AS 920 Sherpa 2WD Loncin Ride-On Rough Cutter

The AS 920 Sherpa 2WD Loncin is the most affordable entry into the Sherpa platform, giving contractors and landowners the same 90 cm mulching deck found on the 940 models but with a lighter, faster and more agile chassis. The 708 cc Loncin V-twin delivers steady power for long grass, meadow growth and mixed rough areas, while the low starting cut height helps keep regrowth under control across solar farms, estates and paddocks.

The hydrostatic drive lever keeps operation simple, and the limited slip differential gives you extra grip when the ground gets greasy. With its tight turning radius and low overall weight, the 920 Loncin moves quickly around obstacles and narrow access points. Suffolk Mowers supports the Loncin version with servicing, blades, belts and engine parts, making it a reliable choice for anyone covering large areas at pace.

What the AS 920 Sherpa 2WD Loncin Is Built For

The AS 920 Sherpa 2WD Loncin is aimed at users who need to cover a lot of ground quickly without paying extra for 4WD. It uses the same 90 cm closed mulching deck found on the bigger Sherpas but pairs it with a lighter, simpler 2WD chassis and a Loncin V-twin engine. That combination makes sense on sites where slopes are present but not extreme, and where output speed and running cost matter more than full bank capability.

The low starting cut height and fast travel speed make the 920 Loncin well suited to regular maintenance of meadows, paddocks, solar fields and estate ground. Instead of sending staff out with walk-behind machines or brushcutters, the operator can sit down and clear big areas in fewer passes. On moderate inclines and firm ground, the limited slip differential provides enough extra traction to keep the rear wheels working.

Who This Machine Suits

• Contractors maintaining mainly flat or gently sloping sites where speed is the priority.
• Solar park operators who need a low cut height, good access and predictable running costs.
• Estate owners with paddocks, meadows and rough lawns that are too big for walk-behind kit.
• Grounds teams looking for a value-led alternative to the 920 B&S with similar capability.
• Buyers who want Sherpa mulching performance without paying for 4WD hardware.

Strengths in Day-to-Day Use

• High work rate: travel speeds up to 10.5 km/h keep large areas moving.
• Low cut height: 35 mm minimum cut helps hold back regrowth on regular maintenance cycles.
• Loncin V-twin: a straightforward, torquey engine that is cost-effective to run and maintain.
• Agile handling: light chassis and tight turning radius suit orchards and solar layouts.
• Cross-blade deck: mulches tall grass and light scrub cleanly without collection.
• Simple controls: hydrostatic lever and diff-lock pedal are easy to understand for different operators.

Where It Sits Against Other Sherpa Models

Compared with the AS 940 Sherpa 4WD machines, the 920 Loncin gives up traction and slope performance but gains speed, simplicity and price advantage. It’s the sensible choice when your sites are mostly moderate ground with only short sections that test grip. Versus the 920 B&S, this Loncin version appeals to buyers who value a lower purchase cost and are comfortable with a non-B&S engine brand. Against the XL models, it sits lower, turns tighter and is easier to live with in tighter layouts.

Operational Realities

• It is not a steep-slope machine; regular bank work still belongs to the 940 4WD range.
• Traction is good for a 2WD with diff-lock, but very wet or rutted ground will still challenge it.
• The deck is built for long grass and rougher areas, not fine lawn presentation.
• Because it is lighter than the 4WD models, transport and storage are easier on smaller sites.

How Suffolk Mowers Supports the AS 920 Sherpa 2WD Loncin

• Workshop servicing for the Loncin engine, hydrostatic transmission and running gear.
• Stocked consumables including blades, belts, filters, tyres and deck hardware.
• Warranty handling to keep downtime as short as possible.
• Set-up and usage advice on cut height, ground speed and diff-lock use for different sites.
• Accessory supply such as trailers, chains, twin tyres, tilt meter and mulch kits.

For many estates, solar sites and contractors, the AS 920 Sherpa 2WD Loncin is the most cost-effective way to get Sherpa-level long-grass performance, and Suffolk Mowers gives it the backup needed for regular professional use.
