Searching for an AWY-550 lawn mower and comparing it with MERI? The AWY-550 is a compact 550 mm tracked mower. MERI’s T-Series gives commercial grounds teams three published cutting-width choices—550, 650 and 900 mm—so you can size the machine to access routes and daily coverage instead of forcing every job into one width.
Quick answer: Both manufacturers list a 45° gradeability figure for relevant models. The clearest MERI advantage is choice: ME550-T, ME650-T and ME900-T cover 550–900 mm. The ME900-T cuts a 350 mm wider strip per pass than a 550 mm deck. Confirm complete machine dimensions, current configuration and operating limits before ordering.

MERI T-Series: three widths for different sites
MERI’s current T-Series lineup includes the ME550-T at 550 mm, ME650-T at 650 mm and ME900-T at 900 mm. Applicable T-Series models are listed for slope work up to 45°. The range lets a buyer select a compact deck for narrow access or move to a wider cut for open grounds and repeated maintenance routes.
| Buyer comparison | AWY-550 | MERI T-Series |
|---|---|---|
| Cutting width | 550 mm | 550 / 650 / 900 mm |
| Published gradeability | 45° | Up to 45° for applicable models |
| Published mowing rate | 1,500 m²/h on AWY product page | Task-dependent; request model-specific TDS |
| Machine footprint | 960 × 930 × 560 mm published overall size | Confirm exact model and configuration dimensions with MERI |
| Range choice | 550 mm model shown | Three published working-width options from 550 to 900 mm |
MERI’s practical edge is range choice. A 900 mm deck is 350 mm wider per pass than a 550 mm deck. Where routes are open and the complete machine fits, that width can reduce the passes needed across a lane. Where gates or rows are tight, the 550 mm option keeps the choice compact. Measure the complete chassis: deck width alone does not tell you whether the machine will pass through a gate.
Choose by access, workload and finish
- Measure all access points. Include gates, trailer ramps, narrow rows and headland turning room.
- Pick a width for the route. Compare 550, 650 and 900 mm against the narrowest section the machine must traverse.
- Describe the vegetation. Lawn maintenance, tall grass and rough growth are different cutting jobs.
- Validate the slope rating. Ask for safe operating guidance for the exact model and ground conditions.
- Compare matched documentation. Request dimensions, weight, engine, controls, cutting height, maintenance schedule and included equipment.
Which one should a commercial buyer choose?
Choose the AWY-550 if its single 550 mm configuration, footprint and published specification set match your route. Choose MERI when you want a clear path across three T-Series working widths, from a 550 mm compact mower to a 900 mm wider-cut machine. That is a measurable difference: MERI lets you step up by 100 mm or 350 mm of working width instead of shopping around one deck size.
For a fair purchase decision, compare the exact TDS and quotation for each delivered unit. AWY publishes a mowing-rate figure; MERI should confirm the output expectation for the selected T-Series model and your site.
Frequently asked questions
Does AWY-550 have the same width as a MERI model?
Yes. The AWY-550 and MERI ME550-T are both listed at 550 mm. MERI also lists 650 mm and 900 mm T-Series models.
Which machine has the higher published output?
AWY publishes 1,500 m²/h for AWY-550. MERI assesses T-Series output by task and configuration; ask for its relevant TDS and application guidance.
Are the 45° figures a guarantee for every slope?
No. They are published machine ratings, not a universal guarantee for every direction, surface, moisture level or vegetation condition.
