Dear Yarbo Family,
As we move into mowing season, we’ve been seeing a lot of great discussions around area setup, route behavior, and fine-tuning settings to get the best results.
From route angle adjustments to large-area planning — it’s clear that even small tweaks can make a big difference.
So we’d love to hear from you 
Let’s talk about your setup:
1. How do you configure your Lawn Mower / Lawn Mower Pro area settings?
2. How do you handle large areas?
- Do you split them into multiple zones or keep them as one?
3. What settings or features do you find most useful in achieving your ideal mowing results?
Every yard is different — and your setup might help others solve issues they’re facing right now 
Looking forward to hearing your tips, setups, and even lessons learned!
I have a couple areas I’ve had to split up and run the mowing pattern in a certain direction so that Yarbo can mow weak GPS areas utilizing PPVS and every other pass or so gets out to an area with better GPS to get a lock and reset PPVS travel distance. Occasionally I’ll extend the PPVS settings to get through a tough spot verifying the position is accurate enough utilizing smart vision. I also have a few areas where the grass doesn’t grow as fast so I separate those and don’t run them as often.
Front Yard: Level, but obstacles and acute pointy corners…
Parallel, with no rotation. When I did rotation, it would adjust the angle to make Yarbo keep doing 1000 point turns. Found the angle where he didn’t do that and stuck with it.
Main Back Yard: Sloped 1/4 acre large area…
I have it set for parallel and rotate every mow. I noticed on the rotations with direct up hill / down hill, it takes longer and eats more charge. I just don’t mow a large work area after that one. I pick a small one like the front.
Side Yard: Long sloping yard…
It rotates right now, but planning to switch to a large number rotation like 170 degrees if it can do that. Smaller rotation angles get Yarbo into endless bunches of 1000 point turns on short lines. Might go to parallel non-rotation this season.
Heart Attack Hill: Side yard berm and hill area - very steep…
Parallel, fixed angle. Follows the ridgeline. Used to mow that thing with the push mower nearly killing myself every summer. Thank you Yarbo! That’s why I bought it.
Farm mowing coming soon. #netRTKforTheWin
