Why Choose This Lawnmower:
The STIHL RM253T Lawnmower combines strong petrol performance with the convenience of self-propelled drive, making it ideal for maintaining larger lawns with less effort. Its wide cutting width, durable build and effective grass collection deliver reliable, high-quality results. Backed by STIHL’s trusted engineering, it’s a dependable choice for homeowners who want efficient, comfortable lawn mowing.
The STIHL RM253T is a quality mower at a reasonable price from STIHL's 2-Series range of lawnmowers.
You wouldn't want to push a mower of this size so a self propelled drive system takes the effort out of propelling the mower around your garden. The four wheel design of this mower makes it very manoeuvrable in tight areas and the large wheels help it to glide over rougher areas.
Power is provided by a reliable STIHL engine. The 20” (51cm) high lift blade ensures that the grass is cut cleanly and that the clippings are collected in the collection box. A box-full indicator signals the time to stop and empty and, thanks to the hinged collector lid, emptying the box is very easy.
A single point height of cut adjustment lever gives a height of cut range of 25 to 75mm with seven different settings.
When the mowing is finished, the handle folds for easy storage.

Grass Collector Full Indicator
When air is flowing freely through the grass collector, the indicator will rise. When the indicator drops, airflow has been lost indicating that the collector is full.
