I've had a husky mower now for 3 years and it's been one of my best ever buys. With working during the week, getting time to cut a large lawn was always a hassle, weather watching, what to do with all the cuttings, lawn mower maintenance etc. The robot mower does the cutting now, and at the weekends I've now got the time to do things like aerating, scarifying and over seeding. So thanks to my robot, my garden looks so much better than it did before as it affords me the time to take proper care of it.
@Premier_lawns_official the video was about why not to buy lawnmower and you spent 90% of the video ne aeration and scarificstion, wiry barely a few words at the start and the end of the video. It is not very helpfulness.
We got the Husqvarna 415x the lawn always looks great. I dethatched before laying the cable and over seeded the lawn, weeded etc, but the automower keeps it looking sharp day in and say out.
Hi Robbie, I got a robot in May this year, it has made a super transformation to my main garden 2500sm. I am scarifying the worst areas about 300sm at a time. I am also detaching every 2 months and about to apply a seaweed fertiliser for the winter. Most of the ideas came from your channel. Keep up the great videos 👍
@@Premier_lawns_official no but, they did say that you didn’t need to fertilise the lawn because of the mulching and that’s not correct. Lots of misinformation about them and they require a lot of input but a lot less than cutting the grass 😁
I have a robot mower, its pretty good. Sure, I've had some issues with the boundary wire failing, but it was only when it was offline for a few weeks that I remembered just how much I hate cutting with a normal electric mower, its a miserable job. I do still have to strim, and totally agree that you still need to aerate and scarify. But those are kinda the fun jobs. Mowing every 5-10 days is just dull, I'd rather being playing with the kids or something.
Peter if I had a large lawn, there is a good chance I would use a robot to cut the less important areas too. All the time they are becoming more and more popular. In Europe they are a lot more popular than here...
Lol this video is nothing more than "Takin' our jobs" energy Had one for years, never been happier with having 10 acres of green grass. It is no longer a chore I loathe. lil maintenance on the machine here and there and you're good to go.
My experience with robot mowers is worse than what you said. It essentially worsenes the workload especially with lateral growth and weed grasses. That is why after two years of being happy with it I got rid of it. My lawn was essentially a mess of poa triv and clover. Eventhough I verticuttet regularly I could not stop the issues. I switched to a rider that bags the clippings and the problems are essentially gone for 3 years now. I still do verticut and overseed once a year but not out of necessity.
What about for someone like me though, I have a tiny, and very badly kept lawn, the trouble for me is that I have quite a nasty grass allergy. It takes me 10 minutes to mow and strim my lawn, but that 10 minutes involves tissues having to be stuffed up my nose, to stop my nose from running all over my clothes, insanely itchy eyes, and gasping for air as my throat tightens up. I'm pretty good again half an hour or so after a shower, but I'll still have an itchy throat and mucus build up. I don't want to have to scarify my lawn because I think that would be just as bad for me as mowing it, but I'd rather suffer once a month, from cleaning the mower, than every week for most of the year. I wouldn't have much luck with hiring a gardener because with how small my garden is, it just wouldn't be worth their time.
Definitely interested in more information in robot lawn mowers. Considering getting one as with a young child getting yo to out regular kawn cuts in is difficult.
To be fair to them I’ve had a Husky 315x for 2 years now on a lawn that was previously just moss. After 2 years of no scarifying and no feed the lawn is night and day. Hardly any moss, only at the edges where the mower can’t get and 100 times greener. Best thing I’ve ever bought
@@Premier_lawns_official I’m sure you do, it’s just my personal experience on an 800sqm lawn that was a carpet of moss has come up great with not much manual input. I’m not after a golf green finish or stripes, just a tidy green area that looks smart with minimal effort.
@@jonathanbeattie3410 I have one section of moss...and I love it. it's awesome, never needs mowing, soft to walk on...can't imagine why anyone wouldn't prefer it to grass that needs almost daily attention. I can't get it grow anywhere else...just one section. You didn't like the moss?
