BLUEBIRD FM 24-70 Remote Control Mower

Mow Without Boundaries Using the Bluebird FM 24-70 Remote Control Mower

The Bluebird FM 24-70 Remote Control Mower is purpose-built for environments that push both machines and operators to their limits. Where steep slopes, thick vegetation, and unstable ground make traditional mowing unsafe, this powerful remote-controlled mower steps in with confidence. It is designed to let you work from a safe distance while still delivering the cutting strength required for demanding clearance tasks.

This remote slope mower is perfect for professional landscapers, councils, estates teams, hire fleets, and landowners facing challenging terrain. Every element of the machine has been expertly engineered to balance safety, productivity, and control. From its hybrid power system to advanced stability features, the FM2470 remote flail mower provides a dependable solution for work that would otherwise carry significant risk.

Hybrid Power System and Drive Performance

Powering the FM 24 70 is an advanced hybrid engine configuration that combines petrol reliability with advanced battery technology. A 452cc 4-stroke OHV Loncin engine drives the cutting system, delivering consistent performance even in dense or demanding conditions. This banks engine design includes both oil and fuel pumps, allowing the mower to operate reliably on steep inclines without compromising lubrication or fuel delivery.

The cutting system is supported by two 24V, 1,200W brushless electric motors, which control the tracked drive. These motors deliver smooth propulsion and excellent responsiveness, allowing the mower to handle uneven ground with confidence. It reaches a maximum travel speed of 47 metres per minute, giving steady progress without sacrificing control.

As the blades rotate, the onboard batteries are continuously recharged. This means the electric drive remains powered for as long as there is petrol in the tank. The hybrid system reduces mechanical strain and carbon emissions, while allowing longer working sessions without interruption.

Heavy-Duty Cutting Capability

The FM 2470 Bluebird mower is fitted with a 27-inch (685mm) cutting disc that includes two floating blades. These blades are designed to follow ground contours automatically, maintaining an even cut across uneven surfaces. Their robust construction allows them to deal confidently with thick grass, brambles, bracken, and other stubborn growth.

The slope mower uses its weight to push vegetation forwards before cutting. If the machine can force growth down, it will cut through it. This includes dense undergrowth and woody material, with the ability to tackle saplings up to around one inch thick and vegetation reaching shoulder height. Cutting height can be adjusted remotely between 30mm and 140mm, allowing quick adaptation to changing ground conditions.

This remote control mower is capable of cutting in both forward and reverse directions. This is especially valuable on slopes, as it removes the need to turn the machine, helping maintain stability and control during operation.

Tracked Stability and Slope Handling

Built for extreme terrain, the FM2470 remote mower can operate safely on slopes of up to 35 degrees. Its tracked undercarriage provides excellent traction on loose soil, wet grass, and uneven ground. Each track is 150mm wide, helping distribute weight evenly and maintain grip across challenging surfaces.

If the mower begins to climb beyond its safe working angle, the engine automatically shuts down while the tracks remain operational. This allows the user to guide the machine back to a safe position without losing control. An anti-tipping sensor activates at 45 degrees to further protect the mower during extreme movements.

In the unlikely event of a rollover, the cutting system stops instantly. These layered safety features work together to protect both the operator and the machine in high-risk work.

Remote Control and Operator Safety

All of the FM 2470’s functions are managed through an intuitive radio remote control. This handset allows the operator to start and stop the mower, control movement, and adjust cutting height with precision. The system offers a working range of up to 200 metres, keeping the operator well clear of hazards such as steep banks, unstable ground, and flying debris.

The remote control’s clear display screen provides real-time information on machine status, helping maintain user confidence even when the mower is operating out of direct sight. This remote operating system significantly reduces exposure to risk while allowing accurate control in tight or difficult areas.

Chains fitted to the front of the cutting deck help contain debris, preventing material from being thrown forward during operation.

Lighting, Dimensions, and Construction

The FM 2470 Bluebird remote mower is equipped with integrated LED headlights, improving visibility in shaded areas and low-light conditions. This makes it suitable for extended working days and sites with limited natural light.

The mower measures 990mm (length) x 1,150mm (width) x 610mm in height. With a total weight of 285kg, it has the mass required to remain stable in challenging conditions, while being compact enough for controlled manoeuvring in confined spaces.

Its solid construction and considered design make it perfectly suited to repeated professional use in demanding environments.
