Hi all,

WIth black friday around the corner I'm considering whether to grab a Navimow. Basic, flat yard with grass surrounded by sidewalk on all sides. Dog leaves organic material on the lawn. Would this be a set and forget and my wife isn't annoyed because it basically just works? Or is this more like a smart home where it becomes a hobby taking up as much time as doing maintenance on the gas mower and pushing it around the grass?

Thanks.

I'm considering if a new open-box return of a Husqvarna 430XH for 700 bucks is worth it. The catch is the Husqvarna won't honor the warranty since I don't have the original receipt and I'm not the original purchaser. Before buying it I could try powering it to at least test that aspect. Feed appreciated.

I’ve called and called around, anyone know who can rewire my entire ground wire in the dfw area? TIA

I currently have a Flymo 1200 r, ive had it almost 5 years and it may be on its way out, intermittent issues etc. kress have a huge sale on atm, does anyone know how good the kress bots are? The nano is half price down to 500 pounds for 1000m2.

2 questions I guess, is this a good mower worth the investment? And my Flymo lasts another year is there any harm buying this mower and storing it for a year?

We've trying something new through the holidays while supplies last: Buy 2, get 20% off 2nd mower; buy 3, get 20% off the 2nd mower and 30% off the 3rd mower and so on... (yes, if you buy 10, your 9th will be 90% off and your 10th will be free) If you already purchased from us, no worries - your next mower is 20% off and so on...! Promotion is capped at 10 mowers.

We have a number of lightly used (all less than 2 seasons with less than 800 hours) Husqvarna automowers available to purchase. Models are 315x, 520h, and 550h (430x, 430xh 450x and 535 are sold out). All have been functionally and computer autocheck 3 tested, cleaned (the important parts), firmware updated, communication boards upgraded where necessary and fitted with new Husqvarna Endurance blades. Available for pickup in Massachusetts or shipped. Installation parts and replacement blades are available. Please DM me if interested in more information.

(A big thanks to all of you who have already purchased or inquired about our pre-owned mowers!)

A query has been on my mind for some time. Can electricity help to conserve a cable that is underground? That is, is it possible that a cable connected to the base station and with loop signal is better preserved under ground than a cable that, for example, has the charging base off?

This doubt arose because I have several robots with the same type of cable, coincidentally the one I have always had connected has not failed and two that I have had without electricity, the cable has been damaged at several points (the cable is of low quality, but it is the same in all installations).

I have a section of yard that is across the driveway. I only want the driveway to be crossed in the middle of the night. Is this possible? I have the 550H.

I picked up the above two mowers at an estate sale for next to nothing. Neither had been powered on in quite some time from what I could tell. Build date on the 430 is late 2019, and the 310 long before that. I'm guessing they're both due for some maintenance and a good cleaning at the very least.

Both came with power and charging stations, and a packet of blades, which I have yet to swap out. Since it's not likely I'll get around to installing them this year, I'll wait on that.

Interesting my minimal (very minimal) testing, both powered on and charged. Using some similar gauged wire, I created a small perimeter and let the 430 run for about two hours, it seemed like it was just trying to figure out where it's boundaries were and never created a pattern, but I suspect that largely due to not fully resetting it before hand, as well as it being a pretty small area. I only had about 100-125 ft of wire.

Both GPS and cellular on the 430 had some struggles in finding a strong signal, and cellular won't let me connect if I'm away from the house, is this typical? Any upgrades/updates available to help with this? GPS is off by several feet, if the mower is at the south end of my yard, it thinks it's in the middle, at the north end, it shows inside my neighbors house. I get that it's mainly there as an anti-theft feature, but I expected a little more accuracy.

The 310 doesn't seem to have anything bluetooth as far as connectivity, can these be retrofitted with something similar to the 430? Are parts still readily available for this series? And lastly, is it worth upgrading it, if there is a kit?

I'm sure I'll have more questions as I dive into all of this, it's my first run at robot mowing, so tips on setup/upkeep and the like are totally welcomed.

Thanks

Dealer from MN here. Posting my personal CEORA here at dealer cost because I have held onto it for 2 years now for demos. 344 hours. No issues, I just dont want to have to pay for it before winter comes. I can personally deliver with my enclosed trailer if you are in the US. We can chat shipping as well I have all original packaging. 1000pk of blades included, can include ref station if desired.

Shoot me a PM to discuss options and pricing

Blue is boundary Yellow is guide Light blue is the desired "stayout zone" Due to the area being filled with asphalt trees, and the closest boundary to the stayout zone is where i drawn on the picture we have the closest boundary wire making it easier in terms of labour..

so my question is, is it possible to cross a boundary wire over/under the guide wire?

The title says it all…

It’s a small area, about 300m2, and has an underground cable to limit the mowing area.

