> I have set up a number of snowblower sidewalks and selected the option for Yarbo to back out of them instead of doing a zero turn. What I’m seeing is, when Yarbo backs down the sidewalk, sometimes the auger gets caught on uncleared snow and as a result Yarbo gets stuck and pauses the work plan. I think it would be really beneficial for Yarbo to raise the auger before backing up. A very simple thing, by the would prevent the auger blade from getting caught on any snow or ice.
