FJ Dynamics RM21 Transforms Grounds Maintenance at Macarthur Memorial Park
Maintaining more than 300 acres of manicured lawns is no small task. At Macarthur Memorial Park, a new cemetery in South Western Sydney, the grounds team faced the challenge of keeping their large spaces consistently maintained while managing staff availability, weather, and time constraints. Earlier this year, they trialled then purchased the FJ Dynamics RM21 Robotic Mower — supplied and supported by Robot Mowers Australia — and the results have been outstanding.
The Challenge
Macarthur Memorial Park’s team, led by Michael Cashin, Head of Engagement and Operations, and Grant Whiteley, a Grounds Team Member in a team of 4 staff, maintain one of the largest new cemetery landscapes in New South Wales.
Traditional mowing across such a large property requires significant time, fuel, and manual labour. Noise restrictions, funeral services and unpredictable weather add further complications, often limiting when and how mowing can be done.
The team needed a solution that could operate reliably, reduce labour strain, and maintain the park’s presentation to the highest standard year-round.
The Solution: FJ Dynamics RM21
After exploring commercial robotic mowing options with Robot Mowers Australia, Macarthur Memorial Park selected the FJ Dynamics RM21 — a fully autonomous robotic mower designed for large-area and precision turf applications.
The RM21’s GNSS-RTK navigation system allows it to mow accurately without boundary wires, even across complex or open landscapes. It automatically plans efficient mowing routes, avoids obstacles, and returns to charge when needed, all without operator intervention.
Customer Experience
In the testimonial video, both Michael and Grant explain how the RM21 has simplified their mowing operations and improved turf quality across the park.
They highlight the RM21’s reliability, quiet operation, and the reduced workload for the grounds team — all while maintaining perfectly even lawns that meet the park’s high presentation standards.
Michael also praised the outstanding service and support provided by Dirk and the team at Robot Mowers Australia, from initial consultation through to installation, training, and ongoing after-sales assistance.
The Results
Since adopting the FJ Dynamics RM21, the team at Macarthur Memorial Park has:
-
Reduced manual mowing hours and labour costs
-
Improved the consistency and appearance of turf across large areas
-
Operated quietly during normal business hours without disruption
-
Gained greater flexibility to focus on landscaping and other essential maintenance tasks
The mower’s automation and precision have transformed how the site manages its green spaces, setting a new benchmark for efficiency and sustainability in commercial mowing.
