GPS RTK remote-controlled lawn mower — is it worth it?

A GPS RTK remote-controlled lawn mower can be a worthwhile investment for customers maintaining large areas that require consistent mowing routes.

RTK stands for Real-Time Kinematic positioning. It uses correction data to improve positioning accuracy compared with conventional GPS.

Its main advantages include:

Automatic route following.

Reduced repetitive manual operation.

More consistent mowing coverage.

Fewer unnecessary overlapping passes.

Adjustable working boundaries.

Exclusion zones around trees and other obstacles.

LEGAO offers an 800 mm GPS remote-controlled lawn mower with RTK auto-navigation.

According to its product page, the machine features:

800 mm cutting width.

32 cutting blades.

Approximately ±10 cm positioning accuracy.

Automatic route following.

Work-area mapping through a phone, tablet, or computer.

This type of mower is particularly interesting for solar farms, large lawns, parks, and commercial properties.

For smaller gardens, the additional GPS investment may not be necessary. For large, repetitive mowing operations, however, the potential labor savings can justify the investment.
