Husqvarna is introducing its new robotic lawnmower, developed for lawns up to 6000 square meter. The new mower is bigger and faster than its siblings and equipped with GSM technology that sends a text message (SMS) to the caretaker’s cell phone if it needs assistance. The new Automower 260 ACX will be sold at around 4,000 euro for one.
“With the GSM-technology embedded in Automower, we are taking on a big step into the field of intelligent gardening. With Automower 260 ACX, lawn maintenance becomes 99 percent carefree, ” says Stefan Axelsson, business manager for Husqvarna Robotic Lawnmowers.
Husqvarna Automower® 260 ACX is battery driven, equipped with two NiMH batteries with a total capacity of 6Ah and 18V voltage. The cutting capacity is 250 m2 (2700 square ft) per hour. The cutting time is 60 minutes, after which it returns to the charging station by itself to recharge for 40 minutes before setting out to cut again. This large lawnmower has five pivoting razor blades, compared to three on the smaller models, bringing the cutting width to 32 cm (12.6 inches) and a cutting height that ranges from 20-60 mm (0,8-2,4 inches).
