Just when we thought that lawnmowers couldn’t get any more innovative, convenient and user friendly than the Roomba, along comes the aptly named ‘Solar-Charged Remote Control Electric Lawn Mower’ invented by Robert S.

Following the debut and popularity of the robotic vacuum comes another innovative, handy gadget; the robotic lawnmower.

Husqvarna has come up with yet another way to avoid having to hire a lawn mowing service by adding the Automower 305 to its production. They have in fact been producing robotic mowers since 1995 and so this model is part of the third generation. It is designed for smaller areas/back yards as it only has the capacity to mow 500 sq metres of lawn but this allows the model to be more compact and easy to carry as it only weighs approximately 7kg.

When selecting mowers to sell in their stores, manufacturers state that the retailers look for models at the $999 price mark and MTD and Lowe’s both chose rear-engine rider Neighbourhood Rider at that price point.

Hidden amongst the gasoline guzzling conventional heavy farm equipment at the Green Industry and Equipment Expo (GIE+Expo), stand next year’s line-up of ‘green’ walk-behind mowers.

This may have something to do with the fact that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are getting stricter with their regulations next year and are introducing a new requirement that all walk-behind mowers should emit 34 percent less hydrocarbons than they did five years ago. This adds to the regulation that was already put in place for lawn tractors and riding mowers last January.
