Robomow Crunch

My Robomow crunching up the leaves in the fall of 2009. I never have to bag the leaves anymore thanks to this mulching, grass cutting robot. I added the low-cut blades that are recommended by Friendly Robotics for this task. Almost done... then he goes into storage for the winter.

I don't see how this actually accomplshing anything? The robomower is just crushing the leaves into even smaller pieces, making them either harder to pickup. The leaves need to be picked up, otherwise they would smother the lawn. Running them over with a standard mower with a bag would have better results than this.

@snakeisland1977 I guess it depends on how much leaves there are. Under this one tree, I let the mower chew the leaves to tiny pieces, and by the next spring they have turned to mulch. The grass isn't smothered either, but is instead fertilized by the decomposing leaves. I only raked them into a pile for the bulldozer effect in the video. Also, I haven't polluted the air with a gas mower in 4 years. Still running with the original battery too. I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

@GSRGOPEDRIDER247 Thanks for the comment. You can have the batteries replaced at BatteriesPlus cheaper than buying the factory replacement. If you have a small/medium lawn, it can save you lots of work and the hassle of fuel, etc.
