St. Louis, MO is using a remote-controlled lawn mower to maintain parks and grassy areas
The City of St. Louis Parks, Recreation, and Forestry Department has purchased a $65,000 remote-controlled lawn mower from RC Mowers. The TK-52XP model weighs 1,800 pounds sporting tank tracks, a 52-inch wide blade, and a mowing speed of almost 6 miles per hour. The remote-controlled lawn mower is used for grassy areas that are too wet or steep for a conventional riding mower, to control invasive species of grass, and to protect employees from slipping and falling.
