Husqvarna owes you something for making this video. As an over the road truck driver I hate everything about my yard. After seeing this video I'm sold. Thanks for sharing your story.
I've watched quite a few videos on robotic mowers, and this video is by far the most thorough. Nice work! By the way, you might consider setting the height on your mower high when you're starting out with tall grass. Then lower it a bit at a time. It should be able to mow for longer than way, and you also won't have to collect clumps of grass as it'll fall down into the grass canopy and turn into mulch far more easily.
Thanks glad you liked the video! Great tip. I am now cutting at the highest height possible for the 315x already, but going down to a desired cut height over a few weeks will definitely make things work better overall
I also have a 315, but the older model. The mower is now into its fifth season and for the most part it has been a great experience. Mine does not have bluetooth or wifi or mobile connection, nor GPS or lights, so a "stone age" model if you wish. Lightning is its worst enemy - we had a lightning strike a couple of years back that actually set the house next to ours on fire, and although the mower was in the cradle and we had disconnected the power the lightning hit the boundry wire and fried the charging station. In the area I live, most people have robotic mowers of one kind or another, and I noticed that for a couple of weeks after that incident none of them were mowing and the Husqvarna dealer (luckily quite close to us) was very busy repairing them. A new electronics board for the charging station set me back only around 50$, so no complaints there. The terrain kit should be standard. I only bought it this year but the difference is dramatic. My lawn is quite complex and hilly in sections, and I was used to getting the mower unstuck once or twice a week, especially when the grass was wet. After the terrain kit was installed I have had no such incident. After four years of service it was in dire need of a service. I was worried that the service would be costly, but it was only around 250 US$, which I consider cheap seeing the difference in performance after the service. We love our little Shawn the sheep (yes, it's got a name...), and although it would be nice to have an app to monitor it, I don't see that as a reason to get a newer model. It was more cumbersome to set up when I had to do everything on the mower itself rather than in an app, but once its set up it can just do its thing and I wouldn't be using the app much - or at all. So yes, it's great. The lawn looks better than ever and I can't imagine ever going back to a normal lawn mower.
@@stevenbuckingham2152 Thank you for your question. Ther are crisis crossing marks left by the mower by the wheels (but not the knives), that is true, more if it's a rainy day than if it's a dry day. And personally they don't bother me at all. Firstly, they don't show all that much, and secondly there are no visible off-cuts, no need to rake or remove cut grass from the lawn. The cut grass is around 0.05 inches long and just slips to the grass floor where it decomposes quickly fertilizing the lawn. Thirdly, the criss-crossing marks usually disappear quickly, a couple of hours after cutting you usually can't see them anymore, a little longer if it's a rainy day.
We have a 430x and our lawn really needs the 435x but that wasn’t released at the time that we bought our mower. My lawn takes 2-3 hours to mow but now it’s like 15 minutes to weed wack the edges and saves so much time.
I also have a 315X. I love it. it's starting it's second mowing season. I have a pretty simple yard layout. It has only had a couple of problems where it would get stuck. I totally agree that it would be very hard to go back to a manual lawn mower. I plan to keep using this mower as long as I possibly can. Great video.
I own a 315x, have had the mower for a year now and i can just say i love it. The thing i miss whit the 315x is that it only has 1guide wire. I have a really complex yard and a second guide would help alot. Nice wid man😎👍 (Sorry for the bad English, im from sweden)
I would say the only thing I don't like about the 315X is the single guide wire and I wish it cut closer to physical edges somehow. Other then that I love mine!
Can you not buy more wire and split it in? You'd just need to find a electrical "Y" splitter and splice it in. It may be a little ad lib of a set up but I don't think it would affect the function other than what you're trying to achieve
@@elisampley7598 no it doesn't work that way. The boundary out (AL) and every Guide sends a signal that is collected commonly in the in-connector (AR). These signals have some bits to identify the ID (so you can have mowers close to other boundaries) and it also identifies what it is (AL, G1, G2, G3 - if the have more than G1). The guides are connected to the boundary wire with T connectors. I assume it's timed so it doesn't send out them all at the same time. Where talking around 80 times per second that this is repeated. If you splice the guide wire with a Y connector you will have two places it connects to the boundary wire. And the effect will be that the boundary signal will go up the guide to the new split and down the other leg eventually ending in AR. Thus the mower will never venture inside the area covered by the two lines after the split. The way it works is reasonable but sure it is handy for Husqvarna the properties of how this works prevents buyers from "cheating".
