No mention of how it handles obstacles; sticks, rocks, holes, small animals, etc. I mowed lawns for several years as a teenager using riding mowers similar to this. I can't count the number of times I had to stop, get off, move a stick so it doesn't jam the blades, move a rock so it doesn't get flung into a nearby window...or even just slow down because the grass was too thick for the mower to handle. It strikes me as having some of the same issues my robot vacuum has. When I have to constantly get it unstuck from a lamp cord or a loose rug, it starts to become more trouble than it's worth.
- pmontra 4y agoI had my share of pain with those obstacles. That was my first thought when I saw this project. The workaround, which I didn't implement yet, is to build a smooth and clean garden. Of course branches fall, ants build, all sort of animals dig, bushes grow id you give them a couple of weeks at the wrong time of the year, etc. That lawnmower is also much bigger than mine.
- orionion 4y agoThe neighbor lady toss rocks on your lawn from working in her flower bed. Neighbor kids leave toys, tennis and golf balls and... claw hammers!!! (forgotten in the grass after building their secret day fort in your back yard). Wine bottles from the other neighbors garden party. A hiking boot from... I have no idea!!! And don't forget stuck sprinkler heads. Spray paint cans from the local juvenile delinquents... On and on...
- googlryas 4y agoIt sounds like you have some really horrible neighbors. Not the neighbor kids but everyone else.
