Tougher yet lighter : the new MB 655 RS mower



New for 2014, the VIKING MB 655 RS lawn mower has been upgraded this year and made even tougher for professionals' use. The MB 655 RSis a 53cm (21") petrol rear-roller, packed with user-friendly features like an easy-start engine, blade brake clutch and variable speed drive. Now its extra reinforcements and the clever use of strong yet lightweight materials have made it more robust and lighter too. That means contractors for example can transport it more easily to work, knowing this reliable performer will simply get the job done. Visitors to SALTEX can learn more about the new model from the team on the STIHL stand, and take a good look around to see itsqualities for themselves.

First sight : 7 Series professional prototype ready for next year
Visitors to the STIHL stand at SALTEX can also see a prototype of another powerful professional lawn mower - a new addition to the 7 Series range arriving early next year. VIKING 7 Series lawn mowers are seriously tough customers that deliver just what is needed in a professional machine: low vibrations, high performance engines, plus easy adjustments to suit the user, mowing conditions and terrain. They are also extra powerful, genuinely reliable and their steely toughness is designed for frequent and lasting use. The new VIKING 7 Series is already, not surprisingly, a popular professional choice so VIKING expects next year's addition to be a welcome one too.

The latest VIKING lawn mowers, mulching mowers and ride-ons will all be on show at SALTEX 2014, and the expert STIHL team will guide visitors on the best choice for their task.