@@jonasselin7168 kör på 430X då jag har 1350 mycket komplex tomt, 430X klarar den men 315 kommer inte att klara med att hålla den kort om du inte kör den dygnet runt
@@BeardedTechGuy then they start self charging and robots start working at all of the energy companies and robots make other robots for their robot army.
Just a tip: You will recive a better cutting result if you allow the mower to cut in the day. The grass is higher in the day and then you gett better result
Great tip! I like having the yard "available" during the day so I prefer to run at night but maybe I'll see about picking a day or two to flip to have run during the day
430X, will soon begin its 5th season. Here in Sweden (Husqvarna's origin, though the mowers are built in the UK (England)) robotic mowers are ubiquitous. Every toolshop or gardening dealer that sells walk-behind or ride on mowers have some brand of robotic mower too. It's nothing special at all to buy that instead of other mowers. They also give a superior result thanks to cutting often, much more than any average home owner would do.
Thanks for sharing! When I was doing my original research on the automower a lot of the reviews and feedback were not from the US, but it does seem more are starting to get familiar with them. Two years later and I still catch my neighbors watching it when it runs during the day lol
Greetings from Sweden, not far from the former city of Husqvarna. I bought the _Husqvarna Automower 315,_ the predecessor to the 315X, in 2016 and it has worked absolutely flawlessly. Could not be more happy with it. They are quite expensive, but after just two seasons my lawn looked like a golf course. I have a grass called "Weibulls Extra Green", recommended especially for automowers, same as they use on many golf greens here in Scandinavia. The 315 is the best selling model here in Sweden.
Hi @robert4you. Good to hear long term user experiences 😊 Does it leave marks when it goes back and forth, once it is set up right? I often see the ugly criss-crossing marks left by robots and that puts me off a robot mower...
@@stevenbuckingham2152 Nope. No marks whatsoever here. But I guess it also depends on which type of grass you have: a "thicker" one which is not cut properly, but in a higher position may leave some marks (maybe?), but then the grass has to be *really* thick. The only time I have seen som criss-crossing marks is in the morning when the grass is still a little wet. But as soon as the sun is up, or the grass is more dry, they are gone. If you use the robot mower at the lowest setting (cutting) you avoid any marks. Still very happy with my Automower. 🙂
Iamlucky that there is a dealer right next to where I work. I've been thinking about getting one as my rider is about shot. Great video of this in action.
Glad you liked the video! I'd suggest stopping by the dealer and chat about your yard with them. Even if you do the install yourself they should be able to provide you with information and help you size the correct automower.
GPS cutting, which is a way it keeps track of how much it cuts in some area (think more something bound by coordinates and not physical areas) disables all the other lawn coverage options shown in the video. It's one or the other.
GPS has two systems, one for the military and another for civilian use. The gps we use only as an accuracy of like +/-20ft. I dont know the exact number but it also depends on your gps device. It would be difficult for small lawns
Non-military GPS has a built-in "bobble" / noise factor that is introduced on purpose. So it will never be good enough to navigate a yard. This may be changing in the future, but right now the CEP is about 30ft. Not even close to usable for small scale precise navigation.
this is the proof that people are only interested in shit videos without technical data at all.....short videos with a robot lawn mower walking around doing his thing,with no voice or commentary have way more views and likes than this one.I've watched every video about robotic mowers because i intend to get one even though i have a small yard ,and this one is by far the most comprehensive one yet.The details are very useful and the solutions provided are a game changer when it comes to choosing a robot mower.Thanks dude ,too bad ppl dont give a damn about good information anymore.
I saw one of these at a local chainsaw shop. The owner of the place told us he used to mow his lawn the previous year. Asked him what he thought of it, he says it mowed the lawn fine his gripe was that when tractor trailers went by the mower would change direction and head in its direction. 3.5k
That's interesting, I haven't heard of that happening. The automower uses bump sensors and AM RF for navigation and obstacle detection so I'm not sure what would cause that to happen
I'd love to try one of these one day, probably the 4x4 one and I'd probably need 2. But our grass grows extremely fast couple inches every 3-4 days so they probably wouldnt be able to keep up.
It would depend on the size of your lawn and how often you would be okay with it running. The larger ones can cut more so depending on your yard size there might be a model that could work.
For anyone who just bought a Husqvarna automower be aware that the cutting height adjustment does not show up for the first two weeks in the app or on the mower's menu (as of April 26 2022 anyway). Husqvarna states this is to let the boundary wire lay down - it forces the mower cutting height to max for the first two weeks.
