AS 62 4T B&S Allmäher – 61cm High-Grass Mower

The AS 62 4T B&S is a 61 cm Allmäher designed for long grass and rougher areas where a normal mower struggles, but a full slope machine would be overkill. Its Briggs & Stratton 850E I/C engine, cross-blade deck and variator drive give it the power and control needed to clear meadows, paddocks and orchard ground without feeling heavy to handle.

It suits private owners, small estates and contractors who want an agile rough-cut mower for level or gently rolling ground with trees, posts and other obstacles to work around. The freewheeling drive and swivelling front wheels make it easy to steer in tight spaces, while the folding handle and compact layout keep transport simple between sites.

Working Capability and Real-World Use

The AS 62 4T B&S sits below the heavier slope-rated Allmäher models, but it brings many of their practical strengths to flatter ground. Its 61 cm cutting width, cross-blade deck and 1.6:1 blade reduction give it the bite needed for rougher meadows up to around 90 cm, but without the bulk that slows operators down around trees or posts. It handles mixed grass, thistles and light scrub well, leaving a tidy, mulched finish suitable for paddocks, orchard lines and recreational areas.

Where It Fits in the AS-Motor Range

• More agile than the AS 63/65 series thanks to freewheel hubs and swivelling front wheels.
• Lighter build makes it easier to push, pivot and back out of tight areas.
• Not designed for steep slopes – for that, buyers move to the 2-stroke AS 63/65 models.
• A strong option for owners who want rough-cut performance without the weight and cost of the slope machines.

Strengths That Matter to Buyers

• Cross-blade system cuts and shreds in one pass, reducing the need for follow-up work.
• Engine and blade shafts are separated, protecting the crank from sudden impacts.
• Vario drive makes it easy to pace the machine to the terrain and material.
• Swivelling front wheels and dual freewheels make tight manoeuvres simple.
• VibrationProtect handle reduces fatigue on longer jobs.
• Folds down for transport in a car, useful for small contractors or estate teams.

Who Buys the AS 62 4T B&S

• Private owners with land that’s too rough for a standard mower but not steep enough for a 2-stroke model.
• Small contractors wanting a nimble machine for orchard rows, community spaces and paddocks.
• Equestrian yards that need regular topping but don’t want a tractor-mounted flail.
• Grounds teams needing a compact rough-cut machine that fits easily in a van.

Jobs It Handles Well

• Meadow orchards with tight turning areas.
• Paddocks and light scrub up to 90 cm.
• Paths and boundary strips where manoeuvrability matters.
• Weekend property and meadow maintenance.

Operational Realities

• The machine is happiest on level or gently rolling ground.
• The conical deck improves airflow and helps prevent blockages in thicker material.
• Front wheels swivel freely – excellent for turning, but they will follow ground contours, so deliberate guidance is needed on ruts.
• Fuel tank is smaller than the larger Allmäher models, so longer sessions may require refuelling.

Useful Add-Ons

• Mulch kit for finer cut in shorter grass.
• Hour meter for tracking service intervals.
