MACHINE SELECTION GUIDE

How to choose a remote-controlled lawn mower or mulcher?

The right choice starts with the terrain. For regular grass cutting, maintenance of steep slopes and removal of woody growth you need different machines. At POGO MTECH we help you compare lawn mowers and mulchers according to slope, ground, vegetation, access and frequency of use. Before buying, you can check the selection on presentations in your field.

Remote-controlled lawn mower, robotic lawn mower or mulcher?

A remote-controlled lawnmower is operated by a person with a remote control. The operator selects the direction and speed while working and monitors the machine and the surroundings. Such are the POGO MTECH models. Autonomous robotic lawnmower, such as Mammotion models, independently maintains a certain area after appropriate settings. Remote control and autonomous mowing are therefore not the same way of working.

The mulcher is selected based on the type of vegetation and the cutting head. The MONSTER PRO 1000 uses Y-blades for mulching grass, undergrowth and smaller shrubs. The BOBER has a spiral cutting head for woody vegetation in its basic version. In dense vegetation, the choice of cutting system is more important than the width of the machine itself.

Which machine to choose for your terrain?

For regular mowing of the lawn, orchard or around the house

HOPPY 4×4 is a compact remote-controlled lawnmower with four-wheel drive and a cutting width of 55 cm. It makes sense for maintained lawns where maneuverability and access between obstacles are important. For steeper sections or difficult ground, suitability should be checked in the field and tracked models compared.

For steep slopes, narrow passages and varied plantations

SKK 55 cm up to 50° with Briggs & Stratton engine combines a 55 cm cutting width and a track drive. For the SKK 55 series, check the exact version: the model up to 35° and the model up to 50° are not the same. For a wider working width, also compare SKK 80 and SKK 100. In narrow passages, consider the entire width of the machine, not just the cutting width.

For rotary mowing of meadows, pastures and larger plantations

The COSMO series includes COSMO 60, COSMO 80 and COSMO 110. They differ in working width, dimensions, engine and other features. Compare the smaller version for limited space, and the wider one for longer open strips. COSMO uses a rotary cutting system; MONSTER PRO with the same working width has a different, mulching head with Y-blades.

For orchards and vineyards, measure the narrowest passage and turning space. The cutting width tells you how wide a swath the cutting system will cover; for access, you need the external dimensions of the entire machine.

For tall grass, undergrowth and mulching overgrown areas

MONSTER PRO 1000 has a 100 cm mulching head with 60 Y-blades. It is intended for mowing and mulching dense vegetation and smaller bushes within the capacity of the attachment. When choosing, check whether grass or woody growth predominates. MONSTER PRO is a separate series from the older MONSTER models.

For woody growth, bushes and clearing overgrown land

BEAVER is designed in its basic version for removing woody vegetation with a spiral cutting head 80 cm wide. It is not the basic choice for regular lawn mowing. Before selecting, please send photos of the overgrowth, information on the thickness and type of vegetation, and a description of the access. On this basis, we check the suitability of the machine and the head.

For utility companies and intensive professional work

SUPER MOWER is a professional remote-controlled machine with a YANMAR diesel engine, hydrostatic track drive and a standard 135 cm wide head. For municipalities, contractors and infrastructure managers, in addition to the type of terrain, we also assess the daily volume of work, machine transport, selected attachment and service needs.

Comparison of POGO MTECH lawn mowers and mulchers

The table is a starting point for a shortlist. Please check the detailed specifications and current price on the linked page of each product.

How to consider slope and base when choosing?

The maximum stated slope is not a guarantee of suitability on every surface. Traction, moisture, holes, obstacles, direction of travel and the selected attachment all affect the work. Follow the instructions for the exact machine design and the actual conditions. A more powerful or expensive model also does not automatically mean a higher permissible slope.

Degrees (°) and slope percentage (%) are not the same unit. When making an inquiry, please state how the slope was measured, or attach measurements and photos. We also need information about the steepest part of the surface to make a decision, not just the average of the entire plot.

How to compare degrees and percentages of slope?

The slope in percent is calculated as the height difference divided by the horizontal distance multiplied by 100. A rise of one meter per meter of horizontal distance is 100 % or 45°. The distance along the slope is not the same as the horizontal distance.

Unit conversion helps to understand the specification correctly. You should still check the suitability of the machine according to the instructions of the exact implementation and according to the actual field conditions.

What do we check at the presentation before buying?

On field presentations We check the access, traction, maneuverability and mowing results on your area. This way we can compare expectations with the actual work and choose the most suitable model. Please check the current price and presentation conditions upon appointment.

To prepare a recommendation, send us:

• location and approximate size of the area;
• photographs or a short video of the terrain and overgrowth;
• maximum slope with the indicated unit of measurement;
• type, height and, in the case of woody vegetation, also the approximate thickness of the vegetation;
• the width of the narrowest passage and obstacles and special features of the surface;
• frequency of mowing, purpose of use and approximate budget.

What to include in a quote comparison?

In addition to the price of the machine, compare the selected version and cutting head, included equipment, VAT, delivery, machine preparation, presentation and service support conditions. Also check the price and availability of blades, belts and other consumables. The same working width or similar model name does not mean the same equipment.

When transporting, check the external dimensions and weight of the machine with the selected attachment and the suitability of your vehicle or trailer. For actual performance, also take into account turning, obstacles, lane overlap and vegetation density; the maximum values stated do not mean the same result on every plot.

Frequently asked questions before purchasing

Does the remote-controlled lawn mower mow itself?

POGO MTECH models are operated by an operator with a remote control during operation. For independent lawn maintenance, check Mammotion robotic lawnmowers and the suitability of each model for your garden.

Is SKOKICA the right choice for every slope?

No. SKOKICA is primarily intended for agile lawn maintenance. If the terrain requires more traction or exceeds the model's limitations, we compare tracked mowers. It makes sense to check the suitability with a demonstration.

What is the difference between SKK 55 to 35° and SKK 55 to 50°?

These are different versions. The SKK 55 to 50° model is linked on this page to the version with a Briggs & Stratton 344 cm³ engine. When making an offer, please check the full designation, engine and technical data of the exact selected machine.

Which model is suitable for blackberries and bushes?

The choice depends on the density, woodiness and thickness of the overgrowth. For mulching grass and undergrowth, we compare the MONSTER PRO, and for woody vegetation, the BOBER or an appropriate professional head. For a recommendation, we need photos of the actual terrain.

Can I mow rocky terrain?

Rockiness can limit the machine's suitability and damage the cutting system. Please send photos and describe whether it is individual rocks, exposed rock or a predominantly rocky surface. We do not confirm suitability based on slope alone.

How much does a remote-controlled lawn mower cost?

The price depends on the model, version, equipment and current conditions. Current prices with VAT are published at POGO MTECH models. For a comparable offer, please also specify the connection and delivery location.

Are service and spare parts available in Slovenia?

POGO MTECH provides service support and supply of spare parts. To check the appropriate part, please provide the model, serial number and photo. We will check the availability and delivery time of the specific part upon request.

How do I check the warranty and delivery time?

Please check the warranty conditions for the selected model and components in the offer and warranty documentation. Any limited-time promotions have their own conditions. We will confirm the current delivery time upon request.
