I own the stihl RM248 (in fact I've owned 4 of these over the last 8 years - the Viking MB248 x2, the viking MB248T (with drive) and then my current RM248. I love it's smaller size, but it's rubbish in the wet IF the box is not cleaned out really well... Also the white flap comes off regular.. but hey ho I live with it and it's been a good mower in general. Thanks for the video
Try to get a demo of the 6 or 7 series. They are expensive but I find the build quality and bagging are great. Not tried the 248. If the flap is faulty I would speak to stihl as it may be a fault with the machine.
Great review mate. Great to hear about tools from those out there like yourself. You gotta try an Etesia out though - should be easy to demo through contacting them.
I have a bought etesia this year and is the best mower for wet grass tho not tried the stihl. Been a ex council work I have used all mowers and estesia can slot of punishment
I needed to test out this mower while on demonstration. That 2nd area is usually cut with the ferris 48 mulcher. The first area is a village hall which is cut and collect usually with a hayter. Thanks for watching.
In the commercial game you have to find ways to keep going in any weathers and the Stihl mowers allow for cutting and not making a mess as demonstrated here. Thanks for watching.
@@scottellwoodgardening287 you work longer days when it's dry that's the secret.and leave it when it's wet.im been running a gardening business since 2007 and that's what I do.
@@ianwilliamson2980not always feasible or practical. If you've got 5 days of work scheduled and it rains 3 you're gonna end up cutting wet grass. It's not gonna hurt the grass to mow it wet,but it will effect cut quality some

@@robertblount3143 I'm also an ex-council worker and an Etesia Pro 46 is still the best mower I've used. So far.
I've just ordered one 👍
How come you don't use the Wright stand on mower for those areas, it looks like you would be able to use the 36inch mower there

the grass is way too short to cut, how does the mower work with longer grass?
There is another video up shoring it cutting foot long grass easily 👍
$2k USD. Cub Cadet same performance fore $900.
Not good for grass to cut it when wet.
