Hi,

After having heavy rain a couple days ago my Husqvarna automower 315 is not able to find the dockingstation, it is "crashing" in to the sides of it but never correct. I have tried calibrating the guide wire succesfully. I have no idea how to troubleshoot or fix this. Do any of you guys have a clue/hint or something. Thank you. The robot came with the house i bought recently so I haven't installed the wires myself. The robot has worked for more than two years without these errors.

Is there a really good reason why Husqvarna wouldn't allow one to map using the phone location instead of walking behind the mower and driving it with your phone like a schlub? It's so tedious, seemingly pointless, and limits the creation on-the-fly no-go zones. Sometimes I need to mark off an area because something random is happening there for an undetermined amount of time and walking hundreds of feet up to get the mower, slowly driving it back down with my phone, and slowly tracing some big dumb blob that's probably going to move in a few days feels like a waste of time.

A web interface for map editing would also be nice. As would the ability to delete map points and drag + drop in the mobile app as others have requested.

Hi,

I have created a big mess for myself by making several mistakes on top of each other due to being extremely frustrsted and I'd appreciate just any kinda advice for my situation.

First of all, i tried to put the LM on the ground and start it before setting up any wires just to see it work, pressed random buttons which might have been bad.

I decided to do the stuff in the correct order and after setting up the station and wires i got ready for the installation, I selected a password that I could not remember but it was fine since its saved in the app. Then got no loop signal, wacky bluetooth connection, "need manual action" error, didn't understand why, double-checked all the cables, decided to factory reset through a button in the app. Little did i know it only resetted the app and not the mower and now i have no password. Im pretty sure of the two first numbers+the last two are different (7 possibilities).

On top of this, the mower isnt at my primary place of residence, takes some time to get there by car and everytime I go there theres no place to sit, perhaps forgot some of the tools etc... not the best conditions to do focused work and thats why everything is messed up. Shall i just bring the mower to my home first of all? Its charged to 100%.

Should i brute force the password or try to recover it from Gardenas customer support? I dont have a USB-A->B cable and i have also thrown away the paper with the product number. Im so dumb!!!

Thanks so much for any help, big or small!

We bought a robot lawnmower Worx Landroid M500 plus about 8 months ago. Everything works fine except at a certain spot the lawnmower goes over the wire. In every other place it recognises the line and doesn’t go over it. But at this one spot it just goes over it. We have tried to move the wire further away from the fence, but that didn’t help. Asking for advice on what might be the problem, because i’m totally clueless.

Say you have an automower set to cut your lawn every few days. How long does one take to a cut a full 0.19 or 0.2 acre lawn? I see comments on here that people run these things all day. Is that mostly for lawns that are much larger than mine? Am hoping to get an automower than can do my lawn in 2-3 hours tops and be done. Is that possible? Can anyone give me some insight into this? Thanks

Hi all, I use my robot lawnmower ‘manually’ in the sense that once a day I clear the various dog mess up and press go manually for it to cut.

For some reason, despite deleting any schedules in the app, after a day or so it invents a new schedule at some random time of day. Anyone else had this??

This is very frustrating as it goes out when it wants to and the lawn may still be soiled!

Thanks in advance

Here we go again. I have a 315x and a 115H.

Started noticing after every storm, the dreaded flashing blue light comes on. I swap the docking station and machines (115H for the 315x) and the same thing. So not the transformer or the circuit board. Then I check the loop wire and cannot seem to locate any breaks. I use an underground cable locator to find breaks. A few months ago, I did find some breaks and fixed them.

Qs:

1. Does the storm do something to the areas where the wires were patched? Does the storm do anything else to beckon the flashing blue lights?

2. Anything else I am missing?

Just curious about what are peoples experiences with the Husqvarna wheel motors life expectancy.

I have 430x, 3.5 years old, I could tell the bearings in both motors are quite worn and one in particular was starting to grind, but put it on the long finger.

Eventually one of them has failed completely and the other is not far behind. In the failed one, the teeth on the plastic gears have been stripped and also the plastic gears have been completely worn on the inside so sit really loose on the shafts on the gear carrier.

Also, on that motor, there is play in the actual motor drive, so it definitely needs replacing.

Plan is to buy one new motor, and refurb the other, (replace bearings and regrease gears) to get a bit longer out of it.

Will be adding regreasing of gears to my annual maintenance plan, the grease had completely degraded and what was left had to be scraped off the gears.

How long have your wheel motors lasted?

Choosing between the 310 Mark II and the 310 E Nera for my next mower, and while the Nera is only slightly pricier (300 EUR more), I don't care for most of its advanced functions. Although I could value its higher mowing height (55mm vs 50mm).

My current Gardena Sileno, which is essentially an Automower 305 in a different shell with a different app, often requires manual restarts (pressing STOP, entering pin, restarting) during errors, something I hope to avoid with a new mower that can be restarted remotely via app. Ideally, my new mower would allow remote restarts.

