The AS‑Motor 800 FreeRider is a high‑performance ride‑on mower built to tackle demanding terrain, large parcels of grass, and challenging mowing conditions with ease. Designed for users who require both power and agility—think expansive estates, steep slopes, rough grass and larger garden areas—this 2025 model emphasizes durability, operator comfort, and efficient mowing.
At its heart, the machine features a powerful single‑cylinder petrol engine with a displacement of 344 cm³ and rated output of approximately 7.6 kW (10.3 hp) under standard conditions, and a maximum engine output of around 9.7 kW (13 hp) under heavy load. This engine combined with a hydrostatic variable transmission gives the FreeRider the ability to mow wide swathes of grass and keep steady pace even on uneven terrain.
The cutting deck of the 800 FreeRider is 80 cm wide, offering sizeable coverage in each pass and helping reduce total mowing time. The deck incorporates a closed mulching‑style design with cross‑blades, which allows for both rear discharge and mulching of grass clippings depending on your preference or lawn condition. Mowing height is centrally adjustable in 4 positions from approx 35 mm up to around 85 mm, enabling you to vary your lawn’s finish—from a shorter manicured cut to a longer, more natural look.
One of the standout features is the FreeRider’s agility and terrain capability. With a low centre of gravity, a broad tracked wheelbase, and a switchable differential lock, the machine can handle slopes, uneven ground and tougher mowing environments more reliably than many conventional ride‑ons. The hydrostatic transmission allows smooth forward speed up to about 8 km/h and reverse speed up to about 6 km/h, enabling you to maintain productivity while keeping control.
Operator comfort and usability are given strong focus. The seat is length-adjustable, providing comfortable legroom even for taller users; the steering wheel is ergonomically shaped; and the mowing deck is designed to allow safe operation even when clippings are tall or terrain is rough. The machine’s frame is a sturdy tubular design for durability in regular use.
Maintenance and durability are built‑in: the engine features both fuel and oil pumps, the deck is accessible, the tank capacity (around 15 litres) supports longer operation without frequent refuelling, and the closed deck design helps reduce debris scatter and improves safety. On top of that, the FreeRider is compact in its class (approx length 170 cm × width 87 cm × height 96 cm) meaning it needs less storage footprint than some larger ride‑ons.
This model is ideal for homeowners or professionals with large lawn areas (several thousand square‑metres), rough or high grass conditions, sloped terrain, and who demand a machine that can keep going with less oversight. Its combination of power, terrain ability, decent width, comfort, and durability make it a strong choice for serious lawn‑care tasks.
