AS 26 2T ES High-Slope Allmäher – Tall Grass Mower

AS 26 2T ES is a classic 3-wheel Allmäher built around AS-Motor’s proven 2-stroke engine, giving you reliable cutting power on slopes where most petrol mowers struggle. The position-independent lubrication means it stays protected even when working across steep banks, making it a dependable choice for paddocks, orchard strips and uneven terrain.

This model suits users who want strong torque, simple mechanics and stable handling around obstacles. The high-position snorkel keeps dust away from the engine, while the EasyStart system reduces the effort required to get it running. Suffolk Mowers supplies the AS 26 2T ES with full setup support and a 2-year AS-Motor warranty.

What the AS 26 2T ES Is Built For

The AS 26 2T ES is designed for areas where a normal 4-stroke mower simply won’t cope. Its 2-stroke engine keeps full lubrication at any angle, making it a reliable tool for banking, ditches, orchard slopes and awkward ground where oil starvation would stop a standard mower. With a 63 cm cutting width and strong torque, it clears long grass efficiently without feeling heavy or difficult to guide.

Real Slope Capability

The position-independent lubrication is the key difference. The AS-Motor 2-stroke engine keeps running cleanly when pushed across or up slopes, and the rear-wheel drive gives predictable traction. For users who’ve had 4-stroke engines cough, stall or flood on gradients, the AS 26 is a straightforward fix.

Handling and Control

The 3-wheel layout is what makes this machine so manoeuvrable. The front caster wheel lets you pivot cleanly around posts, trees and fences, and it can be locked diagonally for slope work to keep the machine tracking straight. This makes the AS 26 2T ES quicker to position than larger Allmäher models and ideal for sites with tight corners or uneven lines.

Cutting Performance

The AS 26 uses higher blade speeds than the AS 21 series, which helps shred the grass more thoroughly and maintain forward pace in thicker growth. It comfortably handles grass up to around 90 cm, producing a cleaner result than you’d expect from a simple 3-wheel slope mower. Cutting height adjusts from 55–80 mm via independent front and rear settings.

Engine Protection

To cope with rough ground, the engine is supported by a third crankshaft bearing, and the blade system uses friction discs that slip on impact. This protects the crank and reduces the chance of serious damage if you strike stones, ruts or buried debris. The snorkel air intake is also a practical addition for dusty banks, motocross tracks and dry paddocks.

Where It Sits in the AS-Motor Range

• More powerful and productive than the AS 21 2T – wider width, more torque and faster shredding.
• More agile than the AS 63 – easier to guide around obstacles, though the AS 63 remains the traction specialist.
• Lighter and simpler than the AS 65/73 – those are heavier rough-cut machines for scrub and thicker material.

Practical Ownership

The AS 26 2T ES is straightforward to maintain: no carb flooding from odd angles, no oil level worries on banks and fewer moving parts than a comparable 4-stroke. The tool-free handlebar adjustment lets different operators set it up quickly, and the machine’s 58 kg weight makes it manageable on and off slopes. The 5-litre tank gives it decent working time before refuelling.

Useful Accessories

• Twin wheels – added stability and traction on steeper banks.
• Hand guards – protection when working near brambles or thorny edges.
• Climbing aid – improves grip during transverse mowing.
• Special blade – suited to sandy or abrasive soil types.
• Tilt meter – helps operators judge slope angles safely.

Who This Model Suits

The AS 26 2T ES works best for users who deal with uneven land and slopes and want a machine that stays running regardless of angle. It’s ideal for smallholders, orchard owners, equestrian sites, bankside maintenance and contractors needing a nimble machine for tricky ground. Anyone frustrated with the limitations of 4-stroke engines on slopes will find this model a noticeable step up.