13:15 the blades are far away from the chassi edge for safety reasons. If it bumps in to humans/dogs etc. no toes/paws are harmed. A tip is to lay paving stone (I believe it is called that. Rectangular in brickform) on the edge of your garden and around trees. That will eliminate the need to weed whack as the stones pushes the grass line back and the mower can cut all the grass👌
I've considered adding edging around my pool so I don't have to deal with cleaning up the grass along the edge but I always forget in between the weeks of having to deal with it 🤣
I have one too. For self-install, a Garden Weasel step-on edger or similar works pretty well for laying the wire in the ground. It's worth the $30. What I'm struggling with is my lawn is dying. I wonder if the mower has anything to do with that or if it was just the drought conditions. Biggest downside to these things seems to be Husqvarna support is terrible. From what I've heard, buy through an authorized dealer or you'll be out of luck if something breaks.
The edger is a good idea! I'm going to be moving a large portion of my boundary around so I'll have to pick one up. I would make sure that your grass type is being cut at the correct height. Some grasses need to grow taller than others and certain model automowers may not be able to support the needed height. Also lack of water can definitely negatively impact grasses, and some grasses are better than others at lack of water. That's an interesting point about support I've only dealt with my dealer which has been great never with support directly. Thanks for the information!
Yeah I emailed support with some questions about trees in my yard. They just tell me to find a dealer and ask them. Really weird if you ask me. They make it right? They test it? So I think they know best if it comes to questions no?
Husqvarna is a manufacturer and unfortunately buying on the website is probably not their best channel. They depend on dealers. Think more of it like cars or lawn tractors - it's the dealer and not the manufacturer you contact. They are not like a electronics company with end-user support. Seems like they could win on changing these priorities.
Great idea! Let me see if I can come up with an easy way to share. It's all done through IFTTT and I have a smart Weather Station in my backyard that acts as a trigger. They don't share all of the data with IFTTT so its a bit limited in everything it does but its helpful.
Tip on "Returning to Charging Station" and Guide Wires and Boundary Wires. We didn't install the Guide Wires at all even though with he 430XH you can have two of them. Initially there were times when the Automower found it difficult to return to the Charging Station. I went into the App and Turned off the signal for Guide Wires completely and that improved things. But it was still taking a long time. I saw that the setting for Boundary wires was set for a 11 minute delay. So I ret that to 0 minutes. And now my Automower has no trouble fining its way tot he Charging Station and goes immediately. Btween the GPS signal and the signal that comes from eh Charging Station itself there wasn't any need to do a Guide Wire except if you want to create zones for mowing.
I saw it, seems pretty neat. I had reached out to them a few times as I had some questions about it (was kind of considering backing it) but they never responded.
I'm pretty sure you can buy the 435X, and that thing is a beast! I really hope by the time I need a new mower they have added EPOS guidance into the consumer lineup, would not mind not having to worry about a boundary wire anymore
@@BeardedTechGuy 550 EPOS is released and when comparing without material (as it's anyways not included with automower) it's about 90% more expensive for that than the 450X when you factor in the reference station needed. Thus far in other equipment the RTK GNSS tech (in finished) products have kept quite expensive. They communicate by radio but they very much encourage direct line of sight. So big open areas. Now they will milk this market a bit surely but it's inherently a more expensive tech, I think we will be sticking with boundary wires for a long time before the cost of it being professionally installed is more than an the mowers not requiring boundary wire.
@@subwarpspeed I am hoping to not need a new mower for at least 5 more years so hopefully by then the technology advances more and comes down in price. I know iRobot was going to do something with beacons but ended up canceling the project.
ooooo fluke toner and wand fancy lol my back is getting worse so not sure how much longer ill be able to mow might have to migrate to this thanks for the video
I've since went out and bought a different wire tracer meant for underground wires (the wand was kind of tedious). With this ( amzn.to/3j7Qx9W ) one I turn of eco mode for the charging station and just use the receiver over the ground to pickup signal. It works well and I don't have to bend over / crawl around to find the break :)
For a full acre you'd want to look at the 450X (or XH model for higher grass). It has a working area rated for 1.25 acre, although I'd recommend working with a husqvarna dealer to make sure your property isn't too complex. You'd also want to give the lawn a full cut prior to running the automower as its meant to maintain height not cut tall grass.
I assume you mean around the 14:00 minute mark? If so, the lawn mower was going back to the charger and it does not cut the grass when doing that. If its a different segment let me know the timestamp!
