Can a Robot Really Mow Your Lawn?

!±8± Can a Robot Really Mow Your Lawn?

Let me start off by saying I have been using this mower now for three seasons. I am really passionate about robotic lawnmowers. I have the Lawnbott LB3250.

I still find myself stopping and looking out the window of the house in disbelief that a robot is mowing my lawn. At least once, if not more times, per day people stop in the street and stare at the mower wondering what it is. I have gotten to the point that I have put a sign on top of the mower telling what it is, where you can buy one and how much it costs. Unless you have a lawn service already doing the mowing, you can't believe how much time mowing your lawn actually takes. A Lawnbott will free you from that duty and give you more free time to do things you like.

Here is the basic operation of the mower:

If you live in the Midwest like me, you start this mower some time in the spring, March or April, when the snow is out of the yard. Generally I don't touch it until the late fall when the grass stops growing, November or so.

I have to be kidding right? When do you start it, recharge it?

The mower decides what days and how often per day to mow. Yes it can mow more than one time per day. My mower can go 5 hours per charge, drive back to the base and recharge only to come back out and mow if necessary.

That is pretty much it. Trim the yard around the bushes and the tiny areas it doesn't get. Really!

How does it know when to mow?

That is a really good question. I don't do software code writing so I can't tell you any more than it just does. It will adjust the amount of mowing it does depending on how fast the grass is growing and how large your lawn is. The LB3250 (and all the models) detects the load on the cutting motor and determines that the grass is deep or not deep.

How long does it take to mow the lawn?

This really is a moot point. You have to change the way you think about mowing the lawn. This mower will just go and go and go and eventually it is done. Your grass will stay the same height all year long. No more tall grass, short grass, tall grass, short grass. No more giant clumps of grass laying in your lawn turning brown after you mow.

What does it run on?

The mower has one or two 24 volt batteries depending on the model.

How do you charge it?

You don't, it does. When the battery gets to a set point, the mower will make a return trip around the perimeter wire, trimming as it goes, to the charging house and park itself.

What if it rains?

That is a pretty good question. If it rains the mower can do two things. It will go back to the charging house and wait until you come out and push the start button or it can wait for 24 hours and try to come out again. If the rain sensor detects rain, it will then go back to the house and wait more, repeat, repeat, etc.

But I have hills, it can't do them can it?

Yes, it can do pretty darn steep hills. 27 degrees is the limit of hills most of the models can handle. The LB3500 series can do 30 degree hills. It might not sound steep but a 27 degree hill is steeper than any riding mower will handle with the exception of the National Greens Mower. Granted, to do this grade, you will need the optional spiked wheels and wheelie bars. How do I know? I have them for my mower.

How loud is this thing?

Put it this way, you can't hear it when you are in the house. In fact, you really can't hear it if you are 50 feet away. It is quieter than your dishwasher (unless you have a Bosch like I do). You will start to get annoyed at gas mowers in the neighborhood because they are so loud. This thing can sneak up on you at night. It has a blinking light in the front so you can see it at night.

What if it leaves the yard?

You don't have to worry about this. If the mower leaves your perimeter wire area it will hunt for the wire by turning in a circle. If after a few seconds it doesn't see the wire it will shut down and beep. The LCD will display a message, "Out of bounds". You just pick it up and restart it in your yard. This can happen when you have a 90 degree corner in the wire (a no, no in the setup) or it slides on a steep, wet slope and you don't have the spiked wheels. I experienced both of these and learned from them.

Won't it hurt my dogs or kids?

If the mower is picked up, the blade immediately stops. You have the option of putting a start-up password in so if you want the mower won't be able to start again unless you key in the password. The blade has a guard around it so wayward fingers are protected quite a bit from accidental injury. Now understand this, it is a lawn mower. If someone intentionally finds a way to get the wheels off the ground, tilt the mower and reach around the guard, they are going to get hurt. But then again, no amount of protection can prevent a truly stupid person from doing a truly stupid thing, you can't fix stupid

The big brother of my LB3250, the LB3500, has a feature that stops the blade as soon as someone touches the rear handle. Honestly, it has never been an issue for me. I have a 4 year old and 6 year old and neither goes near the mower. They call it Moe.

The neighbors have a dog, one of those little barky things that bark at a leaf. It ignores this mower.

Someone will steal it won't they?

