Choice of turf grass varieties and turf grass seed mixtures
In order to get full value from your robot mower investment it is important to choose the right grasses. One company, Euro Grass, has, in recent years, been very successful breeding varieties with an outstanding wear tolerance combined with high aesthetical values and suitability for automatic lawn mowing. Lower biomass production and cleanness of cut are important characteristic for varieties that are used for any turf areas. Many of the seed mixtures are well adapted to automatic mowing.
Types of automatic lawn mowers
The first automatic lawn mowers were all of the rotary type. They required a cable along the edge of the lawn in order to keep the mower on the lawn, and stop it from “weeding” the flower beds. These mowers have proven to be very reliable, and the randomised mowing pattern has proven to be very efficient in providing excellent results. These days there is an increasing number of automatic mowers guided by GPS signals. These types of mowers need to be “walked” along the boundary of the turf before they can be let loose for real use.

Top left: The CutCat, from Eurogreen, pictured at work at Schalke 04’s stadium in Germany, has a cutting width of one metre and has the capacity of mowing one to two football fields depending on the mowing intensity. Under certain circumstances the capacity is even bigger.
Above: The MAS 05 is the latest robotic mower from McMurtry. It offers turf professionals an efficient, selfguided mower for the maintenance of large turf areas.
Mowing patterns can be altered on a daily basis to minimise problems associated with compaction and weather damage, whilst benefitting from an output of up to 3.5 acres/hr at minimal cost.
Below: With a cutting width of approximately 0.2 metres, the smaller robot mowers have got sufficient capacity for ordinary gardens up to some hundreds square metres.