I want to get this for my father who is getting to the point where he is physically unable to mow his lawn any longer, how much input through a smart device is needed on a regular basis? It takes me about 30 minutes or so to mow his lawn, but he wants it mowed on his schedule, not my availability. If I purchase this for him and have to be there to constantly input stuff through my smart phone then I might as well just burn a half hour and mow. On the other hand it pays for itself in the first year over paying a service to do it, so I'm on the fence. Your thoughts?
You can just setup a schedule that it runs by, it can vary per day. If you get an X line model like tBTC says you can do changes to schedule remotely from your phone (multiple phones/users can interact with one mower). You would also get notifications if it gets stuck or faces other issues. The first year usually carries some challenges and requires corrections/changes but when it's good to go it usually just keeps on trucking. The amount you need to let it run per day/week varies with lawn size, you'll find a good ratio over time. So expect more work/tweaking the first year and then a bunch of years with "no" work except off season storage, some cleaning now and then and at least seasonal blade changes. Given your specific scenario I would definitely look at an X-line.
As Dennis said, once it is setup the automower really is set it and forget it. The only time you would need to be involved is if a wire gets cut somehow. Setup can be a bit involved if you have a yard that has a lot of different areas or "islands". It took me a whole season to get things tweaked the way I wanted only to have a large portion of my lawn dug up from a plumbing issue. In the process of repairing things I ended up deciding to change the location of my charging base as well as the layout of my boundary and guide wires. That move is all done and complete but took a few days to get done. Now I'm on to tweaking things a bit to make it perfect. With the X-Line you can make changes to it without needing to physically be there. If it gets stuck or runs out of battery before getting back to its charger then you would need to go over and move it as they are a bit on the heavier side. That can be avoided with proper setup. It will also take longer for it to mow then you would, so you'll want to make sure that isn't going to be an issue. I have mine just run at night so it doesn't get in the way, but you need to be in an area where you can do that without concern of it getting run over or stolen.
Is there a reason why, at the 14 minute mark, it appears to not be cutting anything? Also, how close can it cut to an object in the yard, such as a tree, or along a fence line? Seems like there might be a lot of weed whacking to do.
For that particular shot it was going back to the charger and following the boundary wire. When returning to the charger the automower is not cutting grass. It won't get as close to edges as you can with a lawn mower so there would still be weed whacking that needs to get done. For my yard I haven't noticed any major uptick in weed whacking required though, I normally had to spend 20-25 minutes weed whacking every few weeks with a push mower and its about the same amount of time now.
Currently building a new house and will be looking into one of these. Also have a dog so will be running dog wire fencing. Wonder is there any known issues with this?
Great question! I will start by saying I am not a professional installer and I highly encourage you to reach out to a husqvarana installer to get their input. If you want to run an automower and dog fence in the same yard your best option is to get a dog fence that runs on FM instead of AM (automower uses AM). I found that there is one by "DogWatch" that is FM that I would recommend looking into. Seems like they even have a "smart" version that can alert you on your phone which seems cool. You'll still need to be careful of laying both down as if you are trenching you won't want to accidentally break the other. I'd also recommend a little bit of distance between the two boundary wires.. Another option is that the automower (verify the one you are considering) can turn off the boundary wire when it's charging. So as long as the dogs aren't out when the mower is running you may be fine in that instance too (specially if you can turn off the dog fence when not in use). You can also change the frequency on the automower, so you could get lucky there but it seems for most people that is very hit or miss and will depend on the pet fence. I would say don't count on this option working out for you.
For my fence, I have the boundary wire run through both sides of the fence opening and the guide wire run through the middle. You need to make sure the gate is opened obviously and could be a hassle opening and closing every day. Narrower gates require a bit of tweaking in the settings and proper guide wire placement for successful installation through a fence gate.
Most robot vacuums still bounce around when they hit something too It seems odd compared to how people normal cut their grass (with the back and forth), but the random pattern works (as long as the robot is sized correctly) and makes sure the grass is cut in different directions each time just like you're supposed to do when cutting grass.
Glad you liked the video! Originally I used a Fluke Network Cable tester but having the probe was kind of annoying. So I picked up one that has its probe on a long wire and I can rock it back and forth. It can be found here: amzn.to/2TdNIcQ For me, I just turn eco mode off on the robot so the wires are live and don't even bother hooking up the tone generator, the probe can pickup the signal from the charging dock. I guess you can also use a AM radio (cheaper) but I didn't bother trying that.
