Robot Lawn Mowers

[aBrick]

Got a mammotion luba 2. Works great! Got stuck loads at the start (my garden is very wild and messy) but seems to learn from its mistakes lol now will cut both gardens with no problem.

Are they the special order Council ones?
One mows while two send text messages, one sits in the van and the fifth one smokes a cigarette?

Also offset by the reduced tea bag expenditure!

The more recent ones don't need to be able to connect with your internet, and can cope with corners and rough terrain.
I've been looking into them and I've found this video very "useful".

I haven't even got a lawn, but I had to watch the video.

I'd prefer the girl in the thumbnail, but each to their own.

Our garden is right on the limit of what a mower can do, very steep slopes, weird shapes and lots of trees and other obstacles. We have a mammotion luba 2 and, whilst it can't do everything (no mower could), it does enough to reduce the workload substantially. You have to be patient setting it up and adjusting zones and suchlike until you've got it dialed in. However, on anything like a standard lawn with open areas and moderate slopes, I imagine it would do it with very little trouble.

The technology is improving all the time though, so once you add in tank tracks, lidar and much better navigation and control logic I'm hoping even our garden will be trouble free in a couple of years...

Ah, the Huw Edwards lawn care method!

I don’t get why anyone would want to automate this task, mowing the lawn is the most therapeutic thing you can do in my book.

Give me your address and I’ll come round, I’m already doing the lawn opposite our house. My goal is to one day have a need to own a sit on mower

I never get to use mine, dogs are always on it

Im looking at Husqvarna now.

 

[paddypaws]

I use Husqvarnas, a 430x which will do over an acre and a 105 for the smaller front grass. Both are really good but 6 years old so not the latest technology, doesn't matter though they do a great job, have saved me hundreds of mowing hours.

and over 6 years they've saved you a lot of petrol money too.

I'm with you on this, love cutting the grass, even more satisfying whrn youvget a nice stripe going on, or a diamond cut pattern.

 

[Fairy Cringe]

Concrete over yer lawn- bosh! I’ve just redesigned/redeveloped our garden. Mower went in the skip hammer throw style. Felt good watching the parabola flight path and huge crash as it landed. Gertcha!!
