One of the most common applications of remote control mowers is mowing difficult terrain.
Slopes are a good example. When a conventional mower is used on a steep slope, the operator may have difficulty maintaining stable control. A remote control mower allows the operator to control the machine from a safer position while the machine performs the cutting work.
Remote control mowers can also be useful on uneven ground, grassland, roadside areas, orchards, and areas where vegetation grows irregularly.
Depending on the machine design, the mower may use tracks or wheels to improve traction and stability. The choice between different drive systems depends on the terrain and application.
