Crawler mower vs wheel mower for orchard maintenance — which to buy?

The right choice depends on orchard terrain, soil conditions, tree spacing, and the amount of vegetation.

Crawler lawn mowers

Tracked mowers are generally better for:

Sloping orchards and hilly farmland.

Wet or muddy soil.

Uneven ground and loose surfaces.

Dense weeds and difficult vegetation.

Areas where traction and stability are priorities.

Wheel lawn mowers

Four-wheel-drive models are suitable for:

Relatively firm orchard ground.

Regular grass maintenance.

Flat or moderately sloping terrain.

Operations requiring frequent turning and maneuvering.

LEGAO offers a 550 mm four-wheel-drive remote-controlled mower with a listed climbing capacity of 35°. Its tracked 550 mm model is listed with a climbing capacity of 45°.

My recommendation is straightforward: choose a wheel mower for relatively firm orchard ground and a crawler mower when traction and slope performance are more important.
