  • Hi....did you make a decision on this mower?

  • PRO

    yes keith, brought last week two inch more cutting width, than the 650, you can tell this model got stronger engine tho ,but too be honest car,nt tell the diff in weight,  you can swing it round all day very easy, some times too me the honda 21" mouls me a bit on small lawns and getting it van and up steps, engine sounds sweet too great pick up in wet !!

  • Thanks ..I am looking at the four wheel version..at about £750...the 2 mowers I run are both near the end of there useful life..one is being replaced by a 545....the 655 would sort the other one out...

    i would buy four weeled version to cos mulching option only !!  but to be honest ive got loads domestic lawns with borders and its so easy and quick with a roller too hang it over the edge of lawn as you know !! p.s people look at the viking and think PLASTIC until you have you have used one you should not coment on them if they were orange with stihl logo on them i think people would look diff on them !! and thats wot 4 dealers have said to me, even stihl reps !!! but they wont change colour or brand !!

  • Lol..i dont worry about the colour...one of the mowers i've been using is a stiga which is yellow :)

    i know what u mean re plastic ..but the 655 has a nice metal deck..the 545 although 'plastic'  will sort out the smaller lawns and should last long enuff
