Plow mode patterns

I would like plow mode to have more than one work pattern. Now it only plows at 90 degrees to the driveway. This adds turns, lengthening the time of the plow.

I would like to have the option of designating plowing direction toward a point or points of my choosing.

This would be nice. The only concern is that the plow can only push so much snow. You can set the plow direction under area settings. Have you played with that? It’s not granular, but it does let you tweak it some.

I don’t what to mess with my snowblower pattern in the same area. I suppose I could map and name a second driveway. Name it “driveway plow” and direct it toward one smaller point.

I might give that a try when I get back from skiing :grin:

It’s actually separate from your snow throw direction. Kinda like setting the slope in slope mode. But, I definitely understand your trepidation with changing things remotely. Definitely wise not to so you can monitor changes IRL.

It looks like Yarbo support beat me to my suggestion. There is a plow direction setting. Awesome :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

Yes—just as Bryan mentioned, you can adjust the plow direction setting. When you’re back, you may want to try changing that direction and see if it helps improve plowing efficiency by reducing turns.

Hopefully this gives you more flexibility in how the plow operates.

I did change the setting and it worked perfectly. Cleared all the hard packed snow just in time for today’s fresh snow.

Love the product!
