Make riding your mower optional.
OxChief turns a commercial zero-turn mower into an autonomous mower — with 10× less effort. Bolt on the autopilot kit, draw your boundary on satellite imagery, and press Start. Your mower mows until the yard — or the hundred-acre sod farm — is done, while you watch live from your phone.
How it works
Retrofit. Plan. Mow.
Retrofit your mower
A defined hardware-and-software kit for Bad Boy zero-turns — Rambler, Magnum, ZT Elite, Avenger, Maverick, and Maverick HD — so every install gets repeatable results. The bolt-on servo assembly actuates the factory control arms — your levers keep working exactly as before — and step-by-step instructions walk you through the wiring.
Plan on the web
Draw your mowing boundary over satellite imagery, drop in obstacles, set your heading and path width, and OxChief builds the full mowing route. Or record a boundary by driving the perimeter once — live, straight from the mower's RTK position.
Mow from your phone
Press Start and supervise from anywhere: live video and telemetry stream to the app, and a virtual joystick is always one tap away when you want manual control. Centimeter-level RTK guidance keeps every pass straight.
Capabilities
Built for real acreage.
RTK precision, base station included
Centimeter-level GNSS guidance with corrections streamed from a cloud-connected base station network — no separate base station setup required to get started.
No mission size limit
Most autopilots cap how big a single route can be. OxChief holds the full route and feeds it to the autopilot as it mows, so jobs spanning dozens or hundreds of acres run without interruption.
Obstacle detection
An integrated depth camera feeds obstacle distances to the autopilot, which slows by zone and stops for what it can't clear. Purpose-built front mounts install in minutes.
Live course recording
Record boundaries and obstacles by driving them once. Points are captured from live RTK fixes, colored by fix quality as you drive.
Intuitive control center
One place for your fleet: mission planning, robot provisioning, live control, and configuration — on the web and in the app.
Proven, standard internals
Built on the battle-tested ArduPilot and MAVLink stack, so guidance, failsafes, and mission handling rest on field-proven foundations — not a black box written from scratch.
Honest engineering note: an autonomous mower is heavy machinery. OxChief is built to stop first and ask questions later — stale sensor data, a silent operator app, or an undetected obstacle all halt the mower — and it should always be run supervised, never around people or anything you can't afford to hit.
