AS-Motor Ride-On Mowers for Long Grass, Slopes & Rough Ground

How AS-Motor Riders Handle Tough Ground

These machines are built for places where normal ride-ons fail. The low seating position keeps the centre of gravity down, the drivetrains are made for traction, and the cutting systems are designed to chew through long, wet grass without choking. Whether you’re working across paddocks, orchard strips or uneven banks, they give controlled progress instead of stop–start cutting.

Sherpa, Yak and E-Sherpa: What Sets Them Apart

• Sherpa Series: Compact ride-on brushcutters for long grass and bank work. Available in 2WD and 4WD versions to suit anything from moderate slopes to steep, awkward ground.
• Yak Series: Ride-on flail mowers with high output for dense, coarse growth. Built for rougher areas where a rotary brushcutter can’t keep pace.
• E-Sherpa: A quiet, electric high-grass rider for noise-restricted sites. Same tough cutting performance without the engine noise.

Most buyers choose based on terrain. If the ground is mixed or includes banks, the Sherpa range is the sensible solution. If the grass is heavy or coarse, the Yak’s flail rotor gives a cleaner, more controlled result. The E-Sherpa fits jobs where noise or emissions matter as much as cut quality.

Who These Ride-Ons Suit

These machines suit people who need a compact rough-cut solution with far more stability than a garden tractor. Contractors use them for verges, estates and access paths. Landowners choose them for rough paddocks, orchard floors and areas where walk-behind machines are too slow. Anyone dealing with long grass on uneven ground benefits from the extra traction, torque and control these riders offer.

Where They Sit in the AS-Motor Range

Ride-ons sit between the pedestrian rough-cut mowers and the remote-controlled machines. They offer the speed and productivity of a seat-based machine without giving up the cutting ability needed for rough ground. If you want to keep up with growth but don’t need a full remote-controlled unit, ride-ons are the practical middle ground.

Practical Considerations

These riders aren’t lawn tractors and they’re not designed for short, manicured turf. They thrive in long, uneven grass, but the ground still needs reasonable access for safe working. Flail models give the best results on heavy material but require more upkeep. Petrol versions are straightforward for day-to-day use, while the E-Sherpa needs planned charging. Used in the right environment, they cut quickly, stay stable and reduce the time you spend strimming or fighting with machines that can’t cope.

How Suffolk Mowers Helps You Choose the Right Ride-On

With AS-Motor riders, the right choice depends on how your ground behaves. At Suffolk Mowers we look at your slopes, access points, the length of the grass and how often you cut. That lets us narrow down whether you need a Sherpa for mixed terrain, a Yak for heavier growth or the electric E-Sherpa for noise-sensitive work. The aim is simple: recommend a machine that stays productive rather than one that struggles the moment conditions get rough.

We also support these machines fully after purchase. From flail maintenance on Yak models to drive and steering checks on Sherpas, we keep the equipment ready for season-long use. Parts, servicing and repairs are all handled in-house so your ride-on keeps working through heavy growth and awkward ground without long delays or lost days.
