haven't posted in a while and hope the photos work.

off topic so i'll include a photo of my dear old workhorse ford backhoe. i've been experimenting with my ryobi 40v mower. i fastened an old spring tooth harrow behind and attacked the yard and driveway weeds. it did ok ... and would probably work best on the earliest sprouts.

i figured traction would be a problem so i attached the strap-hitch high on the handle. an increasing load on the harrow adds a load to the mower drive wheels. balanced out ok. i also figured i'd get about 20min use maybe ... but was surprised to see about a half discharge after 45min. this uses only the mower self-propel motor which is vary torquey and has good speed control.

Since there is no place for an operator to walk behind it I assume that it is autonomous?

very tempting to automate .... and imagine a sulky! ... and trailer. the 'thumb drive' on the handle makes it easy to operate from the side. some fast hopping on sharp turns though.
