Introduction to Remote Control Mowers

Remote control lawn mowers are self-propelled mowers that can be operated from a distance. They work in exactly the same way as a conventional mower ,but because the operator remains safely away from the machine, they are often smaller, safer and more capable on slopes and other difficult areas of terrain. Not long ago, remote control mowers were considered little more than fun toys, but they have advanced considerably in power and capability. Today they are changing the way that grounds care and landscaping is done.

Advantages of Remote Control Mowers

A remote control mower with tracks offers a number of advantages. Because they do not need their operator to be “hands on”, their design can feature a much lower centre of gravity. If you need a lawn mower for steep slopes, remote controlled lawn mowers are ideal. Not only does their low centre of gravity make them much more stable and so less likely to tip over, if such an unfortunate event were to occur the operator will be at a safe distance away from the spinning blades, making a remote control mower a much safer option.

The independent nature of remote control mowers also means that they can mow where an operator cannot go, getting into small and restricted spaces, making them ideal for woodland and orchards. At the same time, because they can operate at a distance from their operator they can be very useful in large spaces too because the operator can stand back and observe the whole vista without having to trapes around after the mower, making mowing more efficient.

Features of Remote Control Mowers

The most obvious feature of remote control grass mowers is their ability to be operated remotely. Control systems are extremely advanced offering a great deal of fine control. They can take on very challenging terrain, including slopes and will mow with precision to ensure that grass is well maintained. Built to last around a robust chassis with variable cutting heights and enhanced safety, Remote Controlled Lawn Mowers are a massive step forward in mowing technology.

Applications of Remote Control Mowers

A remote control lawn mower has all of the applications that a conventional mower has, alongside a few unique advantages. A track remote control mower, for example, is ideal for mowing over rough terrain because it can safely get to places that a conventional mower would be would find it difficult to get to. 

The real “killer app” for a remote control mower is managing vegetation on steep slopes. Because they have such a low centre of gravity a remote control bank mower can tackle slopes that are significantly steeper than a conventional mower could safely handle. A remote slope mower makes it easier and safe to keep banks and slopes well groomed.

Maintenance Tips for Remote Control Mowers

A remote control mower requires a similar maintenance regime as its conventional counterpart. As with a conventional mower you should clean and lubricate your machine after every use to prevent any buildup of fine grass clippings and dirt. At the same time you should check the condition of the blades – or the flails if you are operating a remote control flail mower. You should also make sure that your remote control lawn mower is stored in a dry location when it is not being used.

Beyond that you should get your remote control lawn mower serviced annually, or on the usage schedule set out by the manufacturer. 

FAQs

Remote control mowers operate in the same way as any other self-propelled mower. The difference is that instead of either riding on top of the mower or walking behind it, the operator of a remote control lawn mower controls the steering using the same kind of remote control you will have seen on remotely controlled cars. While remote controlled cars are mere toys, however, remote controlled lawn mowers are serious pieces of landscaping equipment intended to enhance safety and efficiency.

Whatever kind of terrain you are operating on there is a remote control lawn mower that can handle it. Remote control lawn mowers can be on tracks or on wheels, and cut with blades or flails. They can handle mud, sand, rocks, slopes and any kind of vegetation you might care to throw at them

If anything remote control mowers are safer to use than conventional mowers. The operator can control the mower from a distance so in the unlikely event of anything going wrong people can be far away from any potential hazard.

Remote control mowers are well known for their ability to handle steeper slopes than their conventional counterparts. This is because of the relatively low centre of gravity which makes remote control mowers significantly more stable.

A remote control mower needs a similar maintenance program as a conventional one. You should clean and lubricate your mower after every use to prevent a buildup of grass and dirt. You should check the condition of the blades – or the flails if you are operating a remote control flail mower at the same time. Aside from that you should have your remote control lawn mower professionally serviced annually, or on the schedule suggested by the manufacturer.

Everything we do has an environmental impact. But remote control mowers are lighter than many of their conventional counterparts, meaning they use less energy and compact soil less. Both of these factors help to reduce a remote control mower’s environmental impact.
