Automate slope recognition so automated setting optimization occurs instead of making a slope a work area specifically. Terrain is complex. Mapping a hill as a work area vs adjacent flat areas is cumbersome and not as easily done as stated. Yarbo has settings for tilt detection. So Yarbo must ha…

Count me in on this too. wheelie city, destroys the grass trying to get traction. Considering using the tow hitch to add some weights, but not quite sure how I can make it work. Weights on the side won’t be as effective as those that are furthest away from the M1 module. I’ve got a back hill tha…

I am also experiencing difficulties with slope mowing. The desired mowing pattern should eliminate the need for Yarbo to perform turns on inclines. Instead, it should follow a linear path—ascending the slope, then reversing along the same track to descend, before shifting forward to the adjacent lan…

I made up a weighted tow hitch…and it did not help much. But it was a long arm, and different implementations might be more successful. [2025-04-25 13.38.29] [2025-04-25 17.25.37]

I suspect the weight needs to be right at the rear. I’ve seen reports from others that this has helped.

I have taken my work area that is my steepest slope and spent a couple hours just drawing a series of deadends and then combining all of them into a work area. The Yarbo and M1 easily goes up staying on my deadend pathway. Going down it does ok as it starts to back down. This is working relativel…

How much does it weigh? Can you add more weight to the back? I’ve got a plan to make a lawn striper filled with sand to add more weight back there.

I added four 5 lb weights to the rear hitch. That solved the reverse bucking problem. [IMG_0159] PS: The foam board is just an experiment to keep the battery from overheating in the sun (It works).

I just got the new FW that does an auto adaption by slowing down the mowing speed when going downhill. It keeps a closer track as long as it is mowing on a small slope angle, or going almost directly downhill on a large slope angle. My yard is almost all slopes (rolling) at a variety of angles up …

about 10lbs but it’s leveraged so it looks like more weight… Tim
