Remote-Controlled Tracked Mower
 ✖  |
You can run this remote control mower from Summit Lawn Mower Co. with a handheld transmitter from up to 300 ft. away. The combination of weight, track drive and a low center of gravity makes it safe to mow the steepest hillsides, but it also handles conventional mowing chores. Best of all, the mowers are priced way under comparable European units. With optional remote video, it can even be operated from inside.
The tracks have treads only 3/8-in. deep, but they still get good traction with their 9 by 40-in. footprints.
Unlike other commercial grade remote control mowers that tend to be rough-cut mowers, the TRX-42 is a finish mower. The anti-scalp deck offers side discharge, bagging or mulching options. The 23 hp Kawasaki commercial engine (with oil pump) is paired with a hydro-gear dual transmission and a 4-gal. fuel tank. The deck has height adjustments from 2 to 6 in. and can be equipped with optional remote hydraulic controls as well.
The transmitter has one joystick to control remote engine start/stop, while the other controls movement and direction. A toggle switch controls blade engagement, and a knob controls graduated choke on and off. Optional upgrades include remote on-board video, headlights and a snow blade attachment. The self-charging electrical system powers high torque, 6V electric motors for remote control functions.
Summit markets smaller remote control mowers. “Our mowers are designed for simplicity,” says Wright. “If a problem develops with a component, it’s easy to remove and replace. In the case of the remote control actuator for the deck lift, if it fails, you can still adjust the deck manually.”
