Mate, there is some serious pieces of kit out there for vegetation clearing.
They also cost a bit of coin.

Thanks Hairs, sounds a good machine. I did raised with the brother the reliability and support with regards his machine.
The potential for council/RMS work would be a good outcome.

Hey Rags,
Cheers
This is an American built machine.
It was $11k, I ordered it in February, though Scintex.
https://www.scintex.com.au/.
I had for a long time, researched these kinda machines, the motors, cutting drive, build.
Even though it is alot more than a Chinese variant, I felt it was a better bang for buck, using it commercially.
Like a Cox zero turn, it is all fabricated, deck, chassis.
The Loncin LC1P96F engine has a pretty good rap, even if it does sh1t the bed, a replacement vertical drive, Honda/Briggs is available as a swap.
This is also, the next generation, it is 250mm wider, a twin cutter(not single), as the older model was.

I've submitted paperwork to the local council as a contractor(yeah I know they don't pay within 30 days), and also RMS(Main Roads).

Something I have to do,
Carry my own water for wash down, using a battery operated pressure washer( Makita make one, I have a ton of Makita 18v gear and 12v to 18v charger) if town water isn't available.
Cross grass contamination is a real thing.

My bad, with the url, sorry.

Soft Grass,
It wasn't to show how thick of grass it could cut, more so how it would not get bogged like a Zero Turn.
Besides, why would I want to try and cut 3 foot wet vegetation, not even the Zero Turn will do that.
RC, Remote control, Never said it was a robot

Great machine Hairs.
My brother got a similar machine imported direct from China, his is a petrol hybrid with an 80cm cut. Payed around $4000. Works great on his sloping riverside block.

You've got an extra "l" at the start of the "http", that shouldn't be there!

Pretty soft grass by the look!

Its not a robot, you have to actually drive it?

First small job with the RC Mower.
There would be no hope of getting a rideon, or a Zero Turn on this ground.
