Very cool!  Amazing how that tiny mower can cut so well.

@perrone1 Tony, if you owned one of these, we would never hear from you again. While you don't need a reason, cutting your lawn with this neat truck, would probably drive you to drink.

You got THAT right my friend! About 40 years or more ago, I was with the Aetna Ins. Co. We were offered the "Mowbot" account. It was a robotic, at-random-cut mowing deck. All electric, it was the forerunner of today's Roomba vacuum machine. It ran over your lawn and cut it going to wire sensors in your yard and, supposedly, no further.

Because of the "attractive nuisance" aspect of the machine we were afraid that if a child picked it up, the risk would be an absolute and we declined to cover. 

I think I'll stick with 'my baby':

Great idea Marty. I’m curious about the power train. Battery? Has to be fairly powerful with good duration.

@perrone1 So is this a robot too? I'm guessing it gets washed and detailed after every use.

After just about every mow, I take it to "Tony's Tractor Wash". Conveniently, it is located behind my house!!!

Nope; gas powered, water-cooled Kawasaki motor. Power steering, actual cruise control system, hydrostatic trans, hydraulic lift and tilt wheel. Cool

@perrone1 - No, you need a sand trap next to the green!
