Holy smokes, y'all, I saw the coolest remote control mower yesterday! It wasn't really a robot, per se, as there was a fella walking around about 10 yards behind it with a big ol' remote control in his hands.

The device was mowing a slope -- steep enough that I don't think any of us would want to ride a tractor or a zero-turn on it. I saw it a couple of seconds before I saw the (remote) operator.

It looked like this, sort of:


The bulk of it was orange, so I assumed it was a Husqvarna product, but I haven't looked into that yet.
When I was researching my RC mower that was one of the mowers I checked out because it’s based on a zero turn.

Unfortunately the guy was great at engineering and terrible at business and collected a bunch of deposits and only delivered a few mowers and kept the big down payments.

I aways bought a good quality rider with a maintenance agreement because I liked to mow the grass. I would put on my headphones and ride like the wind. I even enjoyed trimming and weed whacking too.
The only time I did not like it was when it was very hot and humid. A robot would have killed the joy for me.

John Deere was at one time working on a G.P.S. "smart "mower.

I.i.r.c. it went from 21" cut to 32" cut and from gas to electric
And from rear wheel to front wheel drive
With whispers of a 4 w.d. model.

Four years went by and it went from manufacturing in America to over seas

That was three years ago.
Have not seen them around here at all




Safety, Situational Awareness and proficiency.

Juan eliminates all yardwork, does a damn good job, and costs about $40 every two weeks.

You must have a postage stamp. The Juan’s around here learned from hanging out in front of Home Depot that they should be making $40-$60 an hour, cash.

Virginia Aviation Museum had a couple of them running when I was there last week,

grass looked fine, but you could see where they were programmed to not go, or could no go due to the terrian

My fathers last project before passing last year. He didn't like the turning, so he removed the two front drives.

Astro turf.

I told my wife that we should just call the concrete truck and paint it all green.

Does this mean you need to purchase a new battery every year? Confused
