New snowblower mode or pattern suggestion

Mine constantly gets stuck doing zero turns. There were some end of the season improvements but still some room for improvement.

Zero Turns are a real problem

Deep snow testing

Was able to run the sideyard on circle pattern with the safety boundary maxed, then I decremented it by 4 inches and ran it again to get it a bit wider…I still think slope mode or “The Nibbler” pattern would work better but the zero turns are so problematic. You need the bucket height high to eat into the banks well but anything over ~.6-.7 and Yarbo will often get stuck when trying to zero turn in. https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipPQwePRGm57zsmlG-GZQTZ94bag6yyOj0BBAkwdsVeUtIIHXhnOOEEq93_…

Deep snow mode

I was originally thinking about a Deep snow sidewalk mode, but maybe integrate into slope mode, or this could just be the general behavior for workplans or areas as well: If deep snow is detected* that requires the bucket be raised to make forward progress, do not proceed with forward progress until the lowest set bucket height is reached(this could override or substitute for the 2 pass mode). Reverse back a known good amount(1-2 yarbo lengths?), lower the bucket and try to make the pass again…

Deep snow mode example?

OK, it’s being funky downloading all the media, but most of it I’ve added here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/3UskUmNy1WfJXQLA9
