Remote Control Slope Mowers for
Steep Hills

Tracked Chassis

• Grip: Wide rubber tracks distribute weight evenly — maximum traction on slippery or loose surfaces
• Slope rating: Handles 50-60° inclines that would be impossible for wheeled machines
• Stability: Low center of gravity keeps the machine planted on steep terrain
• Best for: Steep hills, river banks, embankments, rough/uneven ground

Wheeled Chassis

• Speed: Faster ground speeds on flat terrain — covers more area per hour
• Slope rating: Suitable for gentle to moderate slopes up to 35°
• Weight: Lighter machines are easier to transport and load
• Best for: Flat gardens, moderate inclines, large open areas

Residential Slope Mowers

• Compact tracked models for gardens under 5,000 m²
• Handles slopes up to 50° with 550mm cutting width
• Lightweight enough for one person to load and transport
• Lower purchase price with reliable performance

Commercial Slope Mowers

• Heavy-duty tracked chassis for daily use on steep terrain
• Wider cutting decks (800-1000mm) for faster coverage
• Industrial engines rated for continuous commercial operation
• Advanced safety features for compliance with workplace regulations

What is a slope mower?

A slope mower is built for inclines that a ride-on or push mower cannot handle safely. Remote control slope mowers with tracks are unmanned crawler machines driven from up to 500m away, so no operator rides on the hill. Wide rubber tracks and a low center of gravity keep the machine gripping steep, uneven ground.

How steep can a remote control slope mower go?

Most tracked remote control mowers handle inclines from 0° to 50°. The SH-800DL is rated for slopes up to 60°, and wheeled machines are limited to about 35°. The real limit also depends on ground conditions, soil moisture and track wear.

Are tracked slope mowers better than wheeled mowers on steep hills?

Yes on steep or slippery ground. A tracked chassis spreads the weight and stays stable on inclines of 50° to 60°, while wheeled models are limited to gentle slopes up to about 35°. On flat, open lawns a wheeled mower is still the simpler choice.

How much does a slope mower cost?

Remote control tracked slope mowers cost between $1,488 and $2,860 EXW factory, from the SH-550B to the SH-800DL. Across the wider market, slope mowers run from about $2,500 for residential models to $15,000+ for industrial machines. Prices exclude freight, import duties and local VAT.

What is the best slope mower for steep hills?

The SH-800DL tank tracked mower handles the steepest terrain in our range: 800mm cutting width, 16 HP engine and a 60° slope rating. For residential banks and smaller hills, the SH-550B with a 550mm cutting width and a 50° rating offers better value.

Are remote control slope mowers safe to use?

Yes. The operator stands up to 500m away from the machine, so there is no rollover risk and nobody works on the slope. Emergency stop, a stable signal connection and tilt protection keep the mower under control at all times.
