I suggest having a slower drive speed for the snowblower. I find for deeper snow, I need to set the auger height high in the area settings and run a first pass before resetting the auger height to a normal height for a second pass. I do have the auger speed at the highest setting as well as the guard fencing removed. Even like this, I find deep snow still pushes in front and builds to a barricade instead of thru the snowblower.
As an alternative, having a double pass work plan with two auger height setting would work but not as well given the first pass will always compact the snow under the tracks.
Any particular reason you aren’t sending it out every 1-2 inches? It works best this way. On smooth surfaces like asphalt and concrete, also works best at zero auger height when clearing the 1-2 inches. While it can do deep snow, it’s generally better on the battery life and the machines performance overall to send it early and often. Work twice does let you specify auger height per run.
If you are pushing snow, it’s possible the core is moving too fast or your intake speeds need to be adjusted.
I do think having rover speed being able to be set per area would be nice.
overnight build up mainly. neighbors are close enough to get annoyed and take up midnight target practice. However, I also do not have consistent results with having it go out every couple of inches, seems to skip a cycle or two then go out too late to finish in set working hours.
I have the last area in front of my dock set for maximum auger to (hopefully) completely clear any accumulated snow out the auger and chute before Yarbo docks.
Hi there, thanks for sharing your detailed feedback and suggestions.
Regarding the driving speed, we appreciate your input — it’s helpful to hear how a slower speed could improve performance in deeper snow conditions.
For the auger height, you can already use the Work Twice feature to run two passes and set different auger height settings for each run. This can help manage deeper snow by taking an initial higher pass followed by a second, more thorough clearing pass. Yarbo Weekly News Issue 51- December 10th, 2025
