Description
The Forestwest BM11163 90cm Remote Control Flail Mower is a tracked petrol mower designed for cutting and mulching long grass, weeds and overgrown vegetation across orchards, paddocks, gardens, slopes and uneven terrain. Remote-controlled operation allows the operator to control forward and reverse travel, steering and speed without manually pushing the mower.
Powered by a 420cc RATO 4-stroke petrol engine producing a rated 8.6kW (15HP), the BM11163 combines a wide 90cm cutting width with an adjustable 0–120mm cutting height. The flail cutting system is designed to cut and mulch vegetation while covering larger areas efficiently.
The durable thickened track system provides traction and stability across uneven ground, with a specified maximum walking slope of 35°. A 24V 20Ah battery powers the mower control system, while the 6.5L fuel tank supports extended mowing work between refuelling.
Key Features & Benefits
- Remote Control Operation: Control forward and reverse travel, steering and speed remotely, reducing the need to manually push or walk directly behind the mower.
- 90cm Cutting Width: Wide cutting path provides efficient coverage across paddocks, orchards and larger areas.
- 420cc RATO Petrol Engine: 4-stroke engine with a rated output of 8.6kW (15HP) for demanding vegetation control.
- 0–120mm Adjustable Cutting Height: Allows the cutting height to be adjusted for different vegetation and ground conditions.
- Tracked Drive System: Durable thickened tracks provide traction and stability across rough and uneven terrain.
- Up to 35° Walking Slope: Designed to operate on suitable sloping terrain within the specified operating limit.
- 24V 20Ah Control Battery: Provides power for the mower's remote control and electronic systems.
- 6.5L Fuel Tank: Provides practical fuel capacity for extended property maintenance work.
- 3km/h Walking Speed: Controlled travel speed suited to mowing and vegetation-clearing applications.
The BM11163 is particularly suited to orchards, paddocks, acreage, gardens, embankments and sloping areas where a conventional walk-behind mower may be difficult to operate. Its combination of remote control, tracked drive and flail cutting makes it a practical option for managing vegetation across challenging terrain.
If remote control operation is not required, consider the Forestwest BM11162 90cm Self-Propelled Flail Mower. For lighter grass mowing with a more compact remote-controlled machine, see the Forestwest BM11165 500mm Remote Control Lawn Mower.
