JACK Mini: The compact remote-controlled mowing caterpillar for smaller areas
Robust tracked drive, 13 HP single-cylinder four-stroke gasoline engine, and only 61 cm in height for private slopes, small solar parks, and vineyard alleys with up to 100% slope.
The JACK Mini is a compact remote-controlled mowing caterpillar with tracked drive and mulching deck — designed for slope maintenance, where its larger brothers would be oversized. With a 13 HP Briggs & Stratton gasoline engine, infinitely adjustable cutting height from 30 to 100 mm, and an area performance of up to 2,000 m² per hour, it maintains smaller green areas precisely, safely, and economically. The ideal entry into the Jack family — compact, easy to transport, and simple to operate.
Why the JACK Mini is the right choice
Compact mulching cut
The JACK Mini is a compact remote-controlled mowing caterpillar with tracked drive and mulching deck. Designed for slope maintenance, where its larger brothers would be oversized. With a 13 HP single-cylinder four-stroke gasoline engine, infinitely adjustable cutting height from 30 to 100 mm, 65 cm cutting width, and an area performance of up to 2,000 m² per hour, it maintains smaller green areas precisely, safely, and economically. The ideal entry into the JACK family!
Slope suitability up to 100%
13 HP powerful 1-cylinder 4-stroke gasoline engine delivers a fine, even mulching cut in a compact design. The cut material remains as natural green fertilizer on the area (no transport, no reworking).
2,000 m²/h area performance
Continuously adjustable cutting height from 30 to 100 mm and balanced driving speed make smaller maintenance areas manageable in a short time.
Only 61 cm construction height
Continuously adjustable cutting height from 30 to 100 mm and balanced driving speed make smaller maintenance areas manageable in a short time.
Compact design for tighter areas
The lowest height of the JACK family. Drives under elevated PV modules with limited height, through narrow yard gates, and under low branches in orchards.
The JACK Mini was developed with a clear goal: an affordable entry into remote-controlled slope mowing, without compromising on safety and build quality. Unlike improvised solutions or converted consumer mowers, the JACK Mini is designed from the ground up as a compact professional mowing crawler — with the same service location in Styria as the larger models.
Inside, a 13 HP gasoline engine with electric start works for reliable starting in any weather. The robust chain drive ensures high traction even on wet or uneven ground — where wheels or tires would already be spinning.

Technical highlights of the JACK Mini
Engine & Drive
Thanks to a height of only 61 cm — the lowest in the JACK family — the JACK Mini can also operate under elevated photovoltaic modules with limited height, through narrow yard gates, and under low branches in orchards. This makes it the ideal solution for private customers with steep slopes, small solar park operators, and vineyards with narrow rows throughout Austria.

Where the JACK Mini shows its strengths
The JACK Mini is at home wherever the area is smaller, access is tighter, or the budget is tighter — and professional quality is still non-negotiable.
Private Steep Slope & Home Garden
The JACK Mini is at home wherever the area is smaller, access is tighter, or the budget is tighter — and professional quality is still non-negotiable.
Small solar park systems
Steep home garden areas, embankments on one's own property, and slopes that are too dangerous for a riding mower and too labor-intensive for a string trimmer.
Viticulture & fruit farms
61 cm construction height for module rows with tight mounting. Ideal for smaller PV systems, carport photovoltaics, and roof-mounted installations.
Cemeteries & community areas
Narrow paths, sensitive areas, and tight access between installations — where maneuverability and compact dimensions matter.
Hobby farming & alpine foreland
Narrow paths, sensitive areas, and tight access between installations — where maneuverability and compact dimensions matter.
Entry into the Mowing Service
For service providers who want to enter the segment with a compact, easily transportable machine before scaling up to mulchers or flail mowers.
Practical Example: Steep Slope in the Home Garden
For service providers who want to enter the segment with a compact, easily transportable machine before scaling up to mulchers or flail mowers.
On a private property in South Styria with a slope meadow of about 1,500 m² and slope inclinations between 40 and 65%, regular mowing was only possible for years with a string trimmer and physical effort.
The owner chose the Jack Mini. The area is now mowed in about 45 minutes. The fine mulch cut remains as a natural green fertilizer on the meadow, and no cuttings are removed.
Steep Slope Maintenance on Compact Areas
Result: less time required, no accident risk on the slope, significantly more predictable maintenance intervals, and professional technology from Styria on your own property.
The JACK Mini works reliably on slopes of up to 100% gradient. Thanks to its low center of gravity, wide tracks, and balanced weight distribution, the machine remains safe and controlled even on uneven slopes.
Versatile on narrow areas
With the remote control, you operate the Mini from a safe distance — ideal for private steep slopes, narrow embankments, and steep road edges, where ride-on mowers and tractors have long had to give up.
Whether it's a home garden steep slope, a small solar park row, or a narrow vineyard alley — the JACK Mini adapts to tight conditions and hard-to-reach areas. The compact mulch deck reliably shreds grass and light growth.
Simple remote control
With a low height of only 61 cm and compact overall dimensions, the Mini can also reach areas that cannot be worked on with larger machines.
The ergonomic remote control is intuitively designed: all important functions are directly accessible on the controller, and the training time is short. For entering remote-controlled slope mowing, the JACK Mini is thus the most accessible choice in the JACK family.

Frequently Asked Questions about JACK Mini
What is the JACK Mini?
The JACK Mini is a compact remote-controlled mowing caterpillar with chain drive and mulching deck. It is designed as an entry-level model of the JACK family — for smaller areas, private slopes, small solar parks, and narrow vineyard lanes. With 13 HP, a cutting width of 55 cm, and up to 70 % slope suitability, it offers professional technology in a compact design.
What areas is the JACK Mini made for?
The JACK Mini is the right choice for smaller slope meadows, private properties, smaller solar parks, narrow vineyard rows, and fruit plantations with tight alleys. Cemeteries, well-maintained community areas with narrow access roads, and hobby alpine templates are also typical areas of application.
How is the JACK Mini operated?
Via remote control from a safe distance. The operator never stands on the slope during the mowing process, but in a safe position. The safety equipment includes an emergency stop switch. The operation is intuitive and can be quickly learned even by beginners.
What is the area performance?
Up to 2,000 m² per hour, depending on vegetation, terrain slope, and desired cutting height. For a typical home garden slope of 1,000 to 2,000 m², expect an effective maintenance interval of around 30 to 60 minutes.
Can the JACK Mini be used under photovoltaic modules?
Yes, and better than any other JACK model. With a height of only 61 cm, the JACK Mini is the most compact model in the family and can operate under supports that would be too low for mulchers (76 cm) or flails (85 cm). Ideal for smaller PV systems, carport photovoltaics, and narrow module rows.
What cutting height is adjustable?
Continuously adjustable between 30 mm and 100 mm, for everything from short grass to taller wild meadows.
How heavy is the JACK Mini?
270 kg, light enough for transport with a standard car trailer and gentle on the ground during use. This makes the JACK Mini significantly lighter than mulchers (440 kg) and flail mowers (530 kg).
Mini, mulcher, or flail? Which model fits your area?
270 kg, light enough for transport with a standard car trailer and gentle on the ground during use. This makes the JACK Mini significantly lighter than mulchers (440 kg) and flails (530 kg).

The JACK Mini is the right choice for smaller areas, private slopes, small solar parks, and narrow vineyard alleys, where compact dimensions and easy transport matter. If your areas are larger and you regularly maintain meadows, slopes, or larger solar parks, the JACK Mulcher is the more suitable choice. For overgrown fallow land, alpine maintenance, and dense growth, the JACK Schlegel with Y-blades is the more robust tool.
