RC Self Made Slope Lawn Mower

This is made after 2 years of suffer pushing up and down. Average of my lawn is 35 degrees. I did not know anything about this and even know something similar exist. I have just type in KZbin search mowing slopes and everything starts. All informations about equipment and needed stuff I discovered at KZbin. And RC Lawn Mower was born. I made mine simplest possible. I have bought 2 pairs of INVACARE wheel chair motors same models with same specs, 2x32amps SaberTooth control unit, two 12V deep cycle GEL batteries with 65Ah connected in series to give 24V and Turnigy remote control. I take a part my Husqvarna completely and left only the body and HONDA engine. I have find some small agricultural tyres and wheels and put all together. Sounds simple and it is. I have made this video on 13th of june 2019. and this is 3rd year of usage. Everything works as first day.
Thanks to: KZbin and KZbin community

I have a flat yard with no issues at all... but now I NEED this

[@lookinforthebig1904]

Right flat bout 2 acres but man would it be way more fun to mow

[@levisalvini4110]

I bet you do!!! It's just awesome...

[@weed_zone4208]

That's what I'm saying imagine having a little flat yard maybe like your and striping with that 🔥🔥🔥 then imagine making an RC edger / weed eater lmao Traxxas weed eaters

[@voiceaddict]

This actually looks better than most of the commercial options. Thanks for sharing.

[@stuartnicholls7531]

I have worked in this field of mowing for 30 years and i must say this is the best ive ever seen, if i may make a comment i would desensitise the steering slightly.

[@ethansolomon4613]

Now add a GoPro so you can mow from your recliner !

[@jpiphus]

Agreed

Excellent! I really like the 4 wheel drive design and I totally agree with your intentions after seeing the slope in your yard.

[@brodieg8131]

I'm glad he never pointed the debris towards him very smart for the idea. And it works thats pretty cool.

[@georgetaylor8535]

This is the best built rc lawnmower on youtube. This guy is a really good engineer.

[@AChi__]

😮‍💨 But but but mine can still mulch, bag, side discharge, adjust the cutting height, tackle roughly about a 40 degree incline. All that said who am I kidding, his tackles that incline like a damn pro, while I have to be strategic to make mine tackle my incline...and yes, I 100% agree he wins for that alone 🤣. He did a great job with his 👍🏽

[@jstagzsr]

now add an fpv system so you can mow the lawn from your living room. lmao.. Dude this is amazing! If you built and sold these youd be a millionaire!

[@morphi5]

[@VictorPoulin]

[@ethansolomon4613]

With a simple interface, and GPS, you could mark your outer boundaries and let the computer mow the rest👍👍

[@r7kelley553]

Off the hook:-) I haven't heard that in years

[@jlucasound]

You owe it to yourself and your lawnmower to make that slope "golf course" like grass. That would be so satisfying. :-) Great Job. That Robot is awesome!

[@ekkertroman7563]

[@paulbland5539]

You need to get a patent for this and start rolling out production immediately there some big money to be made here for you bud

[@lynnwilliam]

[@bengunn3698]

[@wellseewho]

I like this design because it can drive very straight. Nice. The one I made (rear wheel drive with front swivel wheels) has a hard time staying straight.

[@zlatkoturcic3041]

U prvu si moja ima prednje kotače zakretne , pa kod bočnog nagiba malo bježi lakšim putem.

That's amazing imagine getting good enough to stripe with it and being a landscaper they choose that out to do the little yards efficient lol I love it I want my own

[@XJeepWerks]

Absolutely awesome. Make sure you put some sort of flap or chute on there to minimize the chances of it kicking up rocks into your windows.

[@DavidAA45]

Very nice all it needs is an onboard camera and your RC control with a monitor screen

[@jamiejoker118]

[@HenauderTitzauf]

My wife wants two of them! I don’t have the knowledge to make this, but, the lawnmower companies should and market this animal. Great idea, and execution! This is fantastic idea and all in one small package. You should patent this mower and it’s processes. If not, someone will steal your ideas and make a bundle of money. Great job! Where lawn chair and glass ice tea?!

[@Roha46]

Nice observation about patent but i collected all ideas on you tube and many mowers are similar. I built this one only because I could not push it up side down.....

[@rieilaful]

you need a self battery charge with alternator and 360° wifi camera on board.

[@siriosstar4789]

OMG that is sooo cool . Brilliant ! 💥 i really need something like that . i have a small hill that's steeper and i take my riding mower down , then go a long way around to the top and make another cut . it takes forever to finish and it's insane to do what i'm doing .

[@Smurphenstein]

I can imagine at parties people asking how you.mow such a steep lawn and you responding, 'dude, hold my beer".

[@OliveMule]

You're using the hold my beer meme wrong The hold my beer means that the person saying it is about to fuk up

[@toxicbear4792]

What a great build you did a excellent job

[@FD-E-St-Fire]

Put a little Lucas oil additive in to the oil, it will help the ware on some of the engine parts that have less oil when cutting the slope. I use Lucas when I cut slopes with my machines

[@hphillips7425]

Nice setup. It will do less damage to the ground and much safer than a ride on

[@FullThrottleMonty]

This is excellent. I've wanted to do something similar with my electric push mower, just to get the edges where the rider doesn't go. Closest I've come is towing it with my X-Maxx .

[@131dyana]

Thank you for making this and sharing it with us. Way to go guy.

[@toddbertram6556]

Setting it up with a skid steer option would increase your mobility, you could still use the wheel turn control as well, ot looks like your radio could handle an alternate mixed channel for skid steer mode.. this is an awesome build bud, nice work.

[@captainover-tighten6729]

That’s the cats ass. Top shelf project and video. Thanks for sharing

[@jmaus2k]

Well done! Might be easier to do now with an electric mower and tap into the mower battery instead of making mounts and adding batteries. Your design is great with batteries mounted for low center of gravity and good balance front to back. Have you tried putting a stake in the middle of the yard and attaching a rope to it and the front of the mower and as it goes it winds closer so you don't have to steer? Then just touch up the corners.

[@raymondo162]

[@joewoodchuck3824]

Really good! The biggest issue with building had to have been the gear reduction.

In my case I have what I get from wheelchair and it is pretty good because I have smaller wheels and little bit better torque 😊

[@ragepage1596]

[@snowrocket]

I've thought of doing that for years, and even gathered some of the components. Yours works as well as I imagined mine might. Good job and great video. Only when I saw the parts of the house did I really understand how steep your yard is. (Video is often terrible at accurately conveying slopes and distances!) My mom's yard in Pittsburgh is that steep in several places.
