This Amazing German Lawnmower Attachment Can Cut Around Poles and Fenceposts
I don't want this. I NEED this
By Rain Noe - August 9, 2018
Mowing lawns is a straightforward process, until you get to a tree or a fencepost. You can only get so close with the mower, and the remaining scrub must be removed with a string trimmer, which is time-consuming.
So how do well-funded landscaping professionals tackle this problem? With German manufacturer Duecker's amazing Leitpfostenmaeher ("guide post mower"):
Here's a longer cut so you can enjoy the zen of it all.

Hah, to me it looks like those white and black posts are about to give every time it "runs" into one. I wonder what percentage of posts that this machinery encounters it brings down?

This brings to mind a specialized machine I saw in Germany in the late 1970s. It was used to wash the road crud off the black and white markers shown in the first video. The operator would lower a washing device over the marker, scrub, release, raise and move to the next one. Don’t know if they still use them.

I can't be the only one who finds this funny.
We created a machine to deal with the man made items we put into the environment.!Report as spam-
I think about this all the time.We need to design our homes so that they can be cleaned more easily by robots. That's why we only have the Roomba.
