The AS 65 2T ES is the steep-slope version of the Allmäher range, built around AS-Motor’s own 2-stroke engine. Unlike a 4-stroke, it keeps full lubrication at any angle, which makes it one of the few walk-behind machines you can use confidently on banks, drainage ditches and awkward inclines without risking engine damage. Its torque delivery suits long, wet grass where heavier engines tend to bog down.
Contractors, councils and smallholders choose this model when they need a mower that can be held steady on uneven or slippy ground. The 65 cm deck and cross-blade setup keep the cut controlled and predictable, and the machine is light enough to hold securely across slopes. If your ground is steep, rough and consistently
What the AS 65 2T ES Is Built For
The AS 65 2T ES is designed for steep banks, wet ground and awkward terrain where most 4-stroke rough cutters struggle. The 2-stroke engine keeps its lubrication no matter the angle, so you can work on long slopes without worrying about oil starvation or stalling. Its torque delivery makes it reliable in soaked, heavy grass and patchy rough growth where you need steady power rather than high blade speed.
Strengths in Real Use
- Excellent control on 35–40° inclines thanks to light chassis and predictable balance.
- Cross-blade system shreds tall grass into a manageable mulch without throwing debris.
- Rear-discharge closed deck helps keep material circulating long enough to break it down.
- 1:2 blade reduction gives the machine bite in thick, wet growth.
- Five-speed gearbox and reverse make it workable in tight or uneven access areas.
Who the Machine Suits
This version of the Allmäher is aimed at contractors, councils and landowners who routinely deal with drainage banks, ditch edges, sloped paddocks and verges. It’s also the right choice for users who have tried a 4-stroke rough cutter and found it unreliable on wet angles or slippy ground. If keeping control is more important than outright speed, the AS 65 2T ES fits the job.
Where It Sits in the AS Range
It shares the 65 cm deck size with the 4-stroke model but trades top-end power for slope-proof handling. Compared with the AS 73, it’s narrower and slower on large open areas, but far more secure on steep, awkward terrain. It’s the specialist model for bank work rather than a high-acreage meadow mower.
Practical Considerations
- The lighter weight makes cross-slope control easier and reduces operator fatigue.
- Friction discs and a third crank bearing give extra engine protection on unseen obstacles.
- Optional twin tyres, low-pressure tyres or steel wheels can be added for extra grip.
- Rear-discharge layout helps keep material away from the operator on narrow banking paths.
The AS 65 2T ES is ultimately a problem-solver. If most of your cutting is on steep or wet ground, it performs with a consistency you won’t get from a 4-stroke machine in the same size class.
How Suffolk Mowers Supports Your Purchase
Suffolk Mowers supplies the AS 65 2T ES fully assembled, fuelled, tested and ready for bank work. Before delivery, we check the cross-blade system, reduction drive, clutch engagement and safety interlocks so the machine arrives set up exactly as it should be for steep ground. If your site includes difficult slopes, soft banks or narrow edging runs, we can advise on the best wheel setup, including twin tyres, low-pressure tyres or steel wheels.
Our workshop carries genuine AS-Motor parts, belts, blades and service kits, and we handle repairs, seasonal servicing and fleet support for contractors and councils. If you’re unsure whether a 2-stroke is the right fit for your terrain, we’ll talk through real-world examples based on the ground you look after. We keep the focus practical: helping you choose the right setup and keeping the machine reliable throughout the season.
