Mower Pro leaving 4-6" gaps?

Got my Mower Pro up and running with about 1.5 of my 1.8 acres mapped.

Yesterday I ran a mow across the back 1 acre and noticed there are approximately 4" gaps between a lot of the rows.

My overlap is set to 4" so the mower is off by >8" from where it should be.

Are there preferred settings that will help with this issue? My yard is a wide open, completely flat yard so nothing to get in the way of Yarbo doing its job.

Thanks!

As we discussed in messaging. Try zero overlap and see if it helps with the path planning issue or zero turns. Rotation and frequent cutting should also keep things more uniform and get the missed stuff.

What’s the logic behind setting overlap to zero if it’s missing sections? I would think you would want to increase the overlap.

I know, right? Some people in the FB groups are saying it works better this way. I have not personally tried it. But I’ve seen numerous people say it. If it does work, must change the path planning or path following behavior vs the overlaps.

Is this a Pro head only issue? I haven’t seen this with the M1. I assume you guys confirmed that both blade motors are working.

No, I’ve seen it for a long time on both heads. The trimmer, slope, and or tight corners exacerbates it too.

Will have to try the no overlap on the next mow. Its definitely leaving 4-6" gaps again today.

Im sure mowing at different angles may get whats missed, but as I’ve got 2+ acres to mow, it’s a lot of extra wear to mow more frequently.

Mind sharing some photos of the area and the map? Maybe we will see something that can help.

I just mowed it in 2 directions, so give me a few days for some growth and I’ll post on the next mow.

Not sure how well this’ll show in a picture but the dark green stripes were missed and are 1-1.5" higher than the lighter stripes.

Can you show on your map view what that looks like?

It looks completely normal on the map. This is a wide open yard so mapping pretty straightforward.

What does the under-side of your module look like? Is it missing a blade?

Any chance you have the blades on backwards, left on right, right on left? Yarbo labeled the blades backwards from how a normal left and right is on a vehicle. The deck underneath is stamped. It is a common thing people mess up.

I have no idea. Will check tomorrow and report back. It just started pouring so not headed out there right now :grinning_face:

Where on your map is the missed grass? The way most people have been dealing with this is just use a pattern like checkerboard and send it again. Curious if you tried the no overlap yet?

Missed grass stripes are through most of the right side of that map.

I did try no overlap but saw the same “miss”.

I don’t recall the left and right blade markings so will check that in the morning.

Is there any slope on the turns where it is missing?

The blades are marked and so is the deck above the blades.

No slope in the yard, its very flat and open.

I did check the blades and theyre own the correct sides.
