Two systems, calibrated together.
α
RTK precision positioning
Real-Time Kinematic — satellite positioning roughly a thousand times more precise than your phone. The mower mows the same paths every cycle. No buried boundary wire.
- → NO BOUNDARY WIRE TO CUT
- → ZERO DRIFT, NO MISSED STRIPS
- → MAPPED ONCE, HELD FOREVER
β
LiDAR obstacle avoidance
Laser-based sensing scanning the world in real time — the same family of technology used in autonomous vehicles. The mower stops or routes around dynamically.
- → SEES BRANCHES, HOSES, TOYS
- → STOPS FOR DOGS, KIDS, WILDLIFE
- → DYNAMIC RE-ROUTING, NOT JUST HALT
What it looks like
Striped passes. Same line, every cycle. The kind of finish a contractor used to charge a premium for — except it happens twice a week.
The numbers
Pick your acreage. We'll do the eight-year maths.
Buy the system once at $33,490. Pay one tiered monthly fee. Compare it against a fortnightly contractor across eight years.

Common questions
The plain answers, on the record.
We're a small operation in the Northern Rivers building something specific. If you've got a question that isn't covered here, the site assessment is the right place to ask it.
RTK is centimetre-accurate satellite positioning. The mower knows where it is to within two centimetres — same paths every cycle, no buried boundary wire, no missed strips. LiDAR is the laser-based obstacle-avoidance system: fallen branches, garden hoses, sleeping dogs, kids' bikes — the system stops or routes around. Together they're the dividing line between a robotic toy for a quarter-acre lawn and an autonomous system that actually handles acreage.
Two parts. You BUY the autonomous mowing system outright — reference launch price $33,490. RTK base, mower, professional install, boundary mapping. From there, AutoAcre handles ongoing operation under a tiered monthly MANAGEMENT fee — $165 at 2.5 acres up to $650 at ten. Maintenance, blades, firmware, monitoring. Twice-weekly summer mowing, weekly winter — about three times a fortnightly contractor. The system is yours; the service is ours.
Engineered for 2.5 to 10 acre acreage — premium lifestyle properties, rural residential estates, larger landowners. Below 2.5 acres, a consumer wire-bounded mower is usually a better fit. Beyond ten acres, scoped as commercial deployments and quoted individually.
Service operations begin Q1 2027. Site assessments, the ROI calculator, and the property-fit conversation are open today — book now and we lock in your installation slot for when service begins.
On-site visit to walk your property — mowing zones identified, RTK base station sited, autonomous routes mapped, slope and access assessed. We're honest about whether your property is suitable. If it isn't, we tell you. If it is, you leave with a plan, a fixed reference price, and the option to lock in a Q1 2027 installation slot.
Initial service area: Byron Bay, Bangalow, Newrybar, Ewingsdale, Mullumbimby, Federal, Myocum, Tyagarah, Brooklet, Clunes, Eureka, Nashua, Teven, Tintenbar, Alstonville, and the broader Northern Rivers hinterland. Outside the footprint? Book anyway — we'll be honest about whether your property is reachable.
