The Spider is a remote-controlled self-propelled mower for the maintenance of steeply sloping areas such as embankments, roadsides and hillsides; areas that are otherwise typically maintained by teams of brush-cutter operators or tractor-powered reach mowers. Although referred to as a mower, it performs more like a remote-control slasher, is a regular comment from those attending demonstrations. It capable of cutting waist-high growth, thick and wet kikuyu, weeds and small shrubs and regrowth. The Spider Mower cuts slopes up to 40 degrees with its 4-wheel drive lugged tyres, and up to 55-degree slopes with its optional winch system.

- Kawasaki FS 541V Vertical crankshaft V-twin air-cooled 4 stroke 2-cylinder engine, producing 18 hp at 3600 rpm
- The engine runs on standard unleaded or premium 95 octane unleaded for maximum performance
- Alloy construction fits into the overall Spider design philosophy of light weight package for optimal power to weight ratio
- Electronic spark ignition for reliable starting and performance
- Pressurised lubrication system for long life on slope conditions
- Dual element air cleaner and dual barrel carburettor with fuel shut-off solenoid
- Rotating grass screen to assist effective engine air-cooling
- Cast iron cylinder liners
- Separate choke and throttle controls for easier starting
- Electric starter with a 12-volt on-board battery and electrical system
- 12 litre fuel tank capacity providing between 3 & 5 operating hours depending on slope and conditions
- The deck body and super structure is made from aluminium alloy to obtain minimum overall weight of 288kg
- The vertical engine crankshaft is coupled to an electric clutch for engagement/disengagement of the belt driven cutting blade
- The clutch unit incorporates a brake device to stop blade rotation on disengagement
- Cutting is done by 4 single mulching blade 780mm long (31 inches)
- Overall cutting width is 850mm (34 inches)
- The mulching blade is set well within the deck body to minimise the ejection of grass and debris during mowing. The blade is thick hard blade steel.
- A hydrostatic Sauer Danfoss drive system provides continuously variable travel speed in two speed ranges (turtle and rabbit modes) from 0 to 7 km/h, in forward and reverse
- All 4 wheels are driven by the hydraulic motors. All speed, steering and direction controls are located on the operator's wireless remote control
- Steering is 360 degrees on all 4 wheels without lock-to-lock limits
- Tyres are lugged 16x6.5x8 tube tyres
- The Spider Mower can cut on slopes up to 40 degrees under its own wheel drive
- Beyond these angles, the optional winch system must be utilised to ensure machine stability and safety
- The normal steering mode is referred to as the "dancing" step and is the mode normally used for mowing. In this mode all 4 wheels turn at the same time
- Other than the clearing of an Emergency-Stop and engagement of winch operation; all operator controls are performed through the wireless remote-control station
- The controller comes with a belt strap and is normally strapped to the operator as two-hand operation is required
- If the controller is dropped or all hands released, the controls revert to the neutral position and the Spider mower stops driving
- Controls include: engine start, stop and rpm; E-stop, forward/reverse speed control, steering controls, deck engagement/disengagement, height control

OPTIONS
- Integrated Winch System
- The winch is hydraulically powered and integrated with the drive system
- At extreme angles, the winch system provides machine stability, traction and prevents rollover
- The integrated winch control is automatically synchronised with the drive wheel control, and does not require any additional operator controls
- The winch also maintains the engine orientation to ensure engine lubrication
