Professionals in landscaping, municipal maintenance, and environmental services know the pain: mowing extreme slopes with dense vegetation is physically demanding, time-consuming, and often risky. Traditional brushcutters and ride-on mowers reach their limits quickly. Turning after every pass is inefficient. Operator fatigue, machine wear, and safety risks are constant concerns.

The newly developed, remote-controlled high grass mower with caterpillar drive delivers unmatched efficiency on slopes of up to 50°, without the need to turn after each lane. With bi-directional mowing, robust rotary power, and intelligent design made in Germany, the Tahr RC redefines what’s possible in steep mowing.

The AS 990 Tahr RC was engineered with a clear goal: maximize area performance while minimizing operational strain.

Thanks to its symmetrical rotary deck, mowing forward or backward yields the same clean, even finish. This means no time-consuming turning at the end of a row — a breakthrough in steep-slope efficiency. Clippings are evenly deposited regardless of direction, aiding rapid decomposition and preserving the soil surface.

Mowing in both directions saves time and ensures a consistent result in grass heights over 1.5 metres. The robust cross-blade system provides effective mulching and shredding, while the cutting height can be adjusted comfortably via remote control. The result is not just operational speed, but a visibly appealing finish – even on semi-formal lawns.

What defines an AS-Motor machine is not just its bright orange finish – it’s our core values of durability, practicality, and user-focused engineering. The Tahr RC carries on this legacy. From its tubular double 4-edge steel frame to its proven industrial-grade hydrostatic drive, every detail is built for real-world resilience. The adapted Sherpa blade system has been tailored for remote control use and is backed by intuitive controls and a service-friendly layout. The folding engine cover ensures easy access to components, while the machine’s electrics are kept as simple and reliable as possible.
