Hi all,
This is a great forum and I am glad I found it! I am working on a 4wd remote control mower build. Here is what I have: 20 hp electric start briggs gas engine DX5E controller 2 battle switches sabertooth 2x60 motor controller 2 x wheel chair motors
This is the second remote mower project, the first one turned out great but it did not have electric start or electric deck adjustment. I need help figuring out how to wire the starter to start the gas engine via the remote. I also need help wiring an electric screw jack to be able to adjust the deck height up and down via the remote control. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Why don't you use a Solid State Relay SSR it can be wired right up to ezb

You might want to replace the 2 rear wheels with caster wheels so you don't tear up the grass when it turns
Would that not defeat the purpose of a 4WD mower for steep inclines? If I want it to be gentle on the turf I can install smooth turf tires, this is a purpose built mower for high grass on STEEP inclines! This is the second of 2 builds, the first one has smoother tires but the same type of drive, it does not harm grass or turf in any way. This one will tear up some grass if your our doing donuts in the middle on the lawn or if you don't know how to operate it properly, remember it doesnt matter if you run it in forward or reverse, it has the same amount of power in both directions, so 90% of what I am mowing is straight up and down, no turning!
