About the STIHL RMA 448 VC Cordless Lawnmower (Shell Only)

A cordless lawnmower with variable speed drive

The RMA 448 VC is an improved version of the now redundant RMA 448 TC model. It is a powerful cordless lawnmower with a 46 cm/18 inch working width ideally suited to larger lawns and professional applications, with variable speed drive for prolonged comfortable operation. Powered by STIHL’s professional AP series, the recommended AP 300 battery provides up to 400 m2 coverage per full charge.

It’s easy to use time after time

The height of cut is centrally adjusted from a minimum cut of 25 mm to a maximum cut of 75 mm. The Vario self propulsion from 2 – 4.5 km/h makes it almost-effortless to manoeuvre the lawnmower no matter the lawn conditions. Easy-running wheels with a traction pattern and directional stability tread pattern hold their line during mowing, resulting in a smooth operation and a perfect finish. The high quality polymer housing is strong and robust and has high resistant against heat and UV radiation for long-lasting use.

Efficient collection of cuttings

Grass cuttings can be collected in the 55 Litre plastic grass catcher box. The specially designed grass box channels air flow towards the ground which ensures optimum filling and also protects both the user and the lawnmower from dust and dirt being thrown up. A handy full level indicator minimises downtime by showing exactly when the box needs emptying, and Its folding mechanism makes it particularly easy to open and empty.

A unique handlebar with lots of advantages

The unique design of the adjustable handlebar is not only comfortable to hold but also makes emptying the grass catcher box much easier. It can also be conveniently folded down for compact storage, and with the addition of two integrated carry handles makes for easier transport between jobs.

Maximum run time and minimum downtime

Flow-optimised blades trim the grass with minimal resistance which consumes minimal battery capacity for increased run time. The addition of an eco mode maximises run time by ensuring the motor is automatically adapted to just the right amount of power required for the current speed of the lawnmower.

A battery and charger are not included

The shell only doesn’t include any battery or charger, which is suitable for those who already have a compatible battery and charger from their fleet of machines, or offers the freedom to choose the most suitable combination of accessories to meet user needs. However, STIHL recommend the AP 300 battery and the AL 301 battery charger.


A 2 year warranty with STIHL is included, we will register the machine upon delivery. T&Cs may apply.

STIHL RMA 448 VC Cordless Lawnmower (Shell Only) Reviews

3 reviews for STIHL RMA 448 VC Cordless Lawnmower (Shell Only)

  1. Jim C

    Replacing a petrol mower (as I gradually greenify my tool shed), this mower does not disappoint. It is simple to assemble from the box, and feels robust enough. There is a lot of plastic in its construction (whereas the petrol was largely metal), but it seems pretty solid – only time will tell. The single asymmetric handle is, to my surprise, really good. There is no twist or imbalance and it does make access to the capacious cuttings box easier. My first criticism is there – the cuttings box is a little tricky to empty cleanly into a garden waste bin (spillage is inevitable). The batteries (I am using 200s, not the recommended 300s), last between 20 to 30 minutes – which is, coincidentally, how long it takes to cut my lawn. Final minor negative is that the wheels seem to leave marks on the lawn initially, but that could be related to all of the rain we’ve had lately. The wheel marks disappear after a day or two. I have cut the grass when wet, and this mower just deals with it, no problem. Noise level is much lower than petrol too. All in all, it gets a five-star review from me – the niggles are simply minor imperfections and I am a perfectionist. :-)
