The AS 50 WeedHex is built for contractors and municipal teams who want strong mechanical weed removal with less cleanup time. Its 50 cm working width, oscillating brush system and 25-litre collection bag make it a practical choice for car parks, kerb lines and paved areas where sweeping afterwards slows the job down.
It’s a straightforward machine to run, with a variable-speed drive and a DPLF-certified stone guard that keeps operation controlled in public spaces. Suffolk Mowers supports the AS 50 WeedHex with parts, servicing and replacement brushes for long-term professional use.
What the AS 50 WeedHex Is Known For
The AS 50 WeedHex sits in the middle of the AS-Motor weed brush range and is the only model that collects debris as it works. The patented oscillating brush system gives consistent pressure across paving, kerbs and edging, while the 25-litre bag captures what you remove. For contractors who want cleaner results with fewer follow-up steps, this is the standout feature.
Its DPLF-certified double stone guard makes it a strong option for schools, retail areas, car parks and public footpaths where debris control matters. With a 50 cm working width and a tempered steel cable brush, it delivers solid performance without the bulk of the larger AS 60 WeedHex.
Who It’s Designed For
- Councils maintaining paths, kerbs and pedestrian zones
- Grounds contractors with medium-to-large paved areas
- Facilities teams in retail parks, business parks and leisure sites
- Operators who want to minimise cleanup work
Real Strengths
- Faster cleanup: The 25-litre bag cuts out the sweeping stage on most jobs.
- Consistent brush pressure: The oscillating system adjusts itself via centrifugal force.
- Controlled operation: The stone guard provides low-risk use around cars and foot traffic.
- Flexible speed: The variomatic drive lets you slow down for kerbs or speed up on long runs.
- Edge access: The side-impact guard flips up for close work against kerbstones.
- Comfortable handling: Laterally adjustable handlebar makes awkward angles manageable.
Support, Service and Parts
Suffolk Mowers supplies replacement cable brushes, drive components, collection bags and service parts for the AS 50 WeedHex. Contractors often pair the machine with an hour meter to keep track of usage for both maintenance and billing. The Briggs & Stratton 850 Series engine is straightforward to service and well supported throughout the UK.
Where It Sits in the Range
The AS 50 WeedHex sits between the compact AS 30 models and the high-output AS 60 WeedHex. It remains the only mid-size model with an integrated 25-litre collection bag, which is a time-saver for contractors working in public spaces, schools and car parks.
It is available in two versions:
- AS 50 WeedHex (Petrol): Briggs & Stratton 850 E Series engine, strong cable brush performance and variomatic drive for flexible speed control.
- AS 50 E-WeedHex (Battery): A quieter, low-emission alternative suited to early-morning work, built-up areas and noise-restricted sites.

The petrol AS 50 offers more continuous output for tougher jobs, while the AS 50 E-WeedHex is the cleaner and quieter option for sensitive areas. Both sit squarely between the AS 30 precision models and the high-capacity AS 60 WeedHex used for larger municipal sites.