Trying to have nice grass in Ontario is very difficult. Not enough rain, too much heat in the summer, critters that dig up the lawn looking for grubs. Then there are also watering restrictions June to September. I can only water one day a week and then only for a few hours in the morning and evening. I have lost all the grass completely 3 times.
My flymo robot mower stopped working straight after the end of the guarantee. Did the straightforward things, battery change and voltage check with multimeter. Website and helpline give a long list of agents but none that I have called (I have called lots) do repairs. So bear in mind you might be replacing it after 3 years. Guess it depends if you think that is good value or not....
I went to a job many years ago where a guy had bought one from Europe to save money, it broke and then when he was away on holiday it fell off a wall..... He had long grass and was without a mower for 4-5 months...
I have friends who have Husqvarna robotic lawn mowers. They swear by them and said that installation was straighforward. One was a half acre garden with different zones. As someone who maintains about 12 gardens across my own property portfolio including one lawn in zones that is 1.5 acres the author of this video is making such a meal out of lawn maintenance. You just have to mow them generally.
Monster job..fantastic work. Would you recommend working an hourly rate plus products on jobs like this..or alternatively monthly subscriptions! Spread across entire year? Thanks Robbie. Apologies if its a rubbish question, just wanted to pick your brains...thanks. love your channel
Didn't take 5 years. I have Ecovacs Goat G1 and it handles perfectly my lawn. Still need some garden work, but I don't have to spend 4-5 hours a week to cut grass. Just trimming around trees and bushes. I've never felt that I would put cable around my yard. A lot of effort and still auto mower will go through that cable by accident and if cable is broken, that would another story to find and fix the cable.
Another I went to in spring was 4ft high and his robomower is still with the local repair shop now.... I have mowed, strimmed and treated the lawn all summer. It now finally has stripes. 🌱🌱🌱 😊
I lived with a zero maintenance lawn for 20 years, all we did was mow. 2/3rds of it was perfect and one end had some moss because we never put lime. Lawn was great. sandy red soil, mostly quartz, bunch of mediterranean oaks and yews all round. zero maintenance great for kids, nice little flowers...Then i lived in france with a high clay loam, 100% nice lawn except where the cars went and in high traffic. i never heard of so much lawn maintenance. i was amazed. why can't the thatch decompose and become lawn food? why don't the bugs and the worms and mushrooms decompose it so it has to come out?
This has nothing to do with robot mowers specifically.. The advice to leave short clippings on the lawn has been around as long as I can remember. I have been doing it for decades. I love my robot mower.
Nice vid mate, I completely agree. Lawns defo still need the thatch levels managing. One thing we have noticed with robot mowers is that they do seem to keep the moss at bay, my presumption is that it’s due to the mower cutting randomly and the ground is always having movement on it, what are your thoughts on this?
As a robot lawn mower sales person, I 100% agree with the video! I'm really excited to get the new line up with RTK robots this year, they work without a inground cabel.
Do you know anything about the Heisenberg mowers? No Cable needed plus they have a few other things(that I probably wouldn’t use) like a modular blower and fertilizer applicator. They also have a side blade that lets them cut closer to objects.
I tried to buy the Luba 5000 the price before and after Amazon was silly. I passed.. I am Canadian and Mammotion has a Canadian distributor. Ive a big lawn with many raised beds, trees etc. I dont want a rhoomba tech.. it'll never work on my property. Any sugestions
Funny thing. At the end I was looking for the strip that was not done due to the fact that there was a wire buried there. I could not see the difference between that strip and the rest that you had worked on. That suggests to me that what you did was a waste of time and money.
