An extension to their AP System (professional), Stihl declares that the new lawn mowers are equivalent in performance to their respected 7 series petrol models.

The new 7 series mowers are the first to feature in STIHL’s new Double AP Platform. Drawing power from two AP batteries, the mower utilises a 72 V motor to increase the power output of the machine, resulting in a machine capable of cutting large areas of overgrown grass, with no compromise in collection quality.

With a 48cm cutting width, the RMA 750 V is the smallest of the three new models. The RMA 756 V has a larger 54cm cutting width for faster working, while the RMA 7 RV is a dedicated mulching mower with no collection bag and a cutting width of 51cm.

The mono-comfort handlebar is standard across all new models and is designed to improve access to the collection bag. The construction of the handlebar is sturdy thanks to the aluminium console and steel upper section, ensuring reliable use in tough working conditions. The handlebar is height adjustable and folds over for compact transport and storage.

All models have variable speed transmission, adjustable in five steps from 0 – 6 km/h. The gearbox is protected by a cover, preventing damage and premature wear, and the soft start feature prevents the lawn mower from jolting forward. For maximum durability, the models feature a powder coated aluminium deck with an abrasion resistant inner casing made from polymer, which is easy and inexpensive to replace.

Three mowing modes are available to the operator, depending on the terrain being cut. Eco-mode automatically reduces the RPM when under light load to maximise battery working time. Standard mode can be used for day-to-day work, and Auto-Boost can be used to overcome particularly challenges patches of dense grass and vegetation.

The power setting and drive speed can be adjusted thanks to the intuitive controls and electronic display. Other parameters such as the battery charge level and connectivity status can also be checked at a glance.
