Default Don't hate me, John Deere...mowing tracker...kinda really cool

Guys, don't hate me but I may have watched a John Deere Zero Turn mower video while browsing around on youtube. While watching the video, I found out that they have come out with an app for your smartphone that lets you not only track your mower maintenance (who needs that, really; only a John Deere owner ) but also lets you track your mowing, passes, and mowing statistics on your phone. Ok, now that's kinda cool. I installed the app on my phone and selected a mower model with the same size deck as my Super (54"). I started it up and checked out the mowing tracker option. This option should allow me (because I need this, of course ) to track my mowing pattern, speed, area covered, etc based off my phones GPS. Could be a neat little tool to try out. Since I just mowed last night, I'll check it out during next mow. Thought you guys might get a kick out of this

That's the same thing I said to Cadetbob when I texted him about it; what's next GPS autosteer?!

Edit: I think it's more of a "rough guess" style of tracking. More to tell you which pattern you should use to mow based on what patter you've used in the past.

AutoSteer is sweet! I loved playing with that stuff when I was with Deere.

Ya that works for a lawnmower, but pretty difficult with a 12 row marker-less planter or GPS guided sprayer without foam markers
Sometimes I think we are too dependent on gubber-mint run things.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