Just pay someone for your home. No worries about the weather, no worries about charging or fuel, no space taken, no cleaning, no maintanance, no worries about warranty, don't need yet another thing to take up space when storing, no sharpening blades, no edging (which requires another purchas and maintanance, not paying from around $700 to $5,000 plus and your high priced mower will get old withing a year and somehow a new and improved mower is on the scene that you missed out on. My point: you work hard for your money. Let your hard earned money do the work for you. You get edging, mowing and blowing out the debris. Why not come home and it's done? When it's hot out, why not stay in your air conditioned home and relax after working all day? Your shed or garage has space from a lawn mower/edger and blower. All these together costs money and they get old. Paying someone will never get old and they do everything. Nobody is paying you to come home and work right after working all day for pay. Your mind is at ease and your back and body don't get sore from all that work. There is absolutley NO NEED for any so called auto mower for the money and precision you get for paying someone to do ALL that work for you. There's more but you get my point. I get mine done since 2010 and wouldnt change it a bit. We even donated our Toro and edger since then. But the downside of this is I actually have to pick up a pen and sign a check to mail. Which is more back breaking? Pushing a pen or spending 3 or more hours fiddling around with any mower and lawn care? And, it costs less over all. Please don't tell me you can't afford lawn service if you can afford all that equipment that all need maintaining.
Hi Robbie, with a Fescue lawn how often should you scarify? I watched your other video about not recommending Fescue only lawns. Alas I have inherited one. Normally I think you scarify twice, spring and autumn. Should I be doing it more often? Cheers
@@Premier_lawns_official thanks Robbie I'll give it a look. You think 2 times a year for scarifying is enough? Don't want to stress the lawn but it is a little spongy just now. 👍
Great as always! Do you find the milwaukee electric mower capable of light commercial use? Now it's 6 months on from your unboxing vid, I've looked in to it a fair bit as a backup and/or for smaller lawns where my 50kg mower is just not manoeuvrable enough
Sean we used it loads during the summer as it's the only mower I own that has a mulching plug. It was super quick blasting round the lawns with it. I used it on a few jobs that we mulched the hedge clippings too!
A robot lawnmower is a huge advantage and a relief from having to mow lawns. Imagine working from Monday to Saturday and having to mow the lawn every week on Sunday, what if it rains on Sunday? Are you going out in the rain to mow with a conventional mower? On the other hand to the gardeners who charge loads of money for mowing every week or 2 times a month. The prices that our customers announce for mowing the lawn just damn well justify the lawnmower as an option for mowing the lawn. The robot does its job to mow 1mm of the grass every day and thus make "green fertilization". Conventional lawnmowers mow large grass, which must then be collected and disposed of somewhere.
It is about robot lawn mowers. A customer of mine was sold on and they were told that if you use a robot you don't need to renovate the lawn. This video clearly shows that's not the case
Tom a lot of that will depend on your own circumstances. What are you cutting the lawn with, growth rates, how often you are cutting etc. Lots of things to consider. My own lawn is between 15 - 30 mm
Totally agree with you about your comments on robot lawnmowers I have been using one for four years and one of the features that really annoys me is the compaction it causes. It is quite a heavy unit with its batteries and motor and it sits on a pair of hard narrow wheels which power it and a small roller that acts as a skid when turning. Because it is programmed to operate on certain days and I am lazy, it is often working in rain and on wet ground, and the top couple of inches gradually gets more and more compacted. My lawn is only 400Msq and I occasionally use an electric rotary mower to clear the thatch that forms. I wouldn't get another one.
Confused, didn't u just use the big mowers to mow that lawn, and then said "look how much mess the robo mower is making", or did I understand incorrectly?
Great vid Robbie and nice shout out to wee Ben "Lawn Tips" down under, its great what he is doing in his plot. Personally I think there is nothing better than standing back looking at your own handy work on the lawn. Robot mower is not for me, personal choice. Plus we wouldnt see cracking content like this from you Lol. Keep up the great work.
Ben's channel is awesome, if I had a large lawn, I can certainly see the benefits of having a robot mower, though I know that's not for everyone. Thanks for the comments Fin :)
@@OorOaksey Thanks! Ben is like myself, professionally trained. I try and keep it simple, light-hearted and probably a bit unconventional at times too.
