RM 253 T Self-Propelled Petrol 4 in 1 Lawn Mower by STIHL

Powerful 53cm single speed self-propelled petrol lawn mower

The Stihl RM 253 T is a powerful self-propelled petrol 4 in 1 Lawn Mower that can cut, collect, drop, side discharge, or mulch your grass. This highly effective model has a generous cutting width of 51cm / 21" and features a spacious grass box with a 55 litre capacity, making it the ideal lawn mower for medium sized lawns. The grass box features a bag full indicator to alert you when it’s time to empty the bag to prevent it from becoming over full and clogged up. 

The Stihl RMA 253 T cordless lawn mower is versatile and hard working. Designed for lawns up to 1800m² in size it features a generous 51cm cutting width. You will  have the ultimate control as you work which makes this model ideal for when you need to mow close up to objects or against flower beds and borders with vastly reduced chances of any damage. 

You can choose from collecting the grass in the generously sized 55 litre grass box with an enhanced fill level indicator that lets you know when the box needs to be emptied. Or you can opt to drop the grass or discharge it. Dropping it is of course faster and discharging it means it will be shredded first, leaving neat deposits on your lawn. If you choose to mulch then you will be returning vital nutrients back to your lawn and the mulched grass will disappear quickly leaving your grass with the chance to grow green and lush. 

The mono-handlebar is both comfortable and easily controllable and it's also lockable and foldable making it easy to store away. The 55 litre grass box is also easy to empty thanks to the easy opening system. A smooth operation is assured thanks to the double ball bearing-mounted wheels and these wheels will also treat your lawn with respect. 

You can alter the cutting height to suit the needs of your grass and ensure a nice neat finish. The single-point height adjustment is easy to use and allows you to set the cutting heights in designated stages that range from a very low 20 mm right up to 100 mm for when your grass has grown a bit longer than usual. A traction and directional stability tread pattern allows you to mow in straight lines whilst respecting and caring for your grass. Thanks to the Quick-Start innovative spring start system there is no need for a recoil starter rope and on stopping, the spring is wound up again and ready for the next time you need to start it. 

You’ll love the functionality and convenience of this Stihl RM 253 T cordless lawn mower. It's a breeze to operate and is powerful and reliable. Thanks to the lack of a petrol engine you can work in comfort, free from fumes, noise and there’s no heavy vibrating petrol engine. There are no wires to trip you up and you won’t need to work near a source of power such as you would with an electric model. 

The RM 253 T comes with a 5 year extended domestic warranty (subject to registration and annual servicing).

Stihl RM 253 T Lawn Mower features:

  • Self-propelled - Self-propelled STIHL lawn mowers take the effort out of lawn mowing. The drive mechanism propels the mower without it physically having to be pushed. This makes working easier, especially on large lawns and inclines.
  • 4-in-1 Mowing system: Cut & collect, drop, side discharge, mulching.
  • Innovative grass catcher box - Clippings and dust are prevented from escaping upwards and contaminating the mower owing to the downward-facing air vents and closed catcher box lid. The machine is exposed to less dirt. The integrated level indicator shows when it is time to empty the grass catcher box. The two part catcher box design ensures easy opening and emptying.
  • Central cutting height adjustment - The cutting height for the lawn can be precisely adjusted using a practical handle on the side of the housing. The selected cutting height can be read off via a window in front of the handle.
  • Polymer housing - The housing is made of high impact, lightweight, heat and UV resistant polymer.
  • Integral level indicator - A level indicator is integrated in the grass catcher box of all Stihl rear discharge mowers. It signals when the box should be emptied.
  • Highlift blade - The highlift blade generates a strong air current in the aerodynamic housing, which makes the grass stand upright before cutting and conveys the clippings into the grass catcher box using an integrated air flow system. A good cutting pattern and good cutting and collecting performance are guaranteed.
  • Easy-running wheels - The wheels, with double ball bearings, are extremely robust and hard-wearing. The robust driving wheels are equipped with a traction and directional stability tread pattern.
  • Quick-Start - Innovative spring start system as an alternative to the conventional electric start. By triggering a spring system, the engine starts automatically (without the need to pull a recoil starter rope). On stopping, the spring is wound up again and is ready for the next start.

Stihl

The Stihl Group develop, manufacture and distribute their power tools for professional forestry workers as well as garden and landscape maintenance. Andreas Stihl was just one man with a vision when he first founded his company in 1926. Over 80 years later Stihl now employ over 12,000 people and have over 35,000 dealers in over 160 countries.

In 1992 Stihl acquired the garden equipment manufacturer Viking. They were based in the Austrian Tyrol and under the leadership of Dr Nikolas Stihl (Grandson of the group founder), they expanded rapidly.

In the 2000’s Stihls fantastic innovation carries on, introducing the multi-tool concept that is currently known today as the KombiSystem. It wasn’t until 2009 that Stihl decided to enter the cordless power tool market. They released two standard setting hedge trimmers which were praised by an array of gardeners.

Stihl’s innovation has lead to a number of key features being produced. Such as automatic chain oiling, centrifugal clutch, Ematic system, ElastoStart system, 4-mix technology, Ergo Start and Anti-vibration systems all within their products.

The Stihl name has stood for revolutionary technology and innovative ideas ever since the firm was founded. Stihl garden machinery is regarded as probably the number 1 brand in the world today. The Stihl name is known round the world today for quality, innovation and service and in more than 160 countries their products are helping people at work. From the incredible chainsaw range to the flexible KombiSystem and quiet and powerful leaf blowers, you will find a Stihl garden machine to suit you.

And if that's not enough, all Stihl machines come with a 2 year warranty for peace of mind (3 years for the pressure washers).
