My home made RC lawn mower

[C-5Quad]

I haven't ever posted any quality builds to add anything cool what so ever to this forum. But I have gained a lot from here since my ever so green start 6 years ago.

I just bought my first home a few months ago and have been living independently since. Being a quadriplegic pushing a mower is out of the question and I got tired of bribing my negibor with beer to cut my grass so I designed this first prototype to help me add to my independence.

It's a Murry 22" 5hp briggs mower, powered by 2 12v 75 ah marine batteries in series, a sabertooth 2x60 speed controller, with 2 permobile C300 5mph motors, on 13x5-6 turff tires, with harbor freight 8" castors up front, on 1" by 1" box tubing frame.

beefy enough for a 200+ lb man to ride on without slowing down...in fact my friends little 6 year old has a blast riding on it every time he comes by now. Mower off of course.

Next up is a electric start hybrid with 24v marine altinator smaller batteries and more compact and lower profile. will post when its done
