YM-550 Remote Control Crawler Slope Mower (EPA & CE Certified)

YM-550 Remote Control Slope Mower: Take the Operator Off the Slope

Every year, rollovers on steep banks cause serious injuries to mower operators. Ride-on mowers become unstable on side slopes, and brush cutting by hand is slow, tiring and still puts crews on dangerous ground. The HONGTAI YM-550 Remote Control Slope Mower removes the operator from the hazard. Your crew controls driving, cutting height, engine start and shutdown from a safe position up to 1,000 meters (3,280 ft) away, while the machine works inclines of up to 45°.

The YM-550 is built for farm owners, orchard managers, municipal landscaping contractors and power-equipment dealers across North America and Europe who need a dependable slope mower that pays for itself in labor savings and lower risk. It is supplied factory direct from our manufacturing plant in China, with no middlemen between you and the production line.

Built for Safety on Steep Slopes

Remote Operation Eliminates Rollover Risk

Because nobody rides or walks behind the machine, an unexpected slip on a wet bank never puts a person at risk. The industrial-grade wireless remote control lets the operator stand on level, stable ground with a clear view of the work area.

Full Remote Engine Control and Emergency Stop

The RV225 gasoline engine has electric start, so the operator can start and stop the engine from the remote control, with no need to approach the machine on a slope. A one-touch emergency stop cuts drive and blade operation immediately, giving supervisors and site safety officers the control they expect on commercial job sites.

Low, Stable Crawler Platform

A low-profile chassis and wide footprint keep the center of gravity close to the ground. Combined with heavy-duty rubber tracks, the YM-550 holds its line across the slope instead of drifting downhill, and climbs and mows inclines of up to 45°.

All-Terrain Performance

• Industrial-grade rubber tracks spread the machine’s weight and grip wet grass, loose soil and uneven ground where wheeled mowers lose traction.
• 360° zero-turn steering lets the mower turn in place, making it easy to work between orchard rows, around solar panel posts, along ditches and in tight corners.
• Remote electric cutting-height adjustment sets the deck anywhere from 10 mm to 125 mm (0.4 – 4.9 in) without stopping, so one machine handles both routine lawn maintenance and overgrown vegetation.
• 2,000 m² per hour (about 21,500 ft² or 0.5 acre) of working capacity with a 500 mm (19.7 in) cutting width.
• Optional attachments: a front dozer blade for light grading, debris clearing and snow pushing, and a dedicated carrier rack for tools and supplies.

Frequently Asked Questions

How steep a slope can the YM-550 remote control slope mower handle?

The YM-550 is rated for a maximum climbing angle of 45°. Actual performance depends on ground conditions such as moisture, soil type and vegetation density, so always assess the site before work.

How far away can the operator stand?

The industrial wireless remote control has an operating range of up to 1,000 m (3,280 ft) under clear line-of-sight conditions. In practice, operators should keep the machine in view at all times.

Can the engine be started and stopped remotely?

Yes. The RV225 engine has electric start powered by a 24 V 12 Ah battery, so the engine can be started, stopped and shut down from the remote control, and a one-touch emergency stop is built in.
