Robotic Lawn Mowers

At Tractor Supply, we know there’s not always enough time to take the best care of the lawn you love. Luckily, whether you’re a landscaper with a full job roster or just a busy green-thumb, we offer a range of robotic mowers and attachments to help free up your day, taking care of cutting the grass for you.

Automate Lawn Care on Your Schedule

With a robotic mower, you simply set and forget — turn it on and let it follow sensors and a boundary, such as perimeter wire or satellite signals, and it can mow a yard with little supervision. These machines use either a single spinning blade, several blades or a spinning, razor-lined disc. It’s electric, with no gas tank to fill or motor oil to change, so when the job is done or power runs low, it returns to an AC base station to recharge its battery pack.

Futuristic Features for the Yard You Want Now

Many robot mowers let you schedule cutting times, set timers seasonally, specify zones and edges you want to cut, run diagnostics and check out histories of what’s been mowed. Besides having floating decks, which let you adjust the cutting height quickly and help the mower avoid scalping, they can have:

• Safety features, such as collision detection, to help them avoid obstacles including gardens, pets and kids
• Automatic shutoff to cut power when you pick them up or when their collision, tilt or lift detection systems turn on, helping prevent contacting the blades
• Theft deterrents, such as audible alarms and tracking systems, to help you keep an eye on them while you’re away
• Weather sensors to let them know to return to their bases during downpours
• Built-in Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cellular tech for both programming and control via a mobile app and tracking mowing progress
• Dials, electronic controls or app support for easier cutting height adjustments

Frequently Asked Questions About Robotic Mowers

How do I tell which robot mower is best for my lawn?

That depends on the green’s size and terrain. Most can cut up to an acre of grass. If your property is larger and hillier, with tougher weeds and landscaping like shrubs and bushes, you may need a more powerful mower with more advanced features, such as a zero-turn riding mower.

How quickly can a robot mow?

That depends on cutting deck width or mower deck size and on how often the bot needs to charge. Cut width can vary from around 7 inches to about 2 feet, and charge and mowing times can vary if the mower uses more power working around obstacles such as trees and rocks. Mowers with narrower widths, plus more charge time needed between runs, may have to make more passes. With a higher-capacity battery pack, one can run longer and travel further on fewer charges.

How do I maintain my robotic mower?

Commonly, you’ll need to update its app and firmware regularly, replace the blades and clean the mowing deck, wheels, sensors and charging contacts. You should also be sure to store it properly when you aren’t using it. Follow manufacturer recommendations on what to do and when and how to do it.
