A remote-controlled mower rated for 8,000–10,000 m²/h, specified for ground that is too steep, too soft or too exposed to put an operator on.

1. What the T40S Is Built For

The VOER T40S is a remote-controlled mower defined by three figures on its specification sheet: a 1,350 mm cutting width, a rated climbing angle of up to 55°, and a working efficiency of 8,000 to 10,000 m²/h. Read together, those three numbers describe a single job — holding steep, uneven or hazard-adjacent ground in a regular cutting cycle without putting an operator on the slope.

Power comes from a Yanmar engine rated at 38.3 HP from 1,642 cc, with a 28 L fuel tank. Drive is provided by a POCLAIN hydrostatic transmission and the cutting deck runs Y-type blades. The operator works from a hand-held remote with a range of 300 m (984.25 ft).

That combination separates the T40S from the small end of the remote mower market. A machine in the 15 HP class exists to replace a push mower on a bank. The T40S is specified to take over the work of a tractor-mounted or ride-on mower on the same ground, at a comparable working rate, with nobody in the seat.

3. What the Headline Numbers Mean in the Field

• Cutting width of 1,350 mm. That is 53.15 in., wider than most remote-controlled mowers and close to the deck of a compact ride-on. On large banks and verges the width is what decides how many passes a job takes, so it sets the labour cost of the contract more than any other single figure.

• Climbing angle up to 55°. Slope capability is the reason this class of machine exists. It is also the figure that should be read most carefully, because the angle a machine can hold depends on ground condition as much as on the specification — wet grass, loose gravel and soft turf all reduce what is achievable on the day.

• Working efficiency of 8,000–10,000 m²/h. That is 0.8 to 1.0 hectare per hour, which is the figure to use when costing a contract. Divide the area of the job by the working rate to get machine hours, then compare that against the hours a ride-on or a tractor-mounted mower would need.

• Mowing height of 30–90 mm. A 1.18 in. to 3.54 in. range covers maintained amenity turf at the low end and rougher grass cover at the high end. On slopes the higher settings are generally the practical choice, since longer grass holds moisture and loses grip.

• 38.3 HP from 1,642 cc, EPA / Euro 5. This is a commercial-duty engine and a certified one, which matters for two reasons: it carries the power to run a 1,350 mm deck through heavy grass, and the certification is what allows the machine to be registered and sold into EPA and Euro 5 markets.

4. Drive System, Cutting Deck and Remote Control

The T40S uses a POCLAIN hydrostatic drive. Hydrostatic transmission is the standard choice for this class of machine because it delivers torque smoothly and allows the machine to be held at a controlled speed on an incline, rather than relying on a gear range and a clutch. On slope work that control is what keeps the cut even and the machine predictable.

The cutting deck runs Y-type blades. Y-type blades are a robust pattern for mixed and rougher grass, and they suit ground where the mower will meet woody growth, small debris and uneven surfaces rather than a fine turf sward alone. The 30–90 mm cutting range and the Y-type blade together define the machine as a grounds maintenance tool rather than a lawn-finishing mower.

Remote control is rated to 300 m (984.25 ft). That distance is an operating limit, not a working method. The practical rule on every remote-controlled mower is to keep the machine in clear line of sight and to shorten the working distance wherever ground shape, trees or structures break the view. The specification allows the operator to stand clear of the cutting deck on a slope; it does not remove the need to watch it.

5. Where the T40S Fits

6. Engine Certification, Packing and Freight

The T40S carries EPA and Euro 5 engine certification. For importers and dealers this is a commercial qualification rather than a technical detail: it determines which markets the machine can be sold into without further homologation work, and it should be confirmed against the specific market requirements at the point of order.

Shipping figures are defined on the specification sheet. The machine measures 3,100 × 1,500 × 1,300 mm and weighs 1,250 kg (2,755.78 lb) net. It is packed to 3,400 × 1,600 × 1,220 mm with a gross weight of 1,700 kg (3,527.39 lb). Those numbers are what a freight forwarder needs to quote the shipment and to calculate container loading, so they are worth taking from the current specification sheet rather than from an older quotation.

7. Configuration Points Worth Settling Before the Order

• Blade set and consumables. Ask for the blade set, track or tyre wear parts and filters to be itemised with the quotation. Consumable planning starts on day one of ownership, and prices confirmed at the order stage are easier to budget than prices found mid-season.

• Engine configuration for your market. Confirm the engine variant and the emission documentation supplied with the machine match the market it will be registered in.

• Ground and grass survey. Record the steepest slope, the surface type and the grass height the machine will actually meet. The rated climbing angle is a specification; the achievable angle on your ground is a survey result.

• Spare machine or service access. On a machine that carries a season’s cutting on steep ground, decide in advance how a breakdown is covered and who holds the consumable stock.

• Operator training and remote practice. Remote operation is a skill. Time spent on a flat practice area before the first slope job is cheaper than time spent recovering a machine.

Safety note: This is a remote-controlled machine with a rotating blade. Keep people, animals and bystanders well clear of the cutting deck whenever the engine is running, and never treat the remote control as a substitute for physical distance. Wear eye and hearing protection when working near the machine, keep all blade guards and discharge shields fitted, and stop the engine before clearing a blockage or inspecting the deck. Work within the rated climbing angle, keep the machine in clear line of sight, and reduce the working distance wherever the ground or an obstacle blocks the view. Assess any slope before the first cut — wet, loose or soft ground changes the angle at which a machine can be held safely.

FAQ

What is the VOER T40S?

A remote-controlled mower with a 1,350 mm cutting width, a rated climbing angle of up to 55° and a working efficiency of 8,000–10,000 m²/h, powered by a 38.3 HP Yanmar engine with EPA / Euro 5 certification.

How wide does it cut, and how low can it go?

1,350 mm (53.15 in.) cutting width, with the cutting height adjustable between 30 mm and 90 mm (1.18 in. to 3.54 in.).

What does the climbing angle figure mean in practice?

It is the rated capability of the machine on suitable ground. The angle achievable on a specific site depends on surface, moisture and grass condition, and should be established on site before the machine is put to work on a slope.

What engine does it use, and is it certified?

A Yanmar engine rated at 38.3 HP from 1,642 cc, with EPA and Euro 5 engine certification. The fuel tank holds 28 L.

How far away can the operator stand?

The remote control range is 300 m (984.25 ft). Keep the machine in clear line of sight and shorten the working distance where the view is interrupted.

What blades does the cutting deck use?

Y-type blades, which suit mixed and rougher grass alongside maintained turf.

How heavy is the T40S, and how does it ship?

Net weight 1,250 kg (2,755.78 lb). Machine dimensions are 3,100 × 1,500 × 1,300 mm. It ships packed to 3,400 × 1,600 × 1,220 mm with a gross weight of 1,700 kg (3,527.39 lb).

Summary

The VOER T40S is specified around a 1,350 mm cutting width, a rated climbing angle of up to 55° and a working efficiency of 8,000–10,000 m²/h, with a 38.3 HP Yanmar engine, POCLAIN hydrostatic drive, Y-type blades and a 300 m remote control range. It is a commercial-duty machine for steep and awkward ground, and it should be judged on the working rate it brings to a contract rather than on purchase price alone.