Given that my main criteria is reliability, can anyone share their experiences or insights on which model might be better in the long run? Which of these two is expected to require less hands-on time?

This thing is amazing. Had automowers for nearly 7 years and this is everything I’ve always wanted. Easy to change boundaries. Easy to add no go zones. Perfect lines. Easy to change the design and angle of the lines. Finishes the areas so much faster. No GD broken lines and searching for the broken piece. So satisfying to watch. Can’t hype it up enough. Really have nothing I would change on it other than a wider cutting width. I think the lines would look nicer if you doubled the width.

I just picked up a used landroid that I'm going to berth in a specific lawn section that's fenced off so I don't have to keep moving my automower. My automower boundary wire is dug down fairly well, but obviously shallow enough to work fine with the automower. Should I expect same performance from the landroid or do you suspect I will have to bring the wire shallower ? The manual says to just stake it, but that's not feasible on my property; I definitely need it buried.

Question: is a used 4.0 elite with premium unit from 08 2020 with 2300 hours a good buy? Is the 2020 model reliable or does it have problem? And is 2300 hours on a battery a lot?

I live in the Midwest, USA - thank goodness not in Oakland or anywhere similar.

I live in a mid to upper level suburban neighborhood:

• home prices range from $1m to $2.5m
• 4k to 6k sq ft
• lots are 0.25 to 0.5 acres

I'm not on our NextDoor much, but personally have not experienced any porch pirate incidents in the past 10 yrs or so that I can remember.

Lawn care rates here are around $40/wk and up. I figured that a robomower would pay for itself easily in 1 or 2 mowing seasons, esp the Segway model.

My biggest concern about getting an automower / robomower is theft.

I have a parking strip, front yard, and back yard. The front and back yards are separated by gates.

I WFH. To lower the risk of theft, I plan to:

• keep the mower in my garage
• mow the front yard during the day
• mow the back yard at night
• install extra security cameras

Wanted to get some feedback, thoughts, and ideas about this?

Current owners... what's your home area like, and what steps do you take to lower the risk?

Hi folks,

I bought the Landroid L2000 1.5 years ago in anticipation for my new lawn. The lawn has been postponed but I hope for it to be ready in about a month. Thing is, I see some more advancement has been made in robot mowers since I first bought it, especially with the Luba 2. The Landroid is completely new in the box so I can probably recoup most of what it originally cost me. If it was you, would you keep the Landroid, or take the opportunity to get the Luba 2 instead and sell the Landroid?

Hello. I want to find out more about external battery charger for automower. I would assume that most dealers do use something different from the charging station for winter storage. Husqvarna sells a external charger that seems to fit all models but are made to be a direct fit for the old 105,305,308 batteries. With a wide range of chargers in my possesion is there anyone that can be made to work. I have several rc chargers with lots of setting and several 18V powertool chargers.

Is there a way to hook up any of these instead of the charging station.

I have read all the husqvarna workshop manuals I have found and none goes over how this works with the external charger.

Finally got the robot out of the shed after its winterbreak and now I have a flashing yellow light on my charging station.

The user manual tells me this has something to do with a faulty guidewire.

There is no break in the cable, i pulled it out of the ground to check, so what else could cause this problem?

It did break last season and i got it working again with one of those silicone connectors thats ment for fixing breaks and connecting cables.

Anyone got any suggestions for how i can troubleshoot this issue?

Model Gardena Sileno City 500

Strongly considering the Navimow I series, but is anything substantially better?

EDIT: pulled the trigger on the Navimow i110N. Will report back with experience!

Packaged well. Build quality seems very high. Setting up RTK and pairing to the mower was easy. VSLAM works very well, even seemingly driving itself over to re-examine confusing borders (e.g. wheret ornamental grass hung over the border) after creating the zone.

Battery life is about 60 minutes which equates to 200-250m² on my lawn using "Balanced" pathing overlap settings. Add in charging time and consider that the unit can only work in daylight...puts my back of napkin estimate at just under 1000m² (0.25 acres) per day in ideal conditions. Less than I expected for a mower advertising 0.75 acre coverage. Luckily, the battery appears to be replaceable.

All in all, I am very happy with the purchase!

Thinking about getting an automower and am curious about this. I get that you need to bring it inside for the winter. But howabout for the summer and spring months when the mowing is supposed to be done? Do people just leave these outside on the charging dock plugged into an outlet all summer? Seems strange to me if so, because I would not be comfortable leaving it outside when it's not doing it's thing? Wouldn't want to take a chance of it being stolen or tampered with. How does everyone handle their automowers during the summer season to assure there is no theft of it? Thanks!