The mower will not work outside your yard. The perimeter wire sends a coded signal that tells the mower it is in an approved yard. Without this signal, the mower will not start. (there is a dealer diagnostic mode that bypasses this but how many thieves are dealers or even know how to enter this diagnostic mode) The mower also has a built in alarm that will sound if someone picks up the mower and tries to carry it away from your yard. That should be enough to deter nearly everyone. According to the manufacturer, no one has ever reported one of their mowers stolen.

My house insurance will go up won't it?

My insurance has not changed and my agent knows I have this mower because I listed it specifically on my policy.

Setup:

The first thing you do is mow your lawn one last time. It states this in the owner's manual. This makes laying the perimeter wire so much better and eliminates cut stripes in your lawn from the first mowing. Read on for more.

The initial setup of the mower might seem a little daunting at first. It will take you a Saturday afternoon, but so does mowing. You have to place a perimeter wire around your yard, like an underground wired dog fence. The big difference between the mower's wire and the dog fence is you don't have to bury the mower's wire. It just sits on top of the grass held in place with pegs.

After about 6 weeks of grass growth, it is integrated into the lawn and you can't see it.

After a full season, the wire is actually under the lawn and you will have trouble finding it. I have around 3/4 acre that is mowed by my LB3250 and setting up the wire took me about 2.5 hours. If you have bushes or trees you don't want the mower to hit, just put a loop of wire off the main line around this bush and it gets included in the perimeter and is protected from getting bumped into by the mower.

The perimeter wire acts not only as a fence to keep the mower in but also as a follow line for edging the yard when it is done with the cutting cycle for the given period.

Throughout the year:

The first day you have the mower and it goes out you will stand there and stare at it. No doubt in my mind. Then it will go back to its house at the end of the cycle and your lawn will not be completely mowed. (but you did mow before installation so it won't be that noticeable. I didn't read the manual and thought "I just spent how much?!!!" ) The same thing the second day, but by the third day your lawn will be nearly entirely done. Remember, you aren't mowing so give it time to learn your lawn. It appears to drive around randomly and couldn't possibly get everything. It will.

You will find in the beginning that your mower will be getting stuck here and there in places of your lawn that there is a hole, rock or something else you didn't see or consider. Just fill them in with topsoil or sand and grass seed. After some initial futzing around, the mower needs very little attention. Your border needs to be set up in such a way that the mower won't slide into a pond, off a ledge or something else like that.

There are various suggested distances in the setup guide to tell you how far to place the perimeter wire from these obstacles. Follow them and you'll keep the mower for a long time. As the manufacturer told me, the mower is waterproof but it only works as a submarine one time before you have to buy a new one.

Maintenance:

You really only have to flip the blade over in the middle of the season. It has 8 sharp edges, 4 on each side. The blade on my LB3250 is about 12" in diameter and about as thick as the cardboard on a cereal box. You'll have to replace the wheel motor brushes after about 4 years or so, but that isn't hard or expensive. Everything mechanical needs some type of maintenance. You just won't be changing oil, adding gas, getting tune ups, etc.

How long will it last?

The mower come with a 12 month warranty on all parts. Well, I have had mine for two years now. The outer shell is showing scratches and one crack in the lower edge. All of this was caused by me not completely following the perimeter setup and the mower impacting something it wasn't designed to impact, retaining walls in the front and sides and dropping off a retaining wall edge cracking the cover.

A nice side note is that when a part goes bad, the warranty on that part begins again.

The batteries are rated to last 5 seasons. At 0 each they aren't cheap but they are cheaper than 5 seasons of gas and going to get the gas and futzing with changing the oil and tune ups, etc. Your time isn't free remember.

Winter Storage:

Bring it inside and put it on the winter charger to maintain the battery. While in storage it is the perfect time to sharpen the blade which you can do with a kitchen knife sharpener. That is the extent of winter storage.

Cost of Operation:

It costs about a year (if you leave it turned on in the winter too mind you) in electricity to charge and run the perimeter wire to run the mower. No gas, no oil changes.

Feel free to contact me if you have questions on this mower that aren't explained here. jspahn@mac.com

2 Stroke Gas Powered Blender

This is a 2-Stroke Gas Powered Blender I built for camping. I used a gas powered leaf blower engine, and an old Oster blender I had kickin around. The frame is built from 3/4" square steel tubing and is TIG welded together. The base plate is a 1/4" thick aluminum plate with all the appropriate bolt patterns for accept all of the components. The components include the engine, blender, idler pulley, and margarita mixer. The V-Belt pulley system was designed in Solidworks and built using manual lathes and milling machines. I used a Goodyear 1/2" x 32" V-Belt to connect everything together. I wanted to use a serpentine system, but I couldn't find a belt short enough so I opted for V-Belt. The blender is an old Oster blender. The best thing about it was it had a flat bottom and all of the parts in it were metal rather than plastic. All in all this was a really fun build and the blender works great! Time to go camping!

