SW Ohio | How big of an area are you wanting to mow, how rough is it, and do you care about stripes or what it looks like?
I'm in the lawn irrigation business, and we have some customers switching to various robotic mowers. One guy owns a $15million+ landscape company and has 3 of them on his 4 acre yard and it looks like crap, once a month he has his own guys go in and mow to clean it up and lay stripes. Honestly the ones i've seen all suck if you're after a "pretty" yard. They leave an uneven cut, end up missing some spots, and just kinda go all over without any pattern to it. But they will keep the grass mowed without you doing it, which i'm assuming to most people is whats important. I believe they all require a boundary wire that has to be buried for the mower to follow, not sure if theres anything completely GPS based as i feel like it would have to be running on RTK to be accurate enough and not create issues. Husqvarna seems to be the most popular here, which i believe you can buy at Lowes or Home Depot.
The only autonomous mower i've seen thats truly impressed me is the Wright ZK Stander. Its GPS controlled and essentially runs like an autosteer system, you create your boundaries and then it follows AB lines. But we're talking about a $50k commercial lawnmower compared to a little $2k electric guy. LOL | |
