Better title: Foreign guy spends 2 million dollars farming out all fabrication to sponsors, while using a lawnmower engine and surround and a purchased motor kit that includes the receiver motor control in 1.

The best past is definitely the one-hand remote, leaving your other hand free to hold your beer.

I would add an electric starter so you don't have to go and hunt it down or bring it to you when it stalls.

I own a lawn care company, try and put a side discharge for the deck, it will be much easier on the mower! Also if you raise the front cutting part 1/4 inch it's called negative rake, it will mulch the grass much better, the front swings cuts at higher height, the back cuts at a lower height!

I had a rough lawn with slopes that makes it impossible to safely use a ride-on. Once the initial mow is done and in my case my wife pulled the front of the mower with a rope across the worse slopes. Once mown a few" times it was easy to mow with a self propelled slasher that has a limited slip differential. This gives me very necessary exercise, a good thing.

imagine your neighbors seeing you while you pull yourself in a cart while drinking a beer and controlling the mower by remote

Clearly the next step is to build a racing sim setup with POV to mow from the convenience of indoors.<br><br>Awesome build!! Great work and a fun watch!

If you add wifi and arduino then you're one step away from adding GPS RTK and making Mulchy autonomous. Great stuff!

Use Phosphoric acid on that deck, two coats let sit for 30 mins each or so. Makes a crystalline structure that should never rust.

The garden-trailer attachment idea is genius. As my Mum gets older I've been wanting to make something for her in the garden - I've been doodling 'e-barrows' for a while, designs cobbled together from off-the-shelf parts - but the idea of just having a tiny driverless tractor unit and attaching a regular garden trailer is super-smart, more versatile, and probably more cost-effective too...

I built a similar machine that I have used for many years, I based mine on a cheap used mobility scooter which I added servo driven (regular kingpin) steering. One thing I had to do early on was use an oil additive to allow the motor to run at extreme angles. I found LiquiMoly have<br>a molybdenum additive that will protect the rings and bearings when starved of oil. My first engine (a new Chinese 6.5HP) lasted about ten hours before it started smoking and it developed a rod knock, I found the bore scuffed and the big end galling. I replaced it with the identical model engine (for spares) and slightly overfilled the oil as I had on the original, but also now added the molybdenum disulphide additive and that engine is now ten years old, still mowing the same bank at the same extreme angles and is still developing full power with no oil consumption. I'm not normally a big fan of additives in oil, but in this case it worked wonders, and still does. I also added a Daihatsu Charade alternator that is tiny, and that provides around 20A to keep the batteries fully charged. I also occasionally run an FPV system on mine, but keeping the cameras stable was a real challenge due to vibration. Still good fun though. Cheers.
