This is the most far out deal I've seen, just ran across it on the Internet.

If you remember the old Jarri type sickle mowers you walk behind....

Well, the Europeans have, for some reason, expanded on that -just- a bit....

That reminds me of the remote controlled vacuum cleaner I built in the 1980's, but being the house was smaller I could just kick back in my recliner and vacuum the living room or lay on the bed for the bedrooms---LOL.

Love that! DH might even mow the lawn/pastures if we had one of those.

I thought is was interesting how flexible the cutting apparatus is.

I said before..... the European countries have all the cool tools.

That must be a Grilllo. Those spiked wheels are ingenious. Aerate and provide traction as well. If only BCS. & Ferrari walking tractors offered that wide of sickle bar.

Aren't they actually a pair of 6 meter mowers, or just shy of 20 feet?