I have two big lawns is it possible to have one mower and two charging stations so I can move the mower from one lawn to the other every two days ..what do you think.? Regards Tom
You can have two "areas" with one being cutoff from the charger and you just have to move it. For having two chargers I'm seeing mixed answers. I've seen a few "no's" and a few people saying you can you just have to create a new loop signal each time it's moved. I'd recommend reaching out to your nearest Husqvarna dealer to see if they can give you a correct answer. Sorry I couldn't be more help!
If they are physically separated with no level ground that connects them you still can create zones, but have to move the mower to the zone you want to mow and then move it back to the charger when/if it runs out of battery. You only need one charging station. If you can have a path between the two lawn areas you can create a guide wire and the mower will follow it when it is scheduled to do the zone.
Thanks for the video - very informative. I plan to get one of these mowers. Can your provide more detail on wiring? I'm wondering about islands. The install info makes a big deal about not crossing the wires leading out to an island. My guess is the wires stay parallel and the signal cancels so the mower doesn't "see" it. But I don't know how you ensure the wires don't cross if you bury them. Running them on the surface and stapling them down would work, of course, but burying I worry they could cross and I'd never know. They say crossing wires creates interference. I'm not sure I understand the mechanics behind why that is so. Any insight you could give would be appreciated.
Its really quick but at 0:26 in the video i do show how I have my garden bed island off. The wire comes in on one side, goes around and comes down on the other side. The cables have to be close enough together so that the automower can detect both and it will know that it can ignore that portion of the boundary wire. My boundary wire around the islands is in the ground. I use this tool for installing the boundary wire: amzn.to/3LdpdoJ
@@BeardedTechGuy Thanks for the info and the link. I know you had the initial wiring installed by the dealer. Do you know if they ran the line to/from the island in the same trench or parallel trenches very close? There isn't a lot of info out there on how to bury and keep separate (or how close is close enough, or how it causes interference if it crosses, etc.). Thanks!
I'm not sure honestly. Here is a link for installing the automower from Husqvarna directly. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AXoBMumlUjE.html 6:20 starts the boundary wire portion. They have the wires physically touching side by side, you just don't want them to cross (which is demonstrated in that video).
Sorry I missed this comment - I have mine run for 12 hours every day at night and it maintains the lawn just fine. I am hoping to take this season to experiment with lowering the cutting time down to see just how short I can get with my mowing time.
How big is your terrain ? I have 2.5 acres. Can This robot can maker multiple cuts ? Like if it last 1 acres on a charge does he go back to charge it self and after that continue where he stop ? And then continue ?
The 450x is rated for 1.25 acres which is the largest supported area. With the coverage rating that is not per charge but how much the robot can maintain through a normal mow cycle (with multiple charges). For your yard size, I would recommend reaching out to a husqvarna dealer for more insight in what your options may be.
Wapiti. The rated capacity is for the mower working as much as it can (lower models have a software lock but others it means 24h/7d). So if you don't want it out in the days you have to factor in just how many hours it gets out of a given day. With that said the capacity is given plus/minus 20% depending on how complex the area is. And it feels like it is measured on the early seasons when it really grows. If you're in a climate that is very dry and don't have irrigation the capacity goes up. Since the mower travels by random or with GPS cutting it has a high-level of planning (not steering) it is not a concept of "continue where he stop".
I have not yet, and not sure on battery replacement cost. The thing to keep in mind is that extreme heat and cold will degrade the battery quicker so if you have winters you'll want to bring the lawn mower inside after it's fully charged (and have it turned off).
Great question! I'm going to say it really depends, and I would recommend reaching out to a local Husqvarna installer. Even if you do it yourself, they are going to know your area a bit better and can make a better call. There is an AWD model (very expensive) that can handle steep hills and they have more rugged wheels you can purchase but that may or may not be enough. If there is a chance the robot would climb over a rock and the rock is large enough to get to where the blades are that spin, then I would say the automower would NOT be a good choice.
For an acre you'd be looking at the 450X. You might be able to get away with a 430x but its working area is only 0.8 acre, so depending on your yard it may work but it also might be pushing it up to its limits which could cause the 430x to break down faster. I would recommend working with a local husqvarna installer to see which one would be best for your yard.
The boundary wire is required. You could lay the wire on top of the ground and then staple it down for easier removal (it'll get buried under the grass but not dirt) but it is still required
I've only used the Automower 315X but I don't see a reason to switch to anything else personally. There may be some other options that might have a different price range but I can't speak to their quality or functionality unfortunately.
