Fengte Expands RC Tracked Mower Line: Lithium, Diesel, and AI Robotic Models Now Available

Luoyang, China — 2025 — Luoyang Fengte Garden Machinery today announced a major expansion of its remote control tracked mower product lineup, introducing three distinct new categories: zero-emission lithium-electric mowers, heavy-duty diesel-powered flagships, and boundary-free AI robotic mowers. This strategic expansion brings the total model count to 20+, covering slope capacities from 30° to extreme 65°, with cutting widths spanning 500–1,350 mm.

Complete Product Portfolio Across Three Power Categories

The expanded lineup addresses diverse customer needs across residential, commercial, and municipal segments while maintaining Fengte’s commitment to CE, GS, and ISO 9001 certified quality.

FT-550L Lithium: Zero-Emission Slope Mowing for Regulated Markets

The FT-550L represents Fengte’s first battery-powered remote control tracked mower, designed specifically for noise-regulated estates, eco-certified vineyards, and environmentally sensitive applications.

Key Specifications:

  • Battery: 24V 145Ah lithium-ion pack
  • Cutting Width: 550 mm
  • Maximum Slope: 45° (100% grade)
  • Remote Control Range: 680 meters
  • Runtime: 8+ hours on single charge
  • Weight: 137 kg
  • Emissions: Zero direct emissions

The FT-550L delivers identical performance to gasoline counterparts while eliminating exhaust emissions and reducing operational noise by up to 60%. The lithium battery pack features integrated BMS (Battery Management System) for optimal charging cycles and extended lifespan exceeding 2,000 charge cycles.

Ideal Applications:

  • EU noise-regulated residential estates
  • Organic and biodynamic vineyards
  • Eco-certified parks and nature reserves
  • Indoor or semi-enclosed facilities
  • Early morning operations in noise-sensitive areas

FT-40 Large: Heavy-Duty Diesel Flagship for Extreme Conditions

The FT-40 Large stands as Fengte’s most powerful remote control tracked mower, engineered for large-scale commercial operations demanding maximum productivity and durability.

Key Specifications:

  • Engine: 38.3 HP Yanmar diesel engine
  • Cutting System: 1,350 mm Y-type flail deck
  • Material Capacity: Mulches branches up to 30mm diameter
  • Maximum Slope: 55°–60° (143% grade)
  • Drive System: Full hydrostatic transmission, 0–9 km/h
  • Operating Weight: 1,250 kg
  • Track Width: 200 mm high-flange design

The FT-40 Large’s full hydraulic drive system eliminates belt slippage entirely — a critical advantage when operating on steep slopes where traditional belt drives lose efficiency. The massive 1,350 mm cutting deck processes thick vegetation and small trees simultaneously, making it ideal for land clearing, solar farm maintenance, highway embankments, and large orchard operations.

Ideal Applications:

  • Solar farm vegetation management
  • Highway and railway embankments
  • Large-scale orchard floor management
  • Land reclamation projects
  • Municipal park maintenance
  • Forestry right-of-way clearing

AI Robotic Line: FT-V500, R1000, R3000, N2000 — Boundary-Free Autonomous Mowing

Fengte’s new AI robotic mower series eliminates perimeter wire installation through advanced GPS and computer vision navigation. Four models cover residential lawns from 500 to 3,000 m².

Model Comparison:

Model Coverage Area Max Slope Battery GPS Anti-Theft WiFi+BLE
FT-V500 500 m² 35% (~19°) 20V 5Ah No Yes
FT-R1000 1,000 m² 35% (~19°) 20V 10Ah Yes Yes
FT-R3000 3,000 m² 35% (~19°) 40V 10Ah Yes Yes
FT-N2000 2,000 m² 35% (~19°) 20V 10Ah Yes Yes

Core Features Across All Models:

  • Boundary-free operation: No perimeter wire installation required
  • AI path planning: Efficient coverage patterns minimize missed spots
  • WiFi + BLE connectivity: Smartphone app control and monitoring
  • GPS anti-theft: Real-time location tracking (R1000 and above)
  • Auto-scheduling: Programmable mowing schedules via app
  • Rain sensor: Automatic return to charging station
  • Obstacle detection: Ultrasonic sensors prevent collisions

Important Note: AI robotic mowers are designed for maintained residential lawns with slopes not exceeding 35% (approximately 19°). For steeper terrain or overgrown vegetation, RC tracked mowers remain the appropriate choice.

RC Tracked vs Robotic: Understanding the Right Choice

Customer confusion between remote control tracked mowers and autonomous robotic mowers is common. The distinction is straightforward:

RC Tracked Mowers (FT-550S, FT-550Y, FT-40 Large, FT-800D):

  • Slope capacity: 45°–65° (100%–214% grade)
  • Vegetation type: Thick grass, weeds, small brush, overgrown fields
  • Operation mode: Real-time remote control by skilled operator
  • Application segment: Commercial, municipal, industrial
  • Purchase consideration: Performance, durability, safety features

AI Robotic Mowers (FT-V500, R1000, R3000, N2000):

  • Slope capacity: Maximum 35% (~19°)
  • Vegetation type: Regularly maintained lawn grass only
  • Operation mode: Fully autonomous, unattended operation
  • Application segment: Residential homeowners
  • Purchase consideration: Convenience, automation, set-and-forget

The Dividing Line: If your slope exceeds 20° or you need to clear thick vegetation, you require an RC tracked mower. Robotic mowers excel at maintaining already-manicured lawns on relatively flat terrain.
