Start with the narrowest access point.
Measure gates, bridges, trailer ramps and paths before deciding on a 550, 800 or 1200 mm cutting width. Cutting width is the working swath, not the overall width of the machine. For example, the detailed specification table for the H-550L-A lists a 550 mm mowing width and a 930 × 900 × 550 mm unit size; the H-800L-A lists 800 mm mowing width and 1100 × 1210 × 600 mm unit size. Compare both fields with the actual clear opening, allowing room for safe maneuvering.
Mark the tightest turn, not only the straight passage. A large deck may be unsuitable even when it physically fits through a gate.
Will a 550 mm remote mower fit through a 1 metre gate?
Check the full machine drawing. The H-550L-A catalog lists 900 mm overall width, leaving a nominal 100 mm difference against a measured 1000 mm opening. That arithmetic alone does not approve the route: hinges, latches, uneven ground, turning approach and the clearance required by the instructions still matter.
Can an 800 mm mower pass through the same gate?
The listed H-800L-D has an 800 mm cut but 1200 mm overall width, so it is wider than a 1000 mm opening. Compare H-550L-A and H-800L-D using machine dimensions, not the cutting-width labels. For orchard rows, also measure the usable corridor around trunks, irrigation and turns; see the orchard access guide.
Comparing mower widths in inches?
The catalog cutting widths of 550, 800, 1000 and 1200 mm are approximately 21.7, 31.5, 39.4 and 47.2 inches. These rounded conversions help compare working swaths; they do not change the model’s metric specification. For example, the H-550L-A’s 900 mm overall width is about 35.4 inches, wider than its 21.7-inch cut.
For a 36-inch gate, the opening converts to 914.4 mm. Against a catalog width of 900 mm, that leaves only a nominal 14.4 mm difference. Do not treat that arithmetic as a fit approval: measure the actual clear opening, approach, projections and required operating clearance. Ask for the current full drawing before planning access. NIST provides metric and US customary conversion references.
Width, weight and site conditions belong in the same comparison.
The H-550L-A is listed at 9 HP, 141 kg net and a 45° maximum gradient. The H-800L-A is listed at 16 HP, 245 kg net and 45°. The H-1200L Tank lists a 1200 mm mowing width, 27 HP, 394 kg net, 1630 × 1600 × 650 mm unit size and a 70° maximum gradient. These are three different catalog configurations, not a controlled productivity test. Their published slope numbers must be checked against the exact terrain and operating guidance.
A wider deck may reduce the number of passes on open land. Actual output depends on travel speed, turns, vegetation, obstacles, refueling and downtime. Do not multiply deck width by maximum travel speed and treat the result as a guaranteed hourly capacity.
Use packed size and gross weight for shipping.
For freight, the detailed model tables list H-550L-A packing at 1030 × 980 × 680 mm and 179 kg gross; H-800L-A at 1360 × 1420 × 750 mm and 325 kg gross; H-1200L Tank at 1700 × 1690 × 810 mm and 480 kg gross. Ask for a current packing list and confirm loading equipment, trailer payload and local transport requirements. A machine's net weight is not the crate weight.
Give the supplier measurements, not only a width preference.
For narrow entrances and smaller plots, begin with the 550 mm compact range. For mixed access and larger work, compare the 800 mm heavy-duty range. For broad sites with sufficient access and handling capacity, assess the 1200 mm Tank range. Send the minimum access width, terrain, vegetation, area, transport vehicle and target finish when asking for a recommendation.
