Slope Master SM-T4E

Commercial Land Clearing Slope Mower

The SlopeMaster may be a smaller machine than our other steep slope mowers for sale, such as the Super or Mega Slope Masters. However, don't let its size fool you. It’s still one of the best slope mowers in the industry! This heavy-duty steep slope mower handles transverse mowing on slopes up to 40°. Plus, due to its lighter weight and smaller size, it can get into areas that its two big brothers can't.

Small Mower, Big Features

The SlopeMaster is designed to cut grass and weeds on sloped and flat terrain. It has a powerful 25 HP Yanmar water cooled turbo diesel engine. Additionally, it features a 1/4" thick steel, out-front, 60" cutting deck with three 3/8" thick blades. The skid steering mechanism features twin, closed loop hydraulic systems that offer the superior maneuverability and power required to cut steep slopes. This steep incline mower design offers a huge advantage over steering wheeled machines on both sloped and flat areas.

Zero-Turn-Radius

With the ability to transversely cut on a 40° slope, this true zero-turn-radius mower can trim around objects, and mow a swath 60 inches wide without leaving the slope! It will cut more area in a fraction of the time than your traditional tractor slope mower– and with maximum safety.

Safety Features

The SlopeMaster, like its larger, wide-area counterparts, is built with safety in mind. If the operator inadvertently leaves the seat, the mower is immediately braked.

The location of the operator's seat is also a safety feature, with the tilting seat placed at the rear extremity of the machine (farthest point away from moving parts of the engine or cutter deck) for easy dismount in an emergency situation.

Another safety feature is the front-mounted deck, so the operator's eyes are always looking forward. The deck supports the chassis from the front, while pivoting side to side to follow the contours of the turf.

Three Blade Styles

The SlopeMaster offers maximum versatility as both a rough cut and a finish cut mower. The standard flat blades are best for rough mowing. Flat blades allow the most powerful cut in heavy growth. The machine can be quickly converted to the optional high lift blades for finish mowing. The medium lift blade offers the best of both worlds. For the best results, the deck guards are lowered for maximum lift on the grass.

Tire Styles

The standard tractor tread tires can be replaced by the optional turf tread tires when the machine is to be used primarily for finish turf mowing on less steep slopes.
