Stihl’s First AP-Series Self-Propelled Model Combines Power and Convenience
Stihl has cautiously entered the battery-powered lawn mower market, but its latest release—the RMA 510 V Self-Propelled Mower—signals a bold step forward. Building on the foundation of its 2019 push mower predecessor, this model recently secured second place in Pro Tool Reviews’ best battery-powered lawn mower rankings.
Performance: Precision and Efficiency
Powered by a 36V AP 300 battery and a brushless motor, the RMA 510 V delivers consistent performance with a 20-inch cutting width and a blade speed of 3,200 RPM. The redesigned battery offers enhanced water resistance, sustained high output, and extended runtime, operating at full capacity until depletion.
This marks the first time Stihl’s AP-series battery has been integrated into a self-propelled unit. The mower covers up to 2,583 square feet per charge, making it ideal for small to medium lawns. Users can adjust the self-propulsion speed from 0.6 MPH to 2.8 MPH, accommodating varying walking paces.
Design: Versatility and Durability
The RMA 510 V prioritizes user comfort and adaptability with seven cutting height adjustments (ranging from 1 to 3.9 inches) and three handlebar positions. Its 21-inch steel deck and 10-inch rear/8-inch front wheels ensure stability on uneven terrain, while the 63.9-pound weight enhances maneuverability.
Additional conveniences include push-button startup and a foldable handle for compact storage. The 19.8-gallon grass bag further streamlines the mowing process.
Pricing and Warranty
The mower retails at 729.99 as a kit, which includes the AP 300 battery and AL 300 charger. Stihl supports the purchase with a 3-year warranty, underscoring confidence in the model’s reliability.
With its blend of innovation and practicality, the RMA 510 V positions Stihl as a growing contender in the battery-powered lawn care segment.
