I already have one of these

which is very similar, just not connected to the mower. Not that the mower
would do the nuts a lot of good!!

What I'm currently using are these:

A guy just round the corner from us has one of these:

but then he does have 100 acres with over 4000 trees

This is what I'm planning to push round with a wheelchair motor powered robot

I think half the problems to be solved will be emptying and charging ;)