Due to the small area, I opted for a small Husqvarna model three years ago. The initial experience was good, although the uneven ground was a bit of a challenge initially. Then the moles started summer construction…

Every summer the place is riddled with mole hills. And every day that darn three-legged contraption gets stuck on one of them. It feels like I’m spending more time getting the auto more going again than what I would spend mowing the ground myself.

Which other mowers are out there that could deal with this issue of obstacles, ideally by going through them?

And no, I can’t kill the moles since they are a protected species, and I don’t want to do this.

Pretty excited as I just received an email from Lymow announcing that they have decided to release a $2.5 million stretch goal. If the goal is reached all backers will receive an additional 1-year warranty, on top of the existing 2-year warranty, providing a total of 3 YEARS of warranty to backers! That will get me well out of the break-even period fully under warranty. In addition to that, my credit card extends the time period of the warranty by one additional year (hopefully this works with KS), so I should have 4 years of warranty.

In light of the the fact that current backing totals of $2.2 million this goal should be achieved in less than a week. It will be interesting to see if they release additional stretch-goals as Lymow is on track to reach nearly $4 million by the end of the Kickstarter campaign. Let's give Lymow some ideas for additional stretch-goal rewards, what would you want? The only thing I can think of is an additional blade set (I already have two sets), a cover for the dock (I was planning to make my own "house" for it), or a set of replacement tracks for they eventually need to be replaced. Any other ideas?

If you're not familiar with Lymow, check out the KickStarter campaign.

My Flymo 1200r runs for a few mins then stops dead saying collision at the front. I checked underneath and this part has corroded away a fair bit. Any ideas?

I received my Neomow X from kickstarter a few weeks ago. Unfortunately I can't find any community to discuss it so I might as well here. They have a subreddit locked out from posting.

I found it extremely easy to set up and use. A bit time consuming to drive around to define a mowing area. But would be great for a beginner. My biggest issues are with traction, it has a lot of trouble in my yard, not only from even gentle inclines, but when it encounters stones or other issues. The problem is not just mechanical, software could easily be made to avoid situations, but instead it just stops and puts up an error. It's not smart enough to approach at a different angle, doesn't back up and turn, and gives up way too soon. I would love to know if others have trouble with it.

I made an initial setup video but I will publish a full review soon. Clearly it's not for my yard. I have a Yarbo arriving in a few days. Of course it's all too late for this mowing season.

I have a lot of trees in my back yard and spanish moss always comes down throughout the year. With the recent hurricane, it might be less for the next 6 months. Since i already scooped it all up, i was curious how the Luba 2 3000 handles Moss? I used to have a dolphin pool robot and i ended up having to get rid of it because the moss got tangled up in the wheels and it stopped working effectively. Trying to avoid a $3000 mistake... My landscaper quit last month, so i have to decide... automow or hire a new lanscaper, with the moss i'm concerned.

Hi everyone, I'm attempting to replace in an 14 yo husqvarna 230 acx the battery pack to a 5s 18650 lithium cells (with bms of course). Mower works fine but does not charge. Current stills at 0A. I suspect that charger raise too much the voltage and bms opens before target voltage. Do you have any experience on charging logic or suggestions?

Exactly title, who has made something creative for Halloween or other holidays ?

I've had a 450XH EPOS for a couple years now and it works great. The other day we had a power outage and now the Automower can't find the reference station. It says "searching for satellites" I've turned the mower off and back on as well as unplugged/plugged in the reference station. The reference station has a solid green light. I've moved the mower around the yard and the map in the app shows the correct location. Any ideas how to get it to reconnect? Thanks!

Hi all. I bought a 435x late this summer, finally installed the wire, and let it loose to see what it can do before it gets too cold. So far it's great and just working on collecting map data, but I am not impressed with the run time. I seem to be getting around 45-50ish minutes of run time per charge and it feels like so much of the day it is charging. I am only running it during the day because nights are too cold (I bring it into the house at night right now) but is that normal or could my battery be having issues already?

I’ll soon be storing my Husqvarna Automower for the first winter. I’ll clean it down and charge it before storage.

I don’t have a great storage option, no Garage, just a damp lean to workshop and a shed. Would the loft space be more suitable that these options? The temperature is usually fairly mild in UK winters, but we’re inland and rural in Oxfordshire so occasionally it drops to -12C or so. At this point the shed, workshop and loft are all likely to be below freezing, but if it’s above a heated house I assume it should be a little warmer?

I live in the dallas area where we have "blackland" soil. Its horrible soil, yet somehow tons of grass and grass types grow. Half of the year there can be moderate cracks in the soil. And theres all manner of areas that have dips, they arent really steep, but they can make normal mowing a little bumpy to do.

The area id like to mow is also about 1/2 acre.

Hey all,

We bought a house and also decided to buy the Husqvarna Aspire R4 from the previous owner. Now I am trying to connect using the app, but I am getting the message ‘initial set-up required’ in the app. I cannot find the corresponding step in the manual. Anyone that knows what I can do to fix this?

Thanks in advance!