I didn't know about the need to bury cables.... Interesting the lawn is raised (and notable the grass growing between the pavers and the tarmac. I think our American friends have the best solution, namely have your hard surface (concrete slab is popular stateside) at precisely the same level as the soil, enabling the lawnmower to slightly run over the hard surface and then the edges can be trimmed or disc cut (that's a scary garden attachment !) so that they are razor sharp. Great video again, as always. Thanks.
When a person get's too much plastic surgery, they look like hell. When a yard gets too much obsessive compulsive attention, it too can look like hell.
I was wondering what this was about i could care less about my lawn. I'm still debating on either gallons of bleach so i didn't have to mow again or a robot mower one or the other.
I have had a very cheap ($500) robot lawn mower for 6-7 years. I did not do anything to my lawn. The fine cutted grass works as fertilizer. My lawn have never been looking this good. We had lots of moss, and I removed as much I could before starting up the mower. After that the moss disappeared. Have to mention I live in Norway, so the grass might differ some from your. You can see it in action here: ruclips.net/video/VkENNHRhwds/видео.htmlsi=SAGdZCdzULP2hOJy
Aerating, scarifying and feeding, -my arse. What a lot of work you give yourself for nothing! You don't need any of it and I expect a decent lawn robot would be bothered either . Grass grows thick and lush if you just cut it and let the clippings spray out the back of the mower, all over the lawn. The clippings soon disappear and they feed the lawn and the worms etc love the clippings and the birds love the worms. The best part is driving around on your ride-on mower. The secret is to buy a mower that will do your size of lawn within half a about hour so you don't get bored. Then you have plenty of time to sit back with a coffee and admire your handiwork.
There is a book called Mrs. Goose, Her Book and a very famous quote from it springs to mind here "It is better to remain silent at the risk of being thought a fool, than to talk and remove all doubt of it."
As an actual lawn care professional: Robot mowers are great and will give you a way better result over hand mowing. Oh btw, if there is no thatch, why do you do a thatch away scarification? Scamming customers into paying you to do unnecessary work maybe? Start selling and installing robomowers and stop fighting better technology. Adapt or fail. No scare mongering, lies or scams will keep you in business🙄
Hi John, Oddly enough, we scarifed this last year. Guess what, the client has us booked again for this year Why bother with selling installs, the market has already moved past that. Unless your a spark and can do the electrics Installs are only needed the older type of robots, who is scamming who here? We have many clients who have robot mowers, I agree it is the future but lawns still need to be maintained to be at their best. Now, please, off you go, as no one likes a troll.
Great video , i would love a big lawn but here in the south of France water restrictions each year means a big garden is unthinkable ... So i dont scarify but i have to almost start a fresh each year as the grass dries out slowly over the long hot summer period here . i actually built my own robot mower and as i like mowing i made it radio controlled electric and with a camera so i can actually cut my lawn from anywhere in the world with internet access and control it from a computer . RTK gps units are available here but my garden is too small to justify the purchase and to be quite honest cutting the grass is fun with this :) :) . keep up the good videos !!! They remind me of home in England ruclips.net/video/kpViP2NIAGI/видео.html

No worries about the weather, no worries about charging or fuel, no space taken, no cleaning, no maintanance, no worries about warranty, don't need yet another thing to take up space when storing, no sharpening blades, no edging (which requires another purchas and maintanance, not paying from around $700 to $5,000 plus and your high priced mower will get old withing a year and somehow a new and improved mower is on the scene that you missed out on.
My point: you work hard for your money. Let your hard earned money do the work for you. You get edging, mowing and blowing out the debris. Why not come home and it's done? When it's hot out, why not stay in your air conditioned home and relax after working all day? Your shed or garage has space from a lawn mower/edger and blower. All these together costs money and they get old. Paying someone will never get old and they do everything. Nobody is paying you to come home and work right after working all day for pay. Your mind is at ease and your back and body don't get sore from all that work. There is absolutley NO NEED for any so called auto mower for the money and precision you get for paying someone to do ALL that work for you. There's more but you get my point. I get mine done since 2010 and wouldnt change it a bit. We even donated our Toro and edger since then. But the downside of this is I actually have to pick up a pen and sign a check to mail. Which is more back breaking? Pushing a pen or spending 3 or more hours fiddling around with any mower and lawn care? And, it costs less over all. Please don't tell me you can't afford lawn service if you can afford all that equipment that all need maintaining.
