Well I figured I post a video of this thing lol! Something you don’t see everyday. This video is all done with my FPV systems 1080p 60fps CCTV sony day/night camera system, In multicast 5.8GHZ and 1.2ghz for hopping signals. If you do it’s not normally a 42 inch mower deck LOL I actually have a few videos of the thing cutting lawns.
Little History on it! I started out like most building a stupid push mower into a rc lawn mower. I started mowing a whole field while back and was hosting a Rc club. The deal was we maintain the field we could meet there! We took turns with a push mower and bla bla 102degree heat waves in July sucked!
So to solve this problem! Rc the damn mower! Gps Guide it and get lunch! 2 pixhawks later and 5 remakes of the design we are at a 42 inch mower deck down to 250lb vs 470lb in version 1.0 lol! So I can set a course in Mission planner and walk away with the flip of a button! The frame is 1x1inch aluminum tubing. I brazed all the joints of the whole frame to create it!
Deck can move 1 inch in each direction from dead center up and down. 10 inch rear tires and 8 inch front tires. 6.5 hp electric start engine. Each drive motor is powered by a 90mm x 200mm brushed 24v motor with a 78 to 1 worm gear transmission. Total output is 24foot pounds of force @ 500rpm applied to each tire lol! I can literally drag a full sized pickup truck with this mower LOL Yeah went a bit overkill!
Anyhow I hope you like it! Something you don’t see everyday!
