AS 915 Sherpa 2WD Long-Grass Ride-On Mower

AS 915 Sherpa 2WD is the entry point into the Sherpa range, giving you a true long-grass rider with the stability, traction and cutting force needed for meadows, orchards and mixed terrain. The 708 cc Loncin V-twin delivers steady power, and the 90 cm cross-blade deck handles tall, uneven growth without fuss.

This model suits private landowners and light professional users who want a compact rough-cut machine that’s easy to handle and comfortable for longer sessions. Suffolk Mowers supports the AS 915 with solid advice, setup help and aftercare, making it a reliable choice for anyone stepping into Sherpa-level performance.

Built for dependable long-grass work

The AS 915 Sherpa 2WD is built for ground where a lawn tractor simply can’t cope. The 90 cm cross-blade deck deals with long, uneven grass and mixed growth, while the surfing deck design protects the blades when the terrain rises under the machine. It’s a practical choice for paddocks, meadows, orchard floors and general estate work.

What it handles well

This model excels in tall grass up to around 1.2 m, mixed vegetation, and rougher ground where agility matters. It’s not a finish mower — it’s a rough-cut machine designed to clear areas quickly and cleanly without clogging.

Where it sits in the AS-Motor range

The AS 915 sits above the AS 799, 800 and 900 series thanks to its stronger V-twin engine, better traction and more capable cross-blade deck. It shares the overall Sherpa layout but remains lighter and more agile than the AS 920.

Choosing between Sherpa models

If you want a compact machine for mixed terrain and regular long-grass cutting, the 915 is a strong fit. If you need more output or work in heavier material, the AS 920 offers a step up. For steep banking, buyers usually move to the AS 940 4WD. The 915 is the sensible middle ground for most private and semi-professional users.

Who the AS 915 Sherpa is for

This model appeals to users who want strong performance without stepping into contractor-grade machines.

Typical users

• Private landowners managing paddocks, meadows or orchard areas
• Estate teams needing a nimble rider for mixed ground
• Equestrian sites with long-grass margins and access paths
• Contractors wanting a compact secondary rough-cut machine
• Leisure and holiday parks needing agility around cabins and trees

Day-to-day strengths

The AS 915 offers a solid mix of power, control and comfort. The low operator position gives protection in undergrowth, and the machine’s compact size makes it easy to work around trees, posts and fencing.

Key advantages in real use

• Loncin V-twin: reliable torque delivery in long and heavy growth
• Hydrostatic drive: smooth one-hand speed control from 0–10.5 km/h
• Engageable diff-lock: better traction when the surface gets soft or uneven
• Cross-blade system: cuts and chops material with minimal blockage
• Surfing deck: deck lifts to protect blades on uneven patches
• Small turning radius: ideal for orchards, trees and tight spots

Comfort and control

The deep seating position keeps the operator safe and stable, especially when working in scrub or uneven areas. The adjustable seat and generous legroom suit taller users, and the control layout is simple and quick to learn.

Optional comfort upgrades

A suspension seat kit is available for regular or longer sessions, giving smoother travel on rough ground.

Operational realities

The AS 915 is designed for long grass on flat and moderate slopes. It has enough traction for uneven ground but is not a bank mower, and it’s not built for woody scrub or constant brush clearance — that’s where the YAK or AS 940 come in.

What to expect on different terrain

On suitable ground, the machine is quick, agile and predictable. The diff-lock helps when conditions get slippery, and the machine’s lower weight makes it easier to handle in tight working areas.

Useful accessories

A range of accessories improves versatility across the season.

Popular additions

• Mulch kit: improves finish on shorter maintained areas
• Trailer and hitch: useful for estate tasks and waste handling
• Snow blade and chains: adds winter capability
• Twin tyres: increases traction for softer ground
• Tilt meter: simple slope monitoring
• Insect scare device: helpful on wildlife-sensitive ground
