Today, I finally got to pick up my AS 940 Sherpa XL B&S from Leinweber Motorgeräte in Neuhof. From the initial consultation on site to the final briefing, I received professional support throughout. The demonstration directly on my orchard meadow was particularly positive – all my questions were answered immediately. Despite the slightly marshy terrain, the Sherpa impressed with its low weight and powerful propulsion. The optional accessories with LED lighting and snow plow were another plus point for me: now I can reliably clear snow from my large yard in winter.

‘The Sherpa is light and very capable off-road. If I get stuck with the mower in a very wet spot, I simply engage the differential lock and then get out again without any problems. The agricultural tyres also ensure that the tread does not get clogged up in wet terrain.’
‘Not only is the Sherpa RC great to work with, it's also fun! [On switching from manual to remote control:] It's a simple operation and done in no time. Yes, and there are actually situations where manual operation makes more sense. For example, if you have a larger area to mow, you'll definitely be faster if you sit on it.’
The AS 940 Sherpa 4WD RC is the ideal machine for dense scrub and steep terrain. In remote control mode, the Sherpa really shows its strength. I can operate it from a safe distance, staying well out of the danger zone, while the mower powers through tough, overgrown vegetation without hesitation. Its strong traction, low centre of gravity, and solid construction ensure maximum stability and control, even on challenging slopes. In my daily work, one thing matters most: safety without compromise on performance – and that’s exactly what the AS 940 Sherpa 4WD RC delivers.

We at Stadtwerke Sehnde GmbH have been using the AS 940 Sherpa 4WD RC for over 600 operating hours in our maintenance work – and we’re still impressed. The machine is efficient, fast, and reliable, even under challenging conditions. Thanks to its tight turning radius and high ground clearance, we can easily access difficult areas such as basins, ditches, and slopes. The remote control makes mowing on inclines safe and precise for the operator, reducing any risk to a minimum. The Sherpa stands out for its stability, traction, and durability – qualities that make a real difference in daily use.

Since the farm is entirely self-supporting, the economic efficiency and thus the maintenance costs and the useful life of a new acquisition are also decisive. "I was very pleasantly surprised by the consumption in particular," says Dr Köbler and adds with a smile: "With the previous model, you had the feeling that you had to drive right behind with the tanker. I couldn't imagine that the mower from AS-Motor would be so economical." In fact, AS-Motor's Sherpa stands out for its low consumption of a maximum of 4.7 litres per hour in extremely tall grass.
On the recommendation of AS-Motor I checked the AS 800 FreeRider at the dealer store Mähler in Gossenheim and then bought it there. Just right for my ranch in Lower Franconia. My previous lawn tractor used to clog and could not cope with high grass, but I’d like to leave the grass as flowering meadows. I particularly like the value of the workmanship: everything is made of sheet steel. That holds up better than the plastic mowers.

"It’s rugged simplicity, comfort and sheer ability is always impressive. I come back from the woods, job done, all good and literally no sweat."
We have been waiting for a machine like this for a long time. Safety is now being increased when mowing large slopes, which is a frequent request from the company's management. We really like Sherpa!

My first contact with the brand was via the Internet. After the demonstration, I decided to buy AS 901 SM - I was impressed with the machine's performance – it is perfect for my orchard. A year after that, I became the owner of one more AS machine - AS 531 2T ES MK B for my backyard. I guess that's the best review and speaks for itself.
