PUDU GT5 Autonomous 60-inch rotary mower with collection
A 60-inch rotary mower that cuts, vacuums and collects clippings, leaves and light debris in one pass, then empties its own hopper and goes back to work.
Where it works
- Large turf areas that need a clean finish without a follow-up crew.
- Several fields in one shift, moving between turf zones on pre-mapped routes.
- New sites, where it maps the field on its own and can use online or satellite imagery to set the boundary.
- Public turf with people, vehicles and light poles, where it slows down, bypasses or stops by risk level.
Day to day
The GT5 runs 8 to 10 hours and covers up to 16 acres on a charge, at a mowing rate of 2 acres per hour. It trims to within 5 cm of an edge. A standard charge takes 8 hours, and fast charging is optional at 4 hours. It has an all-metal chassis and an IP66 rating against rain and moisture.
