I have a silly question / thought about the trimmer module.

Since it attaches to the rear of the core, does it require that the M1 is installed?

Or can the trimmer be used with the SAM.

The ability to have the SAM mounted would mean the trimmer could be used in areas where the M1 isn’t ideal.

When the trimmer was released, they said it could run with SAM.

Hmm. This might be a manual brush-hog option for really horrible areas and steep, steep hills.

Thank you for your interest in Yarbo trimmer!  
To answer your question — no, the trimmer does not require the M1 to be installed. It can be used with the SAM, and we’ve conducted testing to optimize its compatibility with the SAM module.

That might be good for some of the “trashier” areas of my property.