came for lawn care, stayed for the awesome accent. love from America
Welcome to the channel 😁
Hi Robbie, with a Fescue lawn how often should you scarify? I watched your other video about not recommending Fescue only lawns. Alas I have inherited one. Normally I think you scarify twice, spring and autumn. Should I be doing it more often? Cheers
Keith, you will probably want to introduce vertical cutting too. They make fantastic lawns if you put in the effort 👌
@@Premier_lawns_official thanks Robbie I'll give it a look. You think 2 times a year for scarifying is enough? Don't want to stress the lawn but it is a little spongy just now. 👍
Great as always!
Do you find the milwaukee electric mower capable of light commercial use? Now it's 6 months on from your unboxing vid, I've looked in to it a fair bit as a backup and/or for smaller lawns where my 50kg mower is just not manoeuvrable enough
Sean we used it loads during the summer as it's the only mower I own that has a mulching plug. It was super quick blasting round the lawns with it. I used it on a few jobs that we mulched the hedge clippings too!
@@Premier_lawns_official that's fantastic, and we're you right in saying you thought you'd need a second set of batteries?
@@seanwilson2034 yes defo need more batteries
@@Premier_lawns_official thanks, appreciate the info!
Automower working here since 21 years. Husqvarna still running strong. Husqvarna is THE best for it
👍
I'm holding out for one that actively kills weeds at the same time and can mow without the guide wires
Not sure about the weed control...
Wireless models are available.
Is there an english version of this video? Not sure what language this is.
great video, more on robo lawn mower pros and cons pls!
A robot lawnmower is a huge advantage and a relief from having to mow lawns. Imagine working from Monday to Saturday and having to mow the lawn every week on Sunday, what if it rains on Sunday? Are you going out in the rain to mow with a conventional mower? On the other hand to the gardeners who charge loads of money for mowing every week or 2 times a month. The prices that our customers announce for mowing the lawn just damn well justify the lawnmower as an option for mowing the lawn. The robot does its job to mow 1mm of the grass every day and thus make "green fertilization". Conventional lawnmowers mow large grass, which must then be collected and disposed of somewhere.
I bought a Landroid Robot mower this year and it is fantastic. My lawn looks amazing all the time now! Just sayin!
Some of the robots now are getting good 👍
Is there a version in English?
Subtitles available 😂😂😂
This video is more about lawn care than the robot mower
Yes
@@Premier_lawns_official I enjoyed the video, but the title suggests it's about the robot mower.
It is about robot lawn mowers. A customer of mine was sold on and they were told that if you use a robot you don't need to renovate the lawn. This video clearly shows that's not the case
Straight up, I don't care.
I live on a 1/4 acre residential lawn. Just keeping it low enough to make the HOA leave me alone is good enough.
If they did one that sorted out the mole hills i would get one.
👍
You got to put in the physical work into your lawn, there's no easy way out to the goal of perfection
I agree, you get out of it the effort you put in
Great trick with the dumpy bag
dwarf ryegrass and fescue lawn whats the best hight to keep it at thanks
Tom a lot of that will depend on your own circumstances. What are you cutting the lawn with, growth rates, how often you are cutting etc. Lots of things to consider.
My own lawn is between 15 - 30 mm
I could if I wanted and had the time (I don't) cut below that, right down to around 7mm
@@Premier_lawns_official its a new lawn and once or twice a week hand push mower like back in the old days lol, love the sound they make
Totally agree with you about your comments on robot lawnmowers I have been using one for four years and one of the features that really annoys me is the compaction it causes. It is quite a heavy unit with its batteries and motor and it sits on a pair of hard narrow wheels which power it and a small roller that acts as a skid when turning. Because it is programmed to operate on certain days and I am lazy, it is often working in rain and on wet ground, and the top couple of inches gradually gets more and more compacted. My lawn is only 400Msq and I occasionally use an electric rotary mower to clear the thatch that forms. I wouldn't get another one.
