I have a new Yarbo on it’s way next week. What would be the best way to spread rock salt on a tow spreader, create a map or just use the remote? Long driveway. ---

Manual control is the best option at this point. With the lack of the official tow mode, Yarbo will occasionally do a zero turn and back up which breaks the hitch. that’s my experience. ---

What @ken.w.gregory said is accurate. Don’t recommend autonomous use for towing currently ---

I have created a pathway between two small areas that are not connected to the charging. so if it drives outside the pathway or loses RTK or something where it normally wants to drive home and charge it can’t when it is not connected to the charging station. to my tow behind rake ![Screenshot_20251204-161413](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex007/uploads/yarbo/original/2X/4/4927edb82340ffe3b5fc40260a4a911f5a79d79e.jpeg) ---

Is that like a 3 mile long pathway? ---

Yes, it takes about 50 minutes from one area to the next, where you then drive to the way point and Yarbo stops there and waits. Gotta come up with something when Tow Mode keeps getting postponed. ---
