Make a self propelled machine and a machine that cuts grass and smoosh them together.

I generally prefer the squish method, but absolutely recognize the smoosh method and its inherent effectiveness.

You end up with more problems than you solve with squish and smoosh. These are sophisticated machines that can all too easily interfere with each others operation. The snuggle method has been proven to improve operability, lower service calls and reduce complaints

Cuddle works best because the machine spirits are happy.
