My Yarbo is wearing a path in front of my charging dock. This is mainly because it makes a 180 degree zero-turn in the same spot every time it enters the dock. Then when it leaves the dock, it advances straight forward about 10’ and makes a zero-turn to various points on the map, again in the same…

Since I haven’t actually bolted down my docking station yet, I think I’ll try just moving it over a couple feet and creating a new path.

Scott Grams (out on FB) mentioned he was going to try Yard Savers. I saw an equivalent from Vevor that’s different but way cheaper that could work. My concern is how those Yard Saver like items would work with the snowblower. I don’t know how far those things get buried into the ground at the end…

My solution was pavers in front of the dock and I don’t lower all the way down for the snow blower.

I was trying to think how I’d keep the snowblower from running into these things, and, yeah, I guess the Pathways and Sidewalks I have near the Docking Station for the snowblower could be set with a higher auger if needed. I could also bury some pavers at the level of the soil I guess, and make it …

how large of an area did you cover with pavers?

This is my current docking station setup. I need to add a few more so the mower module can spin on pavers too when it zero turns. [IMG_2429] [IMG_2425]

I just realized that zero-turns or 3-point turns can be chosen for docking and I already had 3-point turns selected, but mine makes zero turns anyway.

I am not sure why but it does tend to zero turn in front of the docking station pathway. But mine has always smart turned or zero turned based on my recharge turn preferences. Is it smart turning directly in front of the dock but zero turning in from the dock pathway?
