Remove all zero turns, do radius and U-Turns only. (Keep Smart Turns) Just change zero turns to radius turn Only, all turns, they are Smoother, quicker, tear up less, less chance to get stuck. The Leaf Blower tore up my yard, snowblower gets stuck. It’s just better.
I agree they should be removed from the core’s automatic choices, but I do think some people prefer it. I know one guy who exclusively uses zero turns for mowing his lawn. He swears it causes less damage to his lawn. However, he’s also very meticulous in rotating the turning locations and doing as many on concrete as he can.

We understand your concern about the lawn damage zero turns can cause. At the moment, we don’t plan to remove zero turns entirely, as there are certain scenarios where they are still necessary. However, we do recognize that the turning logic has room for improvement, and we appreciate you sharing your feedback with us.
I would suggest a surface type setting in the area, I’m finding the zero turns pretty damaging on non-paved surfaces with the snowblower. On the driveway the zero turns are tolerable but they also have less traction in many scenarios vs backing up and then starting off driving both tracks and slowing one down to turn into the snow. The surface type could also flag different “traction control” settings to minimize digging/high centering

I totally agree with you on that.

I understand In certain situations it has to zero turn, but the blower does non-stop zero turns as well as the Snow Blower which as the snow builds up on my gravel drive (because I can’t scrape it) it starts digging it self down in get stuck all the time. Also the head doesn’t lift up all the way when it turns in the back and forth passes and that makes it dig in worse because it pushes snow. Even if there is only 1” of snow that day, it’s the build up from many snows.

I would prefer an on/off selector for zero turns.
Allow the on/off choice for each area, because maybe zero turns can be safely used in some situations, but should be avoided in others.

@Yarbo-Forum Can we seriously look at either completely eliminating or seriously limiting these? Here’s an excellent example of how corners should be handled:
This is seriously limiting Yarbo’s true capabilities! It wastes battery, time, causes wear to the tracks, studs, and the surface. It should only be allowed if the user selects it otherwise we need something like smart turn. If I had $10 for every time I’ve had to rescue it just because of zero turns I could have bought a nice 2 stage snowblower, hired out snow removal for the season, etc…

I agree…zero turn should be under user control to turn on/off.
