Hybrid Remote Control Mowers

Slope mowing capabilities up to 70 degrees is where these remote control lawn mowers really become practical. Lawn care professionals are benefiting from increased productivity, while the environment is benefiting from reduced air pollution.

According to the EPA, lawn mowers are responsible for nearly 5 percent of our nation's air pollution. Electric mowers and push reel mowers are the most environmentally friendly choice for keeping grass trimmed, but are only practical on small lawns.

With all of the auto makers pushing the limits of hybrid technology, it is no surprise to see the lawn mower industry finally following suit. Hybrid lawn mowers can reduce the amount of damage we do to the environment until someone comes up with an engine that runs off of seawater, or some other alternative fuel source. Independent studies have shown that mowing the lawn does the same amount of damage to the environment as driving a car about 100 miles, according to environmentalleader.com. That does not include those who use 2-stroke weed eaters as lawn mowers on slopes and ditches.

Electric mowers have been around for a while, and are very environmentally friendly. Electric mowers are only practical on small lawns without slopes. Remote control lawn mowers from Southern RobotX utilize a patented hybrid power system that reduces fuel consumption by 40 percent (compared to other mowers), while remaining practical on any lawn.

A lawn care professional generally resorts to six or eight men, equipped with ozone-eating weed eaters, for slopes over 40 degrees. Now they can use one man, equipped with a remote control lawn mower, to take on the slopes and ditches. The others are out focusing on productivity. It is a win-win situation for the environment as well as lawn care professionals.