Thanks for the feedback 😊
What model do you have, all robots I have seen have a rain sensor and stop working when it rains.
Confused, didn't u just use the big mowers to mow that lawn, and then said "look how much mess the robo mower is making", or did I understand incorrectly?
Great vid Robbie and nice shout out to wee Ben "Lawn Tips" down under, its great what he is doing in his plot. Personally I think there is nothing better than standing back looking at your own handy work on the lawn. Robot mower is not for me, personal choice. Plus we wouldnt see cracking content like this from you Lol. Keep up the great work.
Ben's channel is awesome, if I had a large lawn, I can certainly see the benefits of having a robot mower, though I know that's not for everyone. Thanks for the comments Fin :)
@@Premier_lawns_official Cheers Robbie. You and wee Ben have similar views and approaches to lawn care, laid back but with robust practice.
@@OorOaksey Thanks! Ben is like myself, professionally trained.
I try and keep it simple, light-hearted and probably a bit unconventional at times too.
Your video makes no sense given the title! Admittedly I couldn’t watch the whole thing…too much nonsense! Just click bait title!
I explained it at the end, had you bothered to watch it. Oh well
I didn't know about the need to bury cables.... Interesting the lawn is raised (and notable the grass growing between the pavers and the tarmac. I think our American friends have the best solution, namely have your hard surface (concrete slab is popular stateside) at precisely the same level as the soil, enabling the lawnmower to slightly run over the hard surface and then the edges can be trimmed or disc cut (that's a scary garden attachment !) so that they are razor sharp. Great video again, as always. Thanks.
The cheaper models, you pin the cable down to the lawn and it's not buried at all.
A few models exist that don't use the cables. But I believe they require enclosed spaces and bump around like a Roomba.
There are new robots that work off a radar. You attach it to the side of your house or up a pole.
You don't need the cable for them
Came for the robot, stayed for the accent.
Hahaha love it! You are welcome back here anytime haha!
Lucky Charms marshmallow hearts moon clover their magically delicious ! Part of a complete breakfast !
I had 2 at my last house and it was the best investment I made. Didn't mowe for 3 years.
Robot mowers are the future
When a person get's too much plastic surgery, they look like hell. When a yard gets too much obsessive compulsive attention, it too can look like hell.
Nice video!👍
Thanks DS 🙏
Lol I am building my own using ardupilot, used gps, I launch it from my easy chair
Nice 👍🙂
Where the myth part 😂 not the first half of video 😂
Show what the lawn looks like in the place where the wire line runs without scarification.
I don't see any difference...
I am lucky I have only been replaced once by a robot lawn mower, I guess soon we will be out of a job...lol
Another great video. Thanks Robbie 👍
Thanks 👍
Robot groundsman after that? Never!
It's coming 🙈 loads of businesses would love to replace groundsmen with robots
I was wondering what this was about i could care less about my lawn. I'm still debating on either gallons of bleach so i didn't have to mow again or a robot mower one or the other.
Holy smokes had to put on closed caption for this video.
English subtitles on all my videos haha
I have had a very cheap ($500) robot lawn mower for 6-7 years. I did not do anything to my lawn. The fine cutted grass works as fertilizer. My lawn have never been looking this good. We had lots of moss, and I removed as much I could before starting up the mower. After that the moss disappeared. Have to mention I live in Norway, so the grass might differ some from your. You can see it in action here: ruclips.net/video/VkENNHRhwds/видео.htmlsi=SAGdZCdzULP2hOJy
Robots 4 mowing yards yes LETS GET AMERICAN PEOPLE ALL OUT OF SHAPE AND FOCUSED ON THE TV WHILE SNACKING ON EVERYTHING THAT IS NOT GOOD.
Yes, American people are currently SO fit and healthy from mowing their lawns.
Still daft enough to vote for the orange buffoon tho'.
