I know I have said in the past I didn't like them because they don't do stripes ......................... but I'm sick of mowing lawns! especially when the weather creates delay and a major job when it does come dry enough

so whats the best on the market, please?

Saw this one from a canal whilst on holiday buzzing around,not sure what make it is.

Surely Clive that's what Kids are for.

Also useful for chasing sheep, cutting logs, washing machinery and sweeping chimneys

Best thing ever.
No worries no stress no grass to collect lawn has never looked better
Cheaper than a sit on.
There is no reason not too.
Have told my youngest (22) he will tell his kids of how he was shouted at and forced to “ sit on “ a mower and cut the grass and they will go “wow” really !!!!!! Why the the robot not do it ????

The future I am afraid.

according to the independent its a worx https://www.independent.co.uk/extra...area-small-garden-hills-robotic-a8971751.html

I think the husky , gardena and flymo are probably the same item just branded , A JD was reviewed in either profi or FMJ early this year and it came up well , a neighbour has a husky i think it is and it worked great on large lawn for a couple of years but its acting up big time now the dealers are out to it almost weekly

Husqvana

We have one. Great if you set the boundary and obstruction wires correctly and you don’t have rabbits digging them up.

Husqvarna.
Lawn always looks tidy and healthy .
Will not cut close to walls or borders so need to run round edges with a strimmer.

Do they go round dog poo?

Surely there is someone in the village,who does a bit part time gardening would cut the lawn?That way you get your stripes.

Its the perimeter wires that have put me off when I've looked into them

I agree, keep money local. It pays back in the long run.

You know how you advise people to get a bigger tractor to have more home life, well consider buying a bigger mower...

Si85 · Sep 29, 2019

I learnt the hard way, if u have a pond in the lawn make sure guide wire has plenty of distance from edge. I did have the recommended 30cm but It’s now approx 2m away.

Dave W · Sep 29, 2019

If you don't enjoy mowing grass you've got the wrong mower! Get a proper zero turn beastie.

I remember reading the robot hoover review regarding dog poo, never laughed so much! Well apart from the Haribo Gummy Bears review on Amazon that is.
Anyone know of it to attach?

Actually I have been advocating the merits of smaller tractors for the last 10 yrs !

If they existed (when). I will be getting robot tractors for a better home life
