reach through I other mowers.

    Thanks for the review Jason. Always good to hear your honest comments as a professional. Out of interest how long was the grass on the wet cut and are there better machines for cutting in the wet? Cheers

    • @jasongardener3425
      @jasongardener3425  4 года назад

      Thank you🙂.
      The bit in the video, was 2 weeks growth and weedy too, plus 24 hours of rain, so was for me the extreme I would cut grass.
      I really couldn't say what's the best wet mower.
      Take care mate 👍

    nearly bought one of these at the beginning of the season, they do cut high, I used one last year (cause of the infamous argument) I like the stihls plastic box, I now have the 448 to replace my old viking, great little mower in the wet.

    @jasonhewlett1283 4 года назад +1

    Good review Jason, my Viking/Stihl 4 wheel mower has many of the same features as yours. Just wish the box could empty the conventional way some how as tipping into smaller bags is a pain.

    • @jasongardener3425
      @jasongardener3425  4 года назад +1

      Thanks mate, yes to tip out normal way, you do have to jiggle a bit, great box if going in to barrow/heep or big ton bag, but for smaller bags a pain.

    Enjoyed the video Jason, thank you. The Viking mowers always had an issue with the cut length too, it was the same story where in between level 2 and 3 was the sweet spot. Hopefully that'll be addressed by Stihl soon.

    Great review, just got a Honda hrx 476qy with the new Honda gcv 170engine. Such a bad buy, the engine rattles when warmed up, has been back to dealer and engine and clutch replaced, but still is a problem. Have now asked for a refund and was thinking of this stihl model. Have used 476s for 30 years and never a problem, this new one is a lemon. This review came at the right time.
