App Concept

MowerDiagnostics Pro

A mobile app that helps commercial mower operators diagnose cutting quality issues by analyzing photos and mower specs. Users upload a photo of uneven cut pattern, and the app uses image recognition to suggest the most likely cause (dull blades, gap too wide, deck clog, etc.) and recommends corrective action. Saves time by eliminating guesswork and prevents unnecessary blade changes.
