I have a almost 2 acres of fine lawn. This summer I got two Husqvarna Automowers. They are electric robots and they run 24/7. I only had an 18hp mower (48 inch) and it used to take 4h every week. Now I can concentrate on the details etc.

They use about 20kWh per month so they save alot of money over gas, also saving the environment...

They are truly truly great because they work. They save time, money, gasoline and they give a great cutting result!

Of course they cost 2500$ each.

Boy, I don't know... I have a 21 month old son frolicking through my field. Not sure I'd want to risk having him mowed down by robots.

The thing stops if it is lifted, the "knives" are like razors and extremely light so it could not hurt you more than a very very shallow cut. But you'd have to have your hand extended on the lawn in anticipation of the machine.

I'm quite sure your 21 month old son could learn what to do and not to do. Frankly I'm quite sure your Cub (and car) is a much much bigger risk for him of getting a serious or deadly injury on your lot, like a backing accident.

I think the Automowers are GREAT!

Being on a budget, I am looking at this craftsman on sale:

Craftsman 24 hp 46 in. Deck Deluxe Yard Tractor - Model 28827 at Sears.com

Either that or a 60" or 72" PTO finish deck for the EX3200.

Is that craftsman just junk?

Another big plus is that the lawn is ALWAYS perfect. Not only after mowing.

The ONLY reason I've bought Sears products was that I used to buy their service contracts, because I did NOT have time to work on anything because of Job Commitments...

The last Sears Riding Mower I had, Sears gave me a COMPLETE REPLACEMENT 4 years into the service contract...

Oh, yeah...check the thread where Sears gave me a replacement SNOW BLOWER, as well, because they had stop supporting that product with spare parts, it seems that is happening more quickly than it used to with Sears Branded merchandise......but then again, who knows what other manufacturers are doing...

great alternative, but WAY outside the price range.
