Hey .owing robots are pretty cheap and do a great job. They are low powered and small, but now every day in a random pattern and always keep the grass low.
Great video, really like how you did the deck height control linkage. I really want to build a tracked version as I have some steep banks to cope with and this would fit the bill nicely.
I am building something similar to what you are describing here. Are you having an issue fabricating the tracks and rollers? Have you considered using the tread of a dirt bike tire as the track?

What a quality build. Nicely done. Very top shelf! The front wheels may be a bit more stable further out to the side but man that’s so minor. Super, super sweet! Next you need to “project that lawn”! Thanks for sharing that deserved a sub!
@@WorkshopFromScratch I second that, super cool build. My only suggestion is hanging the cutting deck with chains and installing a string of rollers on the leading edge so that when it hits an immovable object like a rock, log, or uneven ground it bumps the deck up without transferring all the force to the plastic actuator.
@@WorkshopFromScratch Hello, we are a company from Shenzhen, China. We can produce high-quality parts for you while significantly reducing costs. I think this product of yours can be mass produced, if you need production and processing, please contact me, thank you
Awesome, what you need to do is take one of those auto floor sweepers and put the auto drive parts on that mower then you dont even have to mess with controlling it.
Someone in Mexico should hook up with this guy and set up a manufacturing plant near the California/Mexico border to build these things with GPS. Creating great jobs in both countries. and do it before China steals the product.
I like to see good fabrication techniques like gussets and bolt through construction and/or use of threaded inserts which actually have structural integrity vs so many of the UA-cam "makers" who think it's OK to thread thin-wall tubing for bolts and expect their projects to actually work beyond the 30 second demo at the end of their videos..
This is pretty damn cool. As much time and work and money that you spent you should of used a multi blade deck from a rider and done at least a 42 or 48 in cut. If you put small tracks on the rear for better grip it would serve as a great mower for slopes that are to big or dangerous for a rider too. But overall this looks like fun. As always great job. You are the best channel for these kind of builds. You started out with very little equipment to it is nice to see your shop and skillmanship grow.
I recently watched a video where the guy basically only used a 50 inch John Deere deck and engine to build one of these. It was half the length of this one and was all wheel drive. It looked like a converted push mower on steroids😂
Silnik posiada ładowanie słabo wydajne ale zawsze trochę wydłuży pracę bez ładowania nie sprawdzałem. Nie mierzyłem czasu ale moja działka ma 30arów skosiłem około 60% działki bo reszta to drzewka kwiaty itp, po tym czasie dalej jeżdziłą ale już ledwo nawet można powiedzieć że trochę przesadziłem i mało co akumulatorów nie popsułem bo napięcie spadło poniżej 10v, ale podczas tego koszenia i tak musiałem robić kilku minutowe postoje bo okazało się że silniki które zamontowałem szybko się grzeją i trzeba teraz pomyśleć nad chłodzeniem, przez ich nagrzewanie też spadała ich wydajność co napewno skutkowało zwiekszeniem poboru prądu. Po dłuższej pracy będę mógł coś więcej powiedzieć bo narazie to testy :) Dziękuje, pozdrawiam :)
Gostei muito parabéns , assim e fácil de cortar grama kkkkk precisava de um desses , enfim ótimo trabalho como sempre , um dia desses faz um kart top diferente de todos , do seu jeito aí , valeu
Great idea and amazing build! You should put air filters on the electronics fan. Dont let it pull dusty air in and get all over the electronics! Also the engine rpm should not exceed 3600RPMS. It sounded far higher than that.
Thank you 😁 You are right with this filter, I will definitely do it. The motor I use is a Chinese motor, and I can't even find the name of the manufacturer, I once bought a mower with this motor in a supermarket and it had such a high speed rmp.
I dono whether u see my comment or not but, i would like to appreciate few things in ur work. 1) u make it look proffessional 2) the attention to detail is really good 3) accessories are chosen wisely 4) even the lengths of the wires r more than enough even i like to keep it like tht Lastly If i can i would ve ordered one for myself from u, or build one diy copying u. Bt i am from India n dont have facilities like tht with me. Subscribing u as ur taste meets mine.. Keep up the good work n inspire us more...
Absolutely amazing build as always. I was thinking about the same project for a while. Quick Question: I was brainstorming about going a step further and controlling the mower through internet connection remotely Any ideas?
GPS-Sensors are rather cheap these days. You could attach one to a microcontroller and write a routine which navigates from one waypoint to the next. Throwing in a compass module or an accelerometer too won't probably hurt either. Involves some math and will probably take a few test runs and some tweaking to get it right but then you'd have an autonomous lawn mower which works completely offline.
There is an open source project for GPS guided robot mowers. As cool as the remote-control feature is, it will quickly become boring. This way, you can just tell it to mow the backyard with a phone app.
I make a couple rc mowers using a $100 hft welder. This guy have his own metal fabrication shop with 10k worth of tools at least. Some stuff u design isn’t need like chains driven, and welling entire deck on to the frame. What if u need to swap out a different deck or mower later, u should do remote start instead remote height adjustment because how often u need to adjust the height while mowing. If I had all that equipments then I’d design it more compact because the swivels and battery deck is sticking out making the mower longer while your mower is in the center so u don’t get close cut to the walls so U have to cut like 3 or 4 times more. The remote video thing is a gimmick because if you’re not out there watching where it’s mowing then be ready to fix your engine from running over rocks, tree stumps, woods etc that u didn’t see because u were too far away. I build my first prototype out of aluminum about 10 years ago (check my channel) the. I gradually change it over years. It’s seems like u copy the designs. We went with this because us DIYers have basic tools and knowledge of metal fabrication. There’s a guy who built this commercial make his frames compact and he even have tank tracks because these go kart wheels have limitation when the grass are wet or hills.
The world needs this kind of inovation incorporated in to online gaming system surch that farming can be done remotely from anywhere around the world and be paid wages, one can invest in an organic farm in Africa and participate in activities remotely and be paid in real time.
The machine is incredible. I'm in love with it. I see that there are lots of weeds. It would be easier to cut the grass if you add more grass seeds and get a broad leave selective weed killer. Then add fertilizer to the grass. Your lawn will look a lot better. Im a gardener, btw.
no dialog; letting the work speak for itself. no super loud and annoying music. this is a fantastic video and build.
one of the bet remotes i have seen
That paintjob completely transformed this whole build. Well done.
This is by far the best build I've seen in quite a while. Awesome job!

The cleanest build I've seen in a long time. Gonna steal some ideas from your build your skills and tips are gold.
If i have mind like you. I'd be rich because so many people in my country need this.
Now all it needs is GPS and it will go from *great to amazing!* You never cease to amaze me. Well done and *God bless.*
There is an Open Source Project Doing This, “Open Mower”

We have had robot lawnmowers for many years, they do all the cutting themself, 24/7.
I’ve missed mowing my lawns. This is really cool.
Hey .owing robots are pretty cheap and do a great job. They are low powered and small, but now every day in a random pattern and always keep the grass low.
Seems like an awful lot of fabrication and expensive equipment for someone with a disability on a fixed income .
Electric robot mower meets Drone meets RC car equals to ( !!!!! PURE GENIUS !!!!! ).
Great video, really like how you did the deck height control linkage. I really want to build a tracked version as I have some steep banks to cope with and this would fit the bill nicely.
Just get a tracked mower and snowblower and make a monster mower!
me too
