Mulching is a process by which grass cuttings are shredded several times into a fine mulch, which then remains on the surface as natural fertiliser. Special mulching blades with a double cutting plane and a circular mulching unit are used on ornamental lawns, while cross-blade systems or flail mowers are primarily used in high grass.
-
Ornamental lawns in both private gardens and public facilities can be maintained with either mulching or collecting mowers. When mulching, the finely-shredded cuttings remain on the surface as natural fertiliser, while collection bags help the operator transport cuttings to a disposal point. Lawns are usually mowed once per week to a cutting height of 40–50 mm, from a maximum height of 15 cm.
-
Flower meadows are structurally rich habitats that are extremely important for insects, wild bees, and species that depend on flowers. The key is not to mow frequently, but to cut at the right time. Before the flowering phase, the vegetation can quickly reach heights of 30–40 cm. After that, maintenance is carried out at longer intervals, usually once or twice a year. This form of extensive use requires machines that can safely cut tall, heterogeneous vegetation without putting unnecessary strain on the area. Clean cuts, controlled deposition, and an adapted driving style are essential for preserving plant populations and enabling regeneration.
-
Extensively used meadows such as orchards, compensation areas, or roadside greenery are deliberately mowed only once or twice a year. The vegetation reaches heights of 60 to over 100 cm and forms dense, structurally rich stands. This form of maintenance serves to keep the area open and suppress woody plants, not to maintain the lawn. Machines with high throughput, uniform cutting performance, and controlled deposition of the cut material are required. This is the only way to efficiently manage large amounts of biomass without overloading the area or damaging the soil and vegetation.
-
Without maintenance, open areas quickly become overgrown with blackberries, clematis, and young trees. In young forests, reforestation areas, or Christmas tree plantations, targeted brush clearing is necessary to secure the desired structures and reduce competition. It is crucial to use maintenance methods that intervene selectively and do not destroy large areas. Mechanical flail mowing technology makes it possible to remove woody growth and vigorous shrubs without unnecessarily damaging the soil structure and root space. This ensures that areas remain usable and ecologically stable in the long term.
-
During the mowing season, professional operators often run their machines 5 days per week, 8 hours per day. AS-Motor’s machines are unbeatable in terms of quality, durability and professional work results. Additional advantages include low weight, lashing points and compact transport dimensions.
-
Animal burrows, anthills, mole hills and water channels cause uneven terrain. Several AS-Motor machines have high ground clearance, all-wheel drive and limited slip differential, along with appropriately studded field tyres, for uneven terrain.
-
AS-Motor engineers machines with high ground clearance, steep ramp angles, low overall weight, optimal weight distribution and a low centre of gravity to perform on slopes.
-
All-wheel drive not only ensures performance on inclines over 30 degrees, but also a high level of safety for travel downhill. All-wheel drive delivers propulsion in wet conditions and on uneven terrain – even if the wheels of one axle no longer have traction.
-
Remote controlled devices make the mowing of extreme slopes possible. This technology also allows the operator to mow at a safe distance from dust, wasps, ticks and other hazards.
-
The AS 50’s high work rate delivers efficient weed removal on large and uneven surfaces such as a car parks, commercial areas and paths. A collection bag eliminates the need for sweeping and surface cleaning.
-
Cobblestones and uneven paved areas can be treated for weeds, without the use of chemicals, using mechanical methods. The agile AS 30 is designed for work close to edges, water inlet channels, manholes and on traffic islands with posts and signs.

Ecological mowing and extensive land management focus on reduced, targeted interventions instead of blanket mowing. Cutting heights, timing, and maintenance intervals are based on vegetation development and site conditions, not on maximum area coverage. Sub-areas are mowed on a rotating basis, while others are deliberately left untouched. This creates varying growth heights, refuges, and stable structures on extensive meadows, compensation areas, municipal green spaces, and in landscape management. Technology is used for control, not intensification.

AS 60 E-WeedHex AP: professional battery-powered weed brush with 60 cm working width
The AS 60 E-WeedHex AP is a professional battery-powered weed brush for mechanical weed removal on paved surfaces, paths, squares, and along kerbstones. With a 60 cm working width, it combines high surface coverage with the powerful and controlled operation of a robust weed brush.
The drive uses two batteries from the STIHL AP System and provides a maximum system output of up to 2.93 kW. This makes the AS 60 E-WeedHex AP suitable for municipalities, landscaping and gardening businesses, building service providers, and other professional users who wish to remove weeds without chemicals, local exhaust emissions, or unnecessary noise pollution.
Efficient weed removal on hard surfaces
The brush carrier is equipped with eight adjustable wire brushes and is engaged via a hand lever. It operates at 195 rpm.
The low speed reduces the risk of stone projection compared to high-speed brushcutters. At the same time, the mechanical reduction gear generates high torque and transfers the drive power directly to the brush carrier. This effectively loosens weeds, moss, and overgrowth from joints and hard surfaces.
A surrounding metal ring protects the brushes when working near walls, kerbstones, edges, and other obstacles.
Controlled operation with less debris spread
The optionally available protective cover limits the spread of loosened weeds, soil, and dirt. It can be swung out to the side so that the swept material is deposited in a windrow. This makes subsequent collection and disposal easier.
Precise work on joints, edges, and kerbstones
The brush carrier can be repositioned directly via a hand lever using the lateral quick adjustment. This allows the AS 60 E-WeedHex AP to reach joints, wall edges, kerbstones, and hard-to-access border areas without the need to reposition the entire machine.
Easy to manoeuvre and stable in straight-line operation
The ball-bearing, pneumatic tyres help overcome kerbstones and uneven surfaces. The balanced weight distribution makes manual pushing and precise machine guidance easier.
For longer work steps in a straight line, the wheel axle can be locked with folding pins. This reduces lateral forces and helps the machine maintain the desired working direction better.
One battery system for multiple professional AS-Motor machines
The two AP batteries are directly accessible and can be swapped in a few simple steps if needed. Existing batteries approved for the respective machine from the STIHL AP System can also be used for the AS 60 E-WeedHex AP.
The battery system is also used in the more compact AS 30 E-WeedHex AP and the professional mulching lawn mower AS 510 E-ProClip A AP. Professional users can thus use an existing battery system for various tasks, from mechanical weed removal to lawn care.
This simplifies battery management, reduces additional investments, and increases the utilisation of existing batteries and chargers.
Availability
The AS 30 E-WeedHex AP, AS 60 E-WeedHex AP, and AS 510 E-ProClip A AP will be available from the 2027 season through authorised AS-Motor specialist dealers.
Further information on the new models, system compatibility, and market launch will be published before the sales start.
