Atex 2WD Ride-on Brushcutter
Commercial-Grade Ride-On for Grass, Slopes, and Heavy Vegetation
The Atex R957 is a powerful 2WD ride-on brushcutter, purpose-built for safely mowing grass and vegetation on slopes up to 15 degrees. Unlike many standard ride-ons, the R957 is engineered for both rough embankments and conventional grounds, offering comfort, control, and cutting power in one compact unit.
Now featuring an industry-first front suspension system, the R957 delivers smoother operation even over rough terrain — perfect for councils, contractors, and large properties.
