GRASS ROBOTICS · GOLF COURSE BUSINESS CASE

Robotic Mower ROI Calculator

Estimate an indicative FJD fleet and first-pass business case using your own course workload and costs. The model applies the agreed 80% planning efficiency to published mower capacities.

1. About your course

Number of holes

Main mowing season (weeks)

Robot operating window

V2 planning logic: capacity is reduced to 80% and scaled to the operating window. Turf finish and application determine the mower before price.

2. What do you mow?

Enter hectares and cuts per week. Use 0 for areas outside the proposed automation programme.

Area	Hectares	Cuts/week	Finish
Fairways
Approaches
Tees
Semi-rough / rough			RM21 general rough
Complex / sloping			FRX

Use Titan for a high-capacity / low-noise share of the rough workloadIf selected, V2 assigns 50% of entered rough workload to Titan and 50% to RM21.

3. Current mowing operation

Mowing labour hours/week

Fully loaded labour cost/hour (£)

Diesel litres/week

Diesel price/litre (£)

Annual mower servicing & repairs (£)

Annual overtime/contract mowing (£)

Editable planning assumptions

Labour hours transferable (%)

Diesel reduction (%)

Maintenance reduction (%)

These are scenario assumptions, not promises. The proposal keeps labour capacity released separate from genuine payroll savings.

4. Fleet replacement & proposal details

Replacement fleet value within 5 years (£)

Amount potentially avoided/deferred (£)

Annual robot electricity + servicing allowance (£)

Actual annual payroll/contract cash saving (£)Leave at £0 if staff time is redeployed.

Recommendation & next step

The figures above are intended to support an initial board discussion. Grass Robotics should validate mowing zones, terrain, travel routes, charging strategy and existing fleet displacement during a site assessment before issuing a final equipment proposal.

Indicative planning result only. Published capacities are theoretical and actual performance varies with terrain, turf, route design, charging and operating conditions. Prices are ex VAT and exclude project-specific accessories, installation and infrastructure.
