Banksia Turf Adds a Second FJ Dynamics RM21 — A Win for Commercial Mowing

When it comes to running a successful turf farm, keeping grass in perfect condition is a full-time job. Weather, equipment limitations, and labour costs all play a role in how well you can maintain your turf — and that’s why more operators are turning to advanced commercial robot mowers like the FJ Dynamics RM21.

Recently, Banksia Turf in Taree became the latest example of how quickly the benefits of robotic mowing can add up. After purchasing their first RM21 from Robot Mowers Australia, the team quickly saw the difference it made to their operation. So much so, they’ve now invested in a second commercial mower.

Why Banksia Turf Chose the RM21

After experiencing extended wet weather, mowing conditions became difficult. Heavy traditional equipment risked damaging the grass, and waiting too long to mow would lead to excessive growth — something that can cause browning and thinning of turf.

Owner Vernon Drury explained:

“The first mower paid for itself very quickly after a run of wet weather. We were still able to mow our turf without damaging the grass — something we couldn’t have done with our old tractor. It’s too heavy, and we would’ve had to delay mowing, which would’ve led to excessive growth and eventually browning and thinning of the turf.”

This ability to keep mowing — even in conditions that would sideline traditional gear — is one of the key advantages of an autonomous commercial mower.

The Benefits of Robotic Mowing for Turf Farms

For turf farmers like Banksia Turf, a commercial robot mower brings multiple benefits that go far beyond just cutting grass.

1. Continuous Operation
Robotic mowers like the RM21 can work day or night. This means you can schedule mowing around weather conditions and other farm activities without downtime.

2. Zero Soil Compaction
Heavy tractors and ride-on mowers compress the soil, which can damage root systems and impact turf health. The RM21’s lightweight design avoids this entirely.

3. Consistent Quality
Robotic mowers maintain a uniform cutting height, ensuring turf looks and performs its best for customers.

4. Lower Labour Costs
With autonomous operation, staff can focus on other tasks, boosting overall productivity.

5. Environmentally Friendly
Electric power means zero on-site emissions and much quieter operation — ideal for environmentally conscious turf farms.

The Future of Commercial Mowing is Robotic

Banksia Turf’s quick move from one to two RM21 mowers shows how rapidly commercial robot mowers can prove their worth. For turf farms, councils, and large-scale commercial sites, the switch to autonomous mowing is no longer a question of if — it’s a question of when.
