My turn for the excessive play in the right track. The wheel rotates 45 degrees before motor engagement. There’s one full season of 4 acre mowing on a well manicured lawn without mud and debris. This wheel doesn’t have much time left before free spin and loss of right drive.
I know they’ve changed the cut of the reduction gears to be quieter, but I haven’t heard anything about design change to this component. It’s not sustainable to replace a track drive every season.

I agree.
Been there done that, lol.
How bad and how much usage - since in yet another disregarded request, Yarbo refuses to expose any type of odometer?
5 acres, fall of first year, so a few snows, and spring and summer lawn mowing. Way too soon. Mine was really wore out, and it locked up. This was left side, right side was just a bit tighter so they would not do both.
We have initiated the replacement process for you. Thank you for your patience while the replacement is being prepared and shipped.
Regarding your feedback about the component design and long-term durability, I’ll also pass it along to our product team for further review.
This is a well known failure mode. Your response does not address the design change question. I’ll infer that it hasn’t yet been addressed. This needs to be fixed. I surely hope I will not be required to purchase another replacement drive if/when this happens next year.
