I’m getting seriously ahead of myself, but here goes. Anyone set up a robot, self-guided weedeater, string trimmer? I have about a quarter mile of fence line to trim.

Not that I know of, but interested !
I have a bunch of parts on my desk for adding a trimmer. Don’t hold your breath waiting for me to pioneer it. They’ve been there for a year or more

At the rate I’m going, I won’t even get my tank tuned before winter, let alone my mower done. But if I wanted to sleeze out, the 40V kobalt weedeater has an automatic head and detaches into two parts. They are routinely available on marketplace for $40-50, without battery. The lower part, with appropriate bracket on for a rover, and hard-wired battery, could implement a weedeater that pivots to the right and trims the edge of a mowing area or tree. You wouldn’t know it from my poor progress with MP, but I’m better with the systems than the mechanical bits. I have mostly 3-rail ranch fencing and thinking of a wheel about 16" up from ground that runs along the bottom rail and positions the head. When there is no fence, the wheel does nothing and won’t interfere.