Ha no worries, different grass types need to be cut at different heights but if your grass is doing well you're probably fine at the height you're cutting at. You could try to go up or down a few different heights to see if it looks better. You'll just have to wait a bit to see if it makes a difference or not. Here's a link that can be used to help identify your grass: www.pennington.com/all-products/grass-seed/resources/how-to-identify-your-lawn-grass
For the edge of grass that is next to a driveway or sidewalk you can set the "distance past" allowed for how far over the boundary wire the lawn mower can go. I do this and it works fine for me. If you like the look of grass with an edger, then you would still need to use an edger just like a normal push mower. For the edge of grass next to a fence / house / etc. it will not be able to get all of the grass and would require a weed whacker just like when using a normal push mower. I will say I could get closer with my push mower, but I still had to use a weed whacker to actually get all the grass so that isn't creating any extra work for me there.
The 315X has a cutting height capable between 0.8 and 2.4 in. I think for St. Augustine you want above 2.5 inch, so it would probably be fine but you may want to look into one that cuts at a higher height.
You won't get stripping in your lawn with a robot lawn mower. I will say that my lawn is still mostly dark green while all my neighbors with their paid cutting service is barley green at all 😂
@@BeardedTechGuy I have .6 acres, with most in backyard. I am thinking about robot for backyard and push mower for front yard, since it's not that much. Backyard has a decent sized hill at the back line, hopefully this robot would be ok on it.
The 315x is rated for .44 acres and with my almost .4 acre lot (with a bit of complexity) I feel like I'm probably hitting the upper limits of its capacity so with your larger yard you'd probably be better off looking at a larger model. The different mowers also have different hill capabilities as well so you'll want to make sure to pick the correctly sized one for your yard. You can find a list of all the mowers currently being sold by Husqvarna here: www.husqvarna.com/us/robotic-lawn-mowers/ and if you have a local Husqvarna dealer in your area they would be able to help make sure you right size the correct mower.
Just like a normal lawn mower, you would want to clear your lawn of debris or items that are laying out before mowing. With that said pine cones shouldn't be an issue unless they are so large the mower can't drive over them. They wouldn't get cut up but it wouldn't impede the mower. For branches, same thing but you run the risk of the branch getting wedged under the mower which could cause damage. Anything smaller then a small stick I would advise picking them up to prevent damage to any mower or person.
I only recommend this thing for small lawns with a simplistic layout. It also doesn’t mulch the grass very good, a Honda could absolutely decimate that grass
This one is for smaller lawns, top model is 5000 m² / 1.25 acres. Honda Miimo uses the same idea with small razor blades so how does it mulch? And if it should cut high grass the whole point of a robotic lawn mower is missed. Actually decimating the grass length is what they should do, if we go back to the words origin about reducing something by 10%. It should only cut off a small portion each time.
you still have to up keep with it ill stick to the traditional cheap gas mower basically disposable at least i know i wont be making a mud pit if i cant get back to the gas can ! A good workout and you feel much better about yourself in the long run . But hey if you cant do the labor this is a great mower for you !

@@Stubchain Ah a living embodiment of my favorite quote "You really think someone would do that, just go on the Internet and tell lies?" imgur.com/EmTJf0q 🤣
You need to use a particular wire type, I opted for the one from husqvarna ( amzn.to/2StjBxp ) but you can use other lawnmower boundary wire products, just make sure to check out the reviews. The one I linked is double the price compared to when I purchased last year so I'd suggest looking into other options. I also purchased wire connectors ( amzn.to/3y1CbwO ) I did three wire because I knew I was repairing my guide wire but you can get 2 wire connectors instead, just make sure they are weather proof. I then also picked up stakes ( amzn.to/3vUVc2a ) to help in a few spots that trenching wasn't possible.
Great mower until it breaks then you can wail and wait and wait for parts. Should not be allowed to be sold until they improve their spare parts supply.
That's interesting to hear that. I need to order a few parts for my robot pool cleaner and they are back ordered for months. These parts are $4 so nothing elaborate just some plastic gears. I wonder if its ramifications of the Baltimore port being closed for so long finally showing up
I mean it's only anecdotal but my lawn seems to be fuller and more healthy from the last two years of having it. Saving 3 hours a week to do other things is just a bonus :)
Depends really, there is a learning curve and if you have a boundary wire break it can be annoying. I save an hour and a half+ a week so it's worth it to me
