I have a couple of ride on mowers and always thought it would be a cool project to convert one to remote control. But then I thought, I would have to walk around behind it so I could see where it was mowing. Then I figured I could sit on the mower, so my legs didn't get tired. Then I noticed the mower already had controls I could reach from the seat, so I didn't need a remote control after all.

But seriously, at my old property, it was very hilly and on a few occasions I almost fell off the mower. Scary, I can see how accidents happen, and end up with a mower on top of you. Thats when a remote control would have been handy, I could stand next to the mower while it tries to cut the grass on some dangerous angle.
