Stihl RMA 443 V CORDLESS LAWN MOWER

STIHL RMA 443 V Cordless Lawn Mower is a 41cm self-propelled battery mower designed for home users who want to cover more ground with less effort. The RMA 443 V, also searched as RMA443V or Stihl RMA 443V, uses the same core platform as the standard RMA 443 but adds Vario drive, making it far easier to handle over longer mowing sessions or slightly uneven lawns.

At Suffolk Mowers, this is the model customers move to when they like the size and simplicity of the RMA 443 but don’t want to be pushing the full weight themselves. You still get the same four mowing options, dual battery slots and compact 41cm cut, but with the added benefit of adjustable self-propelled drive to take the effort out of it.

Same Size as the RMA 443, But Easier to Use

The main difference between the RMA 443 V and the standard RMA 443 is the drive system. The RMA 443 is push-only, while the RMA 443 V pulls itself forward. That one change makes a big difference if you’re mowing for longer periods or working across larger or slightly sloped areas.

It’s slightly heavier on paper, but in practice it feels easier to use because you’re guiding the mower rather than pushing it.

Vario Self-Propelled Drive

The drive system is adjustable between 2.0 and 4.5 km/h, so you can match the mower to your walking speed and the condition of the lawn. Slower speeds for thicker patches, faster speeds for open areas. It keeps the job steady without feeling rushed or heavy.

41cm Cutting Width for Medium to Larger Lawns

The 41cm cut is a strong middle ground. It gives enough width to make progress on a decent-sized lawn without becoming bulky around edges, borders or obstacles. Combined with the self-drive, it makes this size much easier to manage than a push mower of the same width.

Four Ways to Cut, No Tools Needed

The Stihl RMA 443 V offers the same flexibility as the standard model, with four mowing options built in:

• Collect for a clean, finished lawn
• Rear discharge for quicker cutting
• Side discharge for longer grass or rougher areas
• Mulching to return clippings back into the lawn

Switching between modes is straightforward, so you can adjust depending on the time of year or how the grass is growing.

Battery Setup That Supports Longer Runs

Running on the STIHL AK System, the RMA 443 V is best paired with the AK 30 S battery, giving up to around 350m² per charge in typical conditions. It’s also compatible with other AK batteries if you already own them.

The dual battery slots are a practical addition. If you’ve got a second battery ready, you can switch over quickly and carry on without stopping the job.

Built for Regular Domestic Use

The polymer deck keeps the mower lighter than steel alternatives and won’t rust over time. It’s designed to handle regular use without adding unnecessary weight. Combined with smooth-running wheels and balanced design, the mower stays stable even when using the drive system.

The mono handlebar makes a noticeable difference when emptying the grass box. With clear access from one side, it’s quicker and less awkward to remove and refit. The 52-litre collector also reduces how often you need to stop.

Where It Fits in the Range

The STIHL RMA 443 V sits directly above the standard RMA 443. You’re getting the same cutting width and overall size, but with added comfort through self-propelled drive. It’s the better option if you want to reduce effort without stepping up to a larger mower.

If your lawn is smaller and flat, the RMA 443 may be enough. If you need to cover even more ground quickly, wider self-propelled models higher up the range are worth considering.

Support, Batteries & Buying Options

From Suffolk Mowers, you’ll have access to parts, servicing and proper support after purchase. That’s especially useful when choosing the right battery setup for your lawn and how you plan to use the mower.

We offer the RMA 443 V as both a tool-only mower and as a complete kit with battery and charger. If you already own STIHL AK batteries, the tool-only version keeps things simple. If not, the kit gives you everything needed to get started straight away.
