You could buy a very nice chainsaw for that sort of cash.

I've seen people mowing their lawns on the steep hillsides around ilfracombe. They stand at the top with the lawnmower attached to a rope. They let the lawnmower go and use the rope to pull it back up. I can't see a robotic lawnmower working on gardens as steep as that. There has to be better ways of spending a thousand pounds.