Aerating, scarifying and feeding, -my arse. What a lot of work you give yourself for nothing! You don't need any of it and I expect a decent lawn robot would be bothered either . Grass grows thick and lush if you just cut it and let the clippings spray out the back of the mower, all over the lawn. The clippings soon disappear and they feed the lawn and the worms etc love the clippings and the birds love the worms. The best part is driving around on your ride-on mower. The secret is to buy a mower that will do your size of lawn within half a about hour so you don't get bored. Then you have plenty of time to sit back with a coffee and admire your handiwork.
Thanks for the feedback 🙂
So the problem is with the salesman, not the lawn mower itself? Why didn't you say so in the first place?
Thanks for the feedback 👍
smashed the 👎 button
Mowers are available now that don't need wires and can mow in patterns.
I lie in bed at night thinking about dethatching the next day
😁🙈🙏
Is that good or bad?
Are you crazy? He is literally maintaining a lawn for a customer that already has a robot.
👍💚😁
Boundary wires are a PAIN IN THE BUTT .
They certainly are
Do they have this video in English?
English subtitles available
Good old Dear John
Of course you have to also nurse your lawn when you have a robot... Should be obvious to everyone..
Great video, he has a tractor mower and a robot mower 🥴
Like I said, boys and their toys !
This is when somebody pretends talking about something they have no clue 🤷🏻♀️
Your talking about yourself I guess 😅 🙄
You are so wrong it's funny.🤦🏻
What if you hate lawn moving and you just need the stupid grass mowed? I don't care how it looks..
Yes that will work
My robot mower is the best thing I have bought it cuts my lawn every day
👍👍
that lawn looks like mine and I don't do anything extra beside mowing
I thought this was in english...but sometimes I think its in english while other times Im scared I may have had a stroke.
There is a book called Mrs. Goose, Her Book and a very famous quote from it springs to mind here "It is better to remain silent at the risk of being thought a fool, than to talk and remove all doubt of it."
Robot lawn mowers lack the trim option thats more messy.
👍👍👍
I cut my lawn maybe 4 times a year, and it's green as can be 🤷
So what was the big lie
The big lie, is companies telling people that if you use a robot your lawn won't get thatch or need to be renovated every again
As an actual lawn care professional: Robot mowers are great and will give you a way better result over hand mowing.
Oh btw, if there is no thatch, why do you do a thatch away scarification? Scamming customers into paying you to do unnecessary work maybe?
Start selling and installing robomowers and stop fighting better technology. Adapt or fail. No scare mongering, lies or scams will keep you in business🙄
Hi John,
Oddly enough, we scarifed this last year. Guess what, the client has us booked again for this year
Why bother with selling installs, the market has already moved past that. Unless your a spark and can do the electrics
Installs are only needed the older type of robots, who is scamming who here?
We have many clients who have robot mowers, I agree it is the future but lawns still need to be maintained to be at their best.
Now, please, off you go, as no one likes a troll.
Great video , i would love a big lawn but here in the south of France water restrictions each year means a big garden is unthinkable ... So i dont scarify but i have to almost start a fresh each year as the grass dries out slowly over the long hot summer period here . i actually built my own robot mower and as i like mowing i made it radio controlled electric and with a camera so i can actually cut my lawn from anywhere in the world with internet access and control it from a computer . RTK gps units are available here but my garden is too small to justify the purchase and to be quite honest cutting the grass is fun with this :) :) . keep up the good videos !!! They remind me of home in England

Do you guys have warm season grass or cool season grass?
So instead of one electrical machine you bring in three fossil fueled ones? THAT’s the big lie, imo…
Thanks for the feedback
No, the big lie is the fuel comes from fossils, lol. It does not come from fossils. It is naturally occurring fuel.
well that was a lot of waffle to get to the point.
the grass clippings should always be removed to give a good lawn
100 percent Ron 👍
I can't understand what you're saying...
Turn on the subtitles.
Something about Degs (dogs) and Cerrrvens (caravans).
