Unleashing the Power of Razorback Mowers: A Deep Dive into the 4WD System and Shaft Drive Technology
Built for More Than Lawn Care
Razorback mowers are engineered to reclaim land, tackle overgrown areas, and conquer steep, rough terrain—not just trim the backyard. Whether you're clearing dense scrub, managing firebreaks before summer, or maintaining steep embankments, Razorback delivers the power and control to do the job safely and efficiently.
Let’s explore how Razorback’s advanced 4WD system and shaft drive technology make them the go-to choice for serious property work, not just lawn maintenance.
The 4WD System: Power Where It Matters
Razorback mowers feature a selectable 2WD/4WD drive system, allowing you to switch modes based on terrain conditions. Use 2WD for speed on flat ground, and switch to 4WD when navigating slopes, soft soil, or rocky terrain.
Rear diff-lock locks both rear wheels, offering maximum traction on uneven ground.
Low/high-range gearbox gives you extra torque for tough vegetation or faster speeds on clear runs.
Provides stability on slopes up to 25 degrees, reducing the risk of slips and rollovers.
These features make Razorback ideal for landowners, contractors, and councils dealing with challenging terrain, overgrown land, and seasonal fire-risk areas.
Shaft Drive: Built to Last
Unlike belt-driven mowers that wear out and require frequent maintenance, Razorback’s shaft drive system offers:
Direct power transfer from engine to blades—more torque, less energy loss.
Fewer moving parts, which means less maintenance and greater durability.
A more consistent cut, even through thick scrub or tall grass.
This makes Razorback mowers not only powerful but cost-effective, reducing downtime and long-term servicing costs.
The Razorback Advantage: Designed for Tough Australian Conditions
When paired together, the 4WD traction and shaft drive durability give Razorback mowers a unique edge. These machines are built to operate where others can’t—whether it's reclaiming paddocks, managing roadside vegetation, or handling sloped bush blocks.
Ideal for:
Reclaiming overgrown or neglected land
Creating or maintaining bushfire breaks
Navigating hills, gullies, and difficult terrain
Ongoing maintenance of acreage or steep blocks

What Users Are Saying
"Absolute beast of a machine! I’m using it on a super hilly property (20° angle) for mowing and towing my chipper. Amazing all-terrain machine – love it and it’s easy to operate. The diff lock and 4WD options give me full control, and I added a rear winch for extra pull. Total game-changer."