I've been using my Blade for about a week and it's been working perfectly for me but I don't know what to expect going forward after hearing it's been discontinued. It performs really well and looks a lot better than the other options I saw. I reached out to support about buying spare blades and screws but was told they're out of production and are out of stock. While I do want to keep it, I don't want to be paying $3,000 for something that will become a paperweight if/when they stop supporting it on the app in a few years or when I run out of the blades I got with the device.

Does anyone have any insight? Or should I just return it and get a different brand?

I’ve a second hand Gtech robot mower which is the same as a MoeBot S5 or AYI DRM3. I’ve replaced the charging cable from the port at the front to the motherboard as it was dropping ~18v and not charging. It had one good run out but now it keeps complaining that it’s “trapped”. There are no obstacles and I’ve re-greased the gearboxes. I also ran a test without the gearboxes attached to the motors incase they were exerting too much friction and causing it to think it’s stuck but still no luck. It’s very basic inside, there’s a hall effect sensor to detect if it’s lifted (the outer shell moves up triggering the lifted error) so that’s not connected to the trapped issue I believe. I’ve tried reseating the motor connectors and ensured that the Hall effect sensors in the motors are providing a signal to the board. Anyone any ideas? I’ve reached out to Gtech for a possible firmware update, but these just seem to be rebranded mass-produced mowers with very few spare parts and very little support.

Hey all! So my batteries finally died in my 450X and it appears the delivery of what I can assume are the direct replacements from Husqvaran has been delayed. Meanwhile my yard is becoming a jungle and there is no idea when they will be delivered.

Those that have had to replace their batteries, do you have a trusted source for factory replacements or aftermarket ones that are currently in stock? I’d like to try to get this sorted relatively quickly so I don’t need to pay for someone to mow my yard. This has basically been great for the last 4-5 years and it sucks that this has finally happened.

I live on the east coast of the US if that helps.

Thanks everyone!

I am considering a Luba 2 3000H and would like to know what other mowers I should consider before purchase. I have about .35 acres of yard that needs to be split into different zones. I have some hills in my yard, but I think most mowers should handle them.

I currently have a cheap mowrow that gets stuck a lot. If my yard was perfect it would be fine, but it gets stuck on grass that it mowed to its height setting 60mm. This is because my yard isn't perfectly flat.

I know that the Luba 2 has some issues, but it seems like all of the mowers do. What other mowers should I look into even if they cost more or less than the Luba 2?

Put the 415X automower away for winter and stored it in a warm room. Everything was working as intended before storing it.

Once Spring came around, put the basestation down and it showed green light so everything should work on the basestation side.

Put the automower in and when I tried to turn the mower on - nothing. Left it to charge for 4 days, trying every day if it would start up but nothing. Tried cleaning and sanding the charging contacts but that does not seem to help either.

Any ideas/tips on what I could try to get it to start up or is it just a dead battery that has to be swapped out?

I have an aspire r4 that i was going to start up for the season, the problem is that i can't get it to work.

There is no connection to the app, and there is only a slow blinkning light right under the "start" Button. When i press the ON/OFF Button or when i have it pressed for 3 seconds notting happens.

Anyone have any clue what is wrong?

Hello. Hoping to tap into the collective knowledge here for some help with troubleshooting an issue I'm having with my 115H. I've opened a ticket with Husqvarna as well but maybe someone here has some ideas to try.

I have one exact spot in my lawn where I get a fairly regular (2-3x per week) out of bounds error. It's always in the same spot with the mower pointing in the same direction. I've put the location in the attached photo. Apologies for the poor photo as it's satellite photo from Google Maps. The location is the small red arrow near the lower right.

It's not exactly in the corner but along a slight curve. The lawn is completely flat with no obstacles. The boundary wire is 12 inches from the edge along the whole perimeter.

When it happens I just go out and nudge it a foot or so back, and hit start and it's fine.

I've tried a factory reset and startup process. The light is solid green.

Any other thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Well I accidentally mismeasured and laid out .96 acres (3894 sq meters) for my 430x. It’s all pretty flat and no obstacles aside from one small tree. What am I in for? Patchy areas? I can move the boundary wire if need be.

Got a new 430 XH and the manual seemed to imply it would prompt to set a pin. It asked for one. I tried 1111 and the last 4 of the serial, neither worked. While trying to get the code to call in I thought why not do 1234 and sure enough that worked. Just sharing in case anyone looking to buy. I have to wonder why they don’t note it somewhere.

Hey! New-ish homeowner here. Previous owner for our home had an auto mower. We will not be switching to an auto mower and would love some advice on a few misc items left behind.

1. Wires. There are a few spots where the wires are sticking out of the ground or have broken or dog has started digging them up. Can we just cut these? If we start to pull them up are they going to rip up the yard?

2. (see attached photo) what is this transformer thing? Can I throw it away? Can I just cut the wires to it? Do I need to pay an electrician? Husband and I are both engineers but electrical things make me nervous and I don’t want to cause an issue down the line.

Any advice is much appreciated! Thanks!
