Does anyone know if the body is able to run, planned route as if mowing but without the M1 attachment? Say I want to tow a weed & feed spreader to the back, but don’t need the Mower to be on or at least detached ? Maybe Yarbo can have a button on the planned route to disable module , so we can detach. I realize the Rover battery last longer when the mower is off of course. ---

The backing is the issue. It will jack knife any implement. Tow mode is coming. But no ETA. ---

That can be achieved if the route uses no reverses, but instead use lane skip U-Turn. The Yarbo would reached the end, instead of turning, and backing up, it would Turn a wider turn skipping 1 lane, going onto the next, when it reaches the end of the boundary, but this time to it would loop back to the lane it didn’t cover. Round 1 it would do 1-3-5-7-9, on return route it would do 6-8-4-2-0. No reverse. ---

Have you used U turns? It still backs up from what I’ve seen. ---

Yes I have, but if Yarbo can change the parameters of U-Turn , it may work. I’m not sure why it backs up on u turn, almost like Smart turn, that’s why I haven’t pulled the spreader yet. I’m still , perhaps I can make him a pusher 😂, instead of a puller. ---

Until Tow mode is released, you can always hook up the spreader and drive Yarbo manually. Certainly not ideal…. ---

Yeah it certainly doesn’t make sense how U turn actually works.
