Smarter, faster, greener: New mowing equipment

FPFF - Fri Nov 14, 2:00AM CST

The 2025 mowing equipment market is defined by advances in autonomous technology and specialized cutting solutions. Segway’s Navimow leads the charge with GPS-guided robotic mowers that eliminate boundary wires and handle properties up to 2.5 acres. These units operate continuously for healthier lawns and reduced labor, signaling a major shift toward automation.

Traditional brands are also innovating to reach broader audiences. Grasshopper introduced Kawasaki engines to its stand-on lineup, appealing to commercial contractors with fuel-injected efficiency and pricing from $12,615 to $15,995. Residential buyers see crossover options like Dixie Chopper’s Falcon HP, which blends box-store accessibility with professional-grade durability and three-year warranties.

Specialty applications are gaining traction with tools like Price Brothers’ Fox Carrier barrier trimmer, which automates trimming around posts and guardrails, and heavy-duty cutters such as Great Plains’ Stealth Pro RC7 for hunting plots and Bush Hog’s FW4120 flex wing for large-scale contractors. 

Overall, the trend toward autonomy, niche solutions and residential-commercial crossover is reshaping the mowing equipment landscape. Check out the slideshow for more.
