Was curious if anybody here had any experience with one of these ... im looking pretty hard because I cant really mow the spots I used to and this thing is a BEAST !!! Almost 4K for the one i need but it would be better (and funner) than paying someone. Has a snow blade and a hitch to pull things around , also has a camera set up if you want mow with POV from a chair... oh , even an automatic dumping bagger (from remote) if you want one...

Theses Chinese tracked versions are MUCH cheaper (about half) but they are all flail type mowers and not a finish cut...

Those are not automatically guided, you get a remote like driving a RC car. I am testing the Luba 3 AWD and it works awesome. Here's the first video I made about it.

It does a good job and after firmware updates it never screws up now. This one uses 4g for navigation and doesn't require a RTK pole. It started out with a 1.25 acre max but now maps can be saved to the cloud and recalled allowing several acres and different lawns. Not the cut quality of a zero turn and doesn't do well in tall grass but just I schedule it to cut every 3 days and it does a nice job. Handles 30 degree hills no problems. New models were announced last week that are better from every company that makes them but as you probably have heard they're banned from import because of the information they gather and send to China.

I have 3 more different ones possibly coming next spring to try also.

My hill is over 30 degrees and it handles it no problem. Towards the end of this video. Potholes would be a problem but it would navigate around them. I disabled the AI recognition and it tried climbing a tree. Bigger wheels would be nice though.

I did looked at the Luba and Segways mower but they both have the "razor blade " decks and are more for "gps" and navigation auto mowing , im doing ditch lines and steep banks that will require constant attention im afraid ... the Mowrator is a 21 inch cut also with a normal blade and the videos I have watched are VERY impressive 👏...

If your yard is bad, that would do it. Definitely big and heavy for tough jobs. With gas at $4.00 a gallon running mine on my solar system has saved me over $50 bucks this summer. Too bad the new models just released can't be imported. Winter storage should be considered and be sure it has GPS tracking because many are stolen. I would never keep one of these in a garage attached to your house either.

I may be getting a Yarbo with a mower and leaf blower to test. That also takes a snow blower and plow with tracks for really tough lawns. Should know in a couple weeks but it's another option.
