Settings to Improve Mowing Efficiency with Yarbo Lawn Mower

The Yarbo lawn mower offers flexible settings that allow you to find the ideal balance between enhancing mowing efficiency and achieving a better cutting result. Whether you’re looking to speed up the mowing process or ensure a cleaner cut, there are several key settings you can adjust to optimize your mowing plan.

  1. Moving Speed in “Work Preferences”

Go to the main page and tap the settings icon in the top-right corner. Then, select “Work Preferences”, where you can adjust the moving speed.

In the “Work Preferences” page, you can adjust the moving speed of your Yarbo lawn mower, with five speed levels ranging from 0.3m/s to 0.65m/s:

  • Slowest/Slow/Medium/Fast/Fastest:

Increasing the moving speed reduces the overall mowing time. However, it’s important to note that mowing speed can affect the cutting quality: faster speeds may reduce precision, while slower speeds typically result in a cleaner, more precise cut.

  1. Turning Mode in Area Settings

To find the area settings, simply follow these steps:

There are three turning modes available to help navigate different lawn shapes:

  • Smart Turn: This mode involves a precise 3-step maneuver, perfect for tight spaces. While it causes less strain on the grass, it takes more time to complete.

  • U-Turn: When selected, the Yarbo will make a large U-turn, reducing turning time compared to the Smart Turn, but it may be less gentle on the lawn.

  • Zero Turn: The most efficient turning mode, ideal for wide, open spaces. However, it may be less gentle on the lawn compared to other modes

  1. Overlap in Area Settings

In the Area Settings, you can adjust the overlap, which impacts mowing efficiency:

  1. Mowing Along No-Go Zones and Perimeter Mowing Laps

When you enable “Mow Along No-Go Zones,” Yarbo will mow along the edges of the no-go zones. This may increase the total mowing time.

Similarly, adjusting the Perimeter Mowing Laps setting will determine how many laps Yarbo makes around the perimeter. More laps mean more time spent on the task.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. How fast does Yarbo mow? As mentioned in the “Moving Speed” section, you can adjust the mowing speed in the “Work Preferences” page. The mowing speed impacts the overall time and cutting quality.

2. How many acres can Yarbo mow? Yarbo can mow a maximum area of 6.2 acres.

3. How long does it take to mow 1 acre? Based on our testing, it typically takes 11-12 hours to mow 1 acre (including recharge time). Note: This is an approximate value, as different settings and lawn conditions can affect the result.

4. How many acres can you mow in an hour? Yarbo can mow around 0.14 acre per hour. Note: This is a reference value, as actual performance may vary depending on settings and lawn conditions.

5. Is it better to mow fast or slow? The answer depends on your needs. At slower speeds, the blades have more time to cut the grass, resulting in a cleaner, neater cut with smoother edges. This provides a better overall lawn appearance.


Final Thoughts

By adjusting these settings, you can tailor the Yarbo lawn mower to meet your specific needs, whether that’s speeding up the process or focusing on achieving a perfectly manicured lawn. Experiment with different combinations to find what works best for you and your yard!

Is there a way to be able to customize the work settings per area/plan? I have a large yard that I have cut up into several areas. I would like to have different work settings in each area/plan instead of having the same setting across all areas and plans. For example, I want it to drive on the slow setting with the smart turn for my back and front yards for a finer/cleaner cut, but I am ok with running on the fast mode for a field area that I just want done quickly. Currently I manually change it before each run.
This will be useful for the future tow mode (which I hope is included in the next update, the email about it today did not mention that it will be included)

Not currently but there is already a feature request here for that or possibly several. Give it a heart if interested. @Ken probably has the link handy. For an old guy he has a memory like a steel trap.

LOL, nope, I’ve been retired for half a decade, so my brain’s pretty dead. I created a unique job in Software Quality Assurance for my career that, among other things, let me be totally obsessive about bug databases and content. And here I am again, you lucky devils.

Duplicates vex me!

Will do my best to search first and put things in the right place, sir.

Best you do, @Ryan. It’ll come out in your next review.
