Maintaining roadside greenery is often done only a few times per year, leading to high grass and thick growth on the shoulders and embankments of roads and highways. AS-Motor’s sturdy flail mowers are ideally suited to clear these areas; moreover, the free-hanging flails ride up and over any hidden objects, optimizing operator safety. For maintenance on extreme slopes, AS-Motor’s Allmähers and ride-on Sherpa mowers offer robust cutting power and convenience.
Roadside greenery improves drivers’ visual guidance as well as road safety. AS-Motor Allmähers provide the advantage of high work rates and outstanding mulching results when maintaining city and community roads, especially when high grass is involved. AS-Motor’s walk-behind devices powered by a 2-stroke engine are excellent solutions for embankments and steep slopes.
AS-Motor has been a pioneer of mechanical weed removal for more than 15 years. The AS 50 WeedHex maintains large areas paved with cobblestone quickly and efficiently. The AS 30 WeedHex is ideally suited for uneven surfaces such as water gutters.
The AS 62 is an easy-to-use mower, extremely agile, with high efficiency, ideal for the green maintenance of a highway road due to its ability not to hurl stones.

With the Sherpa RC not only can you do excellent work, it is also fun! Changeover from manual to remote-controlled operation is just a simple hand motion and done in no time at all. And there are actually situations where manual operation makes more sense. For example, if you must mow a larger area, you are certainly faster when seated on the mower.
During the mowing season, professional operators often run their machines 5 days per week, 8 hours per day. AS-Motor’s machines are unbeatable in terms of quality, durability and professional work results. Additional advantages include low weight, lashing points and compact transport dimensions.
Extensively used meadows such as orchards, compensation areas, or roadside greenery are deliberately mowed only once or twice a year. The vegetation reaches heights of 60 to over 100 cm and forms dense, structurally rich stands.
This form of maintenance serves to keep the area open and suppress woody plants, not to maintain the lawn. Machines with high throughput, uniform cutting performance, and controlled deposition of the cut material are required. This is the only way to efficiently manage large amounts of biomass without overloading the area or damaging the soil and vegetation.
Animal burrows, anthills, mole hills and water channels cause uneven terrain. Several AS-Motor machines have high ground clearance, all-wheel drive and limited slip differential, along with appropriately studded field tyres, for uneven terrain.
AS-Motor engineers machines with high ground clearance, steep ramp angles, low overall weight, optimal weight distribution and a low centre of gravity to perform on slopes.
All-wheel drive not only ensures performance on inclines over 30 degrees, but also a high level of safety for travel downhill. All-wheel drive delivers propulsion in wet conditions and on uneven terrain – even if the wheels of one axle no longer have traction.
Remote controlled devices make the mowing of extreme slopes possible. This technology also allows the operator to mow at a safe distance from dust, wasps, ticks and other hazards.
Ecological mowing and extensive land management focus on reduced, targeted interventions instead of blanket mowing. Cutting heights, timing, and maintenance intervals are based on vegetation development and site conditions, not on maximum area coverage.
Sub-areas are mowed on a rotating basis, while others are deliberately left untouched. This creates varying growth heights, refuges, and stable structures on extensive meadows, compensation areas, municipal green spaces, and in landscape management. Technology is used for control, not intensification.
