BLUEBIRD FM 24-70 Remote Control Mower

Bluebird FM 24-70 Remote Control Mower: Safely Goes Where No Other Mower Has Been Before

Built for the toughest mowing conditions, the Bluebird FM 24-70 Remote Control Mower is designed for operators who need power, reach, and reassurance in equal measure. From very steep banks to dense scrub, this machine is made to work where conventional mowers cannot safely go. It combines serious cutting strength with advanced remote control technology, allowing you to tackle demanding ground while keeping a safe distance at all times.

Ideal for professional landscapers, local authorities, estates management teams, and private landowners, the FM 24-70 mower is expertly engineered for heavy-duty vegetation control. It thrives in challenging environments where safety, stability, and productivity are essential. With its hybrid power system, robust tracked drive, and intelligent safety features, this remote mower delivers unbeatable performance across uneven and hazardous terrain.

Hybrid Engine System and Power Delivery

At the heart of the FM 24-70 mower is a highly advanced engine system that blends petrol power with electric propulsion. The machine uses a 452cc 4-stroke OHV Loncin engine to drive the cutting system, delivering strong and consistent output during demanding mowing work. This banks engine produces a maximum power output of 9.2kW, or 12.3hp, giving the mower the muscle needed for dense growth.

Track movement is handled by two 24V, 1,200W brushless motors, powered by integrated batteries. With a maximum speed of 47m/ min, these motors provide smooth and precise propulsion, even on steep or uneven ground. As the cutting blades rotate, the batteries are continuously recharged. So, as long as there is fuel in the tank, the batteries will never discharge during use.

This intelligent hybrid design reduces strain on components and supports longer working sessions. It also improves efficiency and lowers environmental impact. The result is a mower that feels responsive, balanced, and dependable throughout extended tasks.

Outstanding Cutting Performance

The FM 24 70 remote control slope mower is equipped with a 685mm (27-inch) cutting disc fitted with two floating blades. These blades automatically follow ground contours, delivering consistent results across uneven surfaces. Their robust design allows them to tackle thick grass, brambles, bracken, and other dense vegetation with confidence.

This flail mower uses its substantial weight to push vegetation forward before cutting. If the mower can push it down, it will cut it. This includes all manner of vegetation, woody growth and saplings up to around one inch thick, reaching roughly shoulder height. Cutting height is adjustable from 30mm to 140mm, and this adjustment is controlled directly from the remote handset.

The FM 2470 mower can cut both forwards and backwards. This removes the need to turn on slopes, improving control and reducing risk on challenging ground.

Stability, Tracks, and Slope Capability

Designed for extreme conditions, the FM2470 can operate on inclines of up to 35 degrees. Its wide tracked undercarriage provides excellent grip and stability across loose soil, wet grass, and uneven terrain. Each track measures 150mm wide, helping spread weight and maintain traction.

If the machine attempts to climb beyond its safe working angle, the engine will automatically shut down while the tracks remain active. This allows the operator to regain control and reposition the mower safely. An anti-tipping sensor activates at 45 degrees to further protect machine stability.

In the extremely unlikely event of a rollover, the blades stop immediately. These systems work together to protect both operator and machine in high-risk environments.

Remote Control Operation and Safety

The FM 24-70 Bluebird mower is operated entirely via an intuitive remote control system. This radio controller manages all key functions, including start, stop, movement, and cutting height adjustment. It allows control at distances of up to 200 metres, keeping the operator well clear of hazards.

A clear display screen on the remote provides real-time feedback on machine status. This ensures confident operation even when working out of direct sight. Remote control operation dramatically reduces exposure to flying debris, steep slopes, and unstable ground.

For added protection, chains cover the front of the cutting deck to prevent debris from being thrown forward during operation.

Visibility, Build, and Dimensions

Integrated LED headlights improve visibility in low-light conditions and shaded areas. This makes the FM 2470 slope mower suitable for long working days and poor visibility sites.

The machine measures 990mm (L) x 1,150mm (W) x 610mm (H) and weighs 285kg, giving it the mass needed for stability and cutting force, while remaining compact enough for controlled manoeuvring.

Its thoughtful design and robust construction provide the exceptional durability needed for demanding professional use.
