AS 53 2T ES 4WD RB

All-wheel drive and reverse gear for steep slopes

Equipped with the world’s only 2-stroke engine that meets the requirements stipulated by the EU Emissions Directive 97/68/EC, the AS 53 2T ES 4WD RB can mow safely on inclines of up to 45 degrees. In addition, the AS 2-stroke engine is factory-equipped with an EasyStart function; the CDI digital ignition system cuts the rpms required to start in half. The 2-stroke engine’s high torque provides full power in high, wet grass, while a third crankshaft bearing, safety blade carrier and friction discs on the wing blade protect the engine in the event of unseen obstacles.
All-wheel drive delivers propulsion even in extreme conditions such as slopes and uneven, hilly terrain.
The AS 53 2T ES 4WD RB has excellent grip thanks to large, aggressive tread drive wheels. The brake provides support on extreme slopes and can also be used as a parking brake.
Drive speed can be conveniently adjusted to suit the conditions using the variator, and the AS 53 2T ES 4WD RB comes with a reverse gear. Cutting heights can be adjusted from 30–100 mm via six levels on each axle. Work rates reaching 2,500 m² per hour are possible due to a powerful 2-stroke engine with up to 6.0 hp and a 53 cm cutting width. The AS 53 2T ES 4WD RB easily cuts grass up to 40 cm high.

Customer reviews

They still exist: garden tools with durability from the past paired with the technology of today. More than 20 years ago, my father had bought a second-hand AS 53 2T lawn mower for the regular mowing of an orchard of about 2,000 m², which still performs its services reliably today; before that, the mower had already been in use for more than 10 years at the road administration. In parallel, we had two others AS 53 2Ts that were older and that we could still sell for good money. If you buy an AS mower new and use it privately, it will probably last a lifetime. Basically, of course, as with all machines, you have to look after them and handle them sensibly.
– Joachim Follmann (private user, Germany)
With 35 year old mowers from AS, we still have fun mowing. That is Swabian quality. We own several "Gütle" (garden plots), one of which is on a steep slope. Our AS 53 B1/R all-wheel drive still does a great job! We also have an AS 45 B1, which is just as old and still in use. Our oldest AS machine still in working order is an AS 21 from 1968, found in grandpa's barn.
– Marius Wiedmann (student from Heubach, Germany)
We have been using the AS 53 Allrad for our ornamental lawns on slopes up to 45° for more than 15 years. For this extreme application, it is the only machine on the market that meets our requirements for quality and performance. The robustness of the machines has convinced us for a long time. In the meantime, we have a fleet of 6 AS machines that provide us with loyal service at all times.
