So as promised...I have produced a video of our new Mowrator in Australian conditions! We have a large property to maintain which has gotten away from us. This will hopefully help us to maintain our extreme slopes. We've done this by hand so far because:
a) Tractors that are capable or even larger 4WD petrol mowers are expensive!
b) Our slopes are too extreme and would be unsafe on most if not all tractors.
In came the Mowrator. On first use, we were fairly happy - can definitely see the usefulness, but were limited by distance. Since the update, we're much happier! Other tyres would be still be helpful in our conditions. You can see we've driven it on flat, maintained grass, sloping grass with a mix of weeds of different heights, and a large hill that has already been mowed and we intend to maintain with the Mowrator.
I've also tried it as a bit of a slasher, though to help with longevity, I believe we'll continue clearing and slashing first, then using this to mow. Thanks to my husband Trent McCrow for help with some camera work, and some driving. The kids were stoked too and think it's a great new toy!
Some of the video is sped up to save some time, otherwise it would be over 20mins long! I tried to keep it true to the user experience. Experimenting with the proximity alarms etc will help me get more done, as well as changing tyres.
