Investing in autonomous mowers can be a wise financial decision in the long run. These mowers require significantly less maintenance than traditional models, eliminating the need for oil changes, spark plug replacements, and gas purchases.
This not only reduces operating costs but also minimizes environmental impact. Plus, consider the additional time you’ll gain; time is money!
Toro has been exploring the concept of robotic and autonomous lawnmowers for some time, with the introduction of their Haven™ smartyard solution in 2023.
This innovative offering is part of the Haven Smartyard Ecosystem, which integrates robotic lawn care, irrigation heads, and lighting solutions.
All components work seamlessly together, allowing users to conveniently manage their entire lawn care system through a single app.
This brings us to today’s topic.
