AS-Motor offers solutions for sports facilities and golf courses
AS-Motor provides professional tools for the efficient maintenance of athletic facilities and golf courses.
Whether managing green areas around sports stadiums, car parks, embankments and the rough of golf courses, or delivering perfect mulching results on the sports fields and golf courses themselves, AS-Motor provides a variety of options for the professional maintenance of athletic facilities.
Application examples
Athletic facilities
Featuring various terrains and application areas, sports facilities require professional upkeep of green spaces. AS-Motor’s 2-stroke powered mowers are ideally suited for sloped embankments as well as high grass in peripheral regions. AS-Motor’s mechanical weed removal devices offer a chemical-free solution to the maintenance of car parks, walkways and paved areas at sports facilities.
The rough and lakes on golf courses
The rough often comprises three-quarters of a golf course’s total area. These areas must be maintained to prevent the encroachment of scrub while protecting native obstacles such as bushes and trees. AS-Motor’s walk-behind mowers provide precision and cutting power when mowing the rough, as well as uneven terrain and the slopes around lakes.

Ornamental lawns
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
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.
Mulching
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.
