The AS 63 2T ES is the steep-slope specialist in the Allmäher range. Its AS-Motor 2-stroke engine keeps full lubrication at any angle, so you can work on 40-degree banks and awkward inclines without worrying about oil starvation or stalling. The torque delivery is strong at low revs, which makes a noticeable difference in wet, heavy grass where 4-stroke mowers tend to lose momentum.
Contractors, councils and smallholders choose this model when they need a mower that stays controllable on steep, uneven ground. The self-braking transmission slows the machine automatically on descents, and the locked differential gives reliable traction even when the surface is soft. If your ground includes steep banks, ditch edges or long wet grass that beats lighter machines, the AS 63 2T ES is built to handle it safely and consistently.
What the AS 63 2T ES Is Built For
The AS 63 2T ES is designed for steep banking, wet growth and awkward terrain where most walk-behind mowers become unsafe or lose power. Its 2-stroke engine is the core advantage: it keeps its lubrication at any angle, so you can work across, up or down banks without risking oil starvation. This reliability on steep ground is why contractors and councils often choose it over any 4-stroke alternative.
Strengths in Real Use
- True 40°+ slope capability thanks to position-independent lubrication.
- Cross-blade system cuts and shreds long grass into a manageable mulch.
- Self-braking gearbox holds a steady downhill pace, improving safety.
- High torque at lower revs pushes through wet, lush growth without bogging.
- Locked differential in drive gives consistent traction on slippy or soft banks.
- Light 77 kg chassis is easier to stabilise compared with wider, heavier machines.
Who the Machine Suits
This model is aimed at users who work on steep or uneven banks: councils maintaining verges and drainage channels, wind farm contractors, wastewater sites, and smallholders with tricky inclines. It’s also ideal for anyone currently using a brushcutter on banks and wants to cut work time in half.
Where It Sits in the AS Range
It shares its layout with the 4-stroke AS 63 but trades general convenience for far stronger slope performance. Compared with the AS 65 and AS 73, it’s narrower and less powerful but considerably easier to control on steep or uneven ground. It’s the bank-safe option in the Allmäher line-up.
Practical Considerations
- The narrow deck helps it move around trees, fences and ditch edges.
- Self-braking transmission removes the risk of downhill run-on.
- Blade and engine separation provides extra protection when hitting unseen obstacles.
- Optional twin tyres improve grip on troublesome slopes.
- Folds easily for transport, useful for contractors covering multiple sites.
If your priority is controlled, safe mowing on steep, wet or uneven terrain, the AS 63 2T ES outperforms heavier rough cutters and any 4-stroke model in its size.
How Suffolk Mowers Supports Your Purchase
Suffolk Mowers supplies every AS 63 2T ES fully assembled, fuelled, test-run and set up for slope work. Before handover we check the variator drive, self-braking gearbox, blade clutch and safety interlocks so the machine behaves exactly as it should on banks and uneven ground. If your site includes steep verges, ditch edges or soft banking, we’ll advise on whether twin tyres or other traction upgrades are worth fitting from the start.
Our workshop carries genuine AS-Motor parts, blades, belts and service items, and we handle repairs, seasonal servicing and fleet support for contractors and councils. If you’re unsure whether the 2-stroke AS 63 or the 4-stroke version suits your ground better, we’ll talk through your terrain and recommend the right setup with no guesswork. The aim is simple: keep the machine cutting safely and reliably across the whole season.
