AS-Motor ofrece soluciones para la viticultura
Anteriormente realizado con duro trabajo manual, el cultivo y mantenimiento de viñedos ha sido significativamente mejorado por la tecnología de laderas de AS-Motor.
El cultivo de viñedos es una de las prácticas agrícolas más antiguas en la historia de la humanidad. Así, la viticultura no solo es una tradición cultural en muchas regiones, sino que también se ha convertido en un importante estilo de vida. La viticultura sostenible ha cobrado una importancia creciente en las últimas décadas: la cobertura vegetal permanente mejora la estructura del suelo y reduce el peligro de lixiviación de nitratos y erosión. Desde la producción del primer AS-Motor Allmäher en 1961, las segadoras de AS-Motor están especialmente diseñadas para abordar las empinadas laderas y el espeso crecimiento de los viñedos.
Ejemplos de aplicación
Cubierta vegetal permanente y estacional
Los viñedos se cultivan en laderas en muchas de las regiones vitivinícolas del mundo. AS-Motor ofrece diversas soluciones para el corte en laderas, incluyendo dispositivos de mulching para áreas con crecimiento especialmente espeso.
La tecnología de mulching proporciona la robusta potencia de corte necesaria para triturar vides espesas y podas, devolviendo el mulch al suelo como nutrientes absorbibles.

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.
High meadow grass
Extensively used meadows such as orchards, compensation areas, or roadside greenery are deliberately mowed only once or twice a year. The vegetation reaches heights of 60 to over 100 cm and forms dense, structurally rich stands.
This form of maintenance serves to keep the area open and suppress woody plants, not to maintain the lawn. Machines with high throughput, uniform cutting performance, and controlled deposition of the cut material are required. This is the only way to efficiently manage large amounts of biomass without overloading the area or damaging the soil and vegetation.
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.
Uneven terrain
Animal burrows, anthills, mole hills and water channels cause uneven terrain. Several AS-Motor machines have high ground clearance, all-wheel drive and limited slip differential, along with appropriately studded field tyres, for uneven terrain.
Slopes
AS-Motor engineers machines with high ground clearance, steep ramp angles, low overall weight, optimal weight distribution and a low centre of gravity to perform on slopes.
All-wheel drive
All-wheel drive not only ensures performance on inclines over 30 degrees, but also a high level of safety for travel downhill. All-wheel drive delivers propulsion in wet conditions and on uneven terrain – even if the wheels of one axle no longer have traction.
