Strathroy, Ont. officials impressed with autonomous mower’s performance

Strathroy-Caradoc, a community in southwestern Ontario near London, is trying a robotic mower to cut soccer fields at a local sports park.

The London Free Press reports the idea of mowing sports fields using auton0mous technology came from a Calgary golf course that was using the technology.

The municipality partnered with the Strathroy United Football Club to test the Echo TurfMower on two full-size fields and three other smaller fields. The club is paying half the cost of the $40,000 mower.

Officials are impressed with what they’re seeing.