Looking For the Best Riding Lawn Mower

!±8± Looking For the Best Riding Lawn Mower

Riding lawn mowers can be very expensive, depending on what brand and options you want. If you are looking to buy one new, you'll certainly be looking for the best riding lawn mower for your money. And though there is no one lawn mower that is better than all the rest, there quite possibly is a riding lawn mower that exactly suits your particular needs.

Before you start looking for a new riding lawn mower, be sure you know just what you need and want from it. Are you tied to the convenience and functionality of a riding lawn mower or will a hand mower suffice? The price of a riding mower versus a push mower is significantly increased, so if you are able to go with the push mower, you may want to in order to save some money.

However, some home owners find that their lawn is too large to use a push mower. If this is the case, or you are too pressed for time to worry about push mowing, and you are ready to take on the cost, then a riding mower may be right for you. In fact, the size and scope of your yard will have a large factor on what type of riding mower you'll want to purchase.

For example, if your yard is steep, you may want to invest in a riding mower with all-wheel drive. If your yard has a lot of obstacles, a smaller cutting deck will allow you to maneuver around them more easily. Another thing to consider is grass clippings. You may or may not want a mower that can collect these clippings to be disposed of elsewhere.

Some good places to start your lawn mower search are larger hardware stores like Home Depot, Lowes, and True Value. Going to online stores is another great way to find what you are looking for and compare prices. There are also a lot of internet deals that can get you the mower you want for discount prices, so look around for these.

Some of the top lawn mower brands are John Deere, Snapper, Bob-Cat, and Honda. These brands are all trusted, and sell top-quality riding mowers. However, there are a number of other brands as well that will also sell quality riding mowers. In fact, a lesser known company may have an equally good riding mower for cheaper; although, the top companies often sell their mowers for the most competitive prices.

If you are looking to save some money, you can also invest in a riding mower that will help with other tasks as well. For example, there are a number of riding mowers that can be used for snow removal as well as grass cutting. If you usually pay for a snow plow, you could save yourself the money by having a lawn mower that can move snow also. It sure beats keeping your perfectly good mower in the garage throughout the winter months.

Be sure that whatever options you choose for your riding mower are the ones you really want. The last thing you want is to end up with a mower that can't do what you hoped it would. Be sure you are really getting what you need before putting down the money.

Finding the Right Replacement Lawn Mower Blades

!±8± Finding the Right Replacement Lawn Mower Blades

The blades on your lawn mower are one of the parts that will need to be replaced most often; especially if you use it a lot.  There are only so many times you can sharpen mower blades until they are no longer effective at helping you maintain a well-groomed lawn.  The good news is that this particular part is pretty cheap to replace.  So, how do you know what kind of replacement lawn mower blades you need and where you do find them?  That's a valid question that deserves a valid answer.  Here are some examples of brands, sizes and types of mowing blades to help guide you when you need to find these replacement parts.

Since there are so many makes and models in lawn mowing equipment, we will cover a few brands and blades as examples for informational purposes.

Cub Cadet - The models made by Cub Cadet include walk-behind, self-propelled, zero-turn, riding and mowers of all kinds for residential, commercial and industrial use. The self-propelled mulching Model CC 550 SP would need replacement blade part#942-0739 which is a mulching blade.

Toro - Toro produces lawn and garden equipment for commercial, residential and industrial use as well.  The Toro homeowner's models 20092 and 20066 are recycling mowers. Part#59535- 21" is a recycler blade that would work for these models.

Kubota - Kubota makes tractors, mowers, construction equipment and utility vehicles that can handle many different types of jobs.  The Kubota GR2010G and GR2110 residential mower models require blades replacement part# K5575-97530. This is a kit of three blades.  As a side note:  Most Kubota lawn tractors are capable of doing more than mowing lawns.  They have many handy attachments for year-round yard work.

Depending on the type of mowing equipment you own, replacement lawn mower blades may or may not have to be genuine parts from the manufacturer.  You can review your owner's manual or look at one online to determine if there is a generic replacement blade option for your equipment if you want to save a few extra bucks.
