Down to the final hours on deciding to buy or not buy during the game day deals help push me one way or the other. Concerns are will it actually save me time after its set up properly or will I still spend more time per week messing with it than just cutting my grass with the zero turn. Does the pro mower have a good cut quality or does it just push the grass over more than it cuts it? Id buy the pro mower and snow blower combo, I do have plow on my truck if need be but i like how a blown driveway looks far more than a snow plow. My local yarbo dealer told me not to buy one because they still have too many problems but they were trying to push a Husqvarna on me instead. I have about 1.6 acres to mow weekly and entire backyard is a decent slope
Overall, Iāve been very happy with my Yarbo purchase.
I donāt own a Pro mower, just the normal one so I donāt have any direct experience with the Pro, but from what others have said, the Pro gets almost universal praise as compared to the standard mower.
Right now, itās snowblower season here in Michigan, and Yarbo has literally done 100% of my snowblowing this year. Knock on wood. I did end up needing my snowblower module replaced due to a wiring issue, but the exchange process was pain free and pretty quick.
For mowing, Yarbo excels in acreage type scenarios. At least for me, it was āset it and forget itā. Itās not perfect in that itās a big long heavy machine, so I donāt think itās ideally suited for trying to wind around barriers and landscaping that a smaller more agile robot would be better at. It gets the job done, but I prefer using my Luba 2 robots for really super detail oriented finish work if that makes sense.
All in all, Iām extremely happy with it. In fact, I just bought the trimmer, so Iāll be using that soon as well.
Let me know if thereās anything else youād like to know.
Hi there ā thanks for sharing your thoughts. Once Yarbo is properly set up, it can truly help save you time by reducing the need for weekly manual mowing and snow removal.
You can see across the forum that the Pro mower performs especially well in tougher conditions, such as wet or thick grass, and provides a clean, consistent cut. A lawn size of 1.6 acres is well within the Pro mowerās capabilities.
As for terrain, Yarbo is designed to handle slopes of up to 35 degrees, so moderate to steep inclines should not be an issue.
If you have any other concerns or questions, please feel free to share them here ā weāll do our best to help.
For what itās worth, after spending 10 years in commercial lawn care there is no machine I hate working on more than a mid-deck zero turn.
In 2016 I bought a brand new Ventrac with a 60 inch mower deck. In 2016 the tractor and mower deck were a $25K package.
I still have the Ventrac and use it as my personal tractor/mower. It currently has 600 hrs on it.
I pulled the trigger on Yarbo during their black Friday sale. I havenāt mowed with it yet, but Iām very happy so far with snowblower.
Iām also happy that Iām not lugging gas cans back and forth to fill my Ventrac. I would have to go through five or six gallons of fuel a week in the summer to mow, using non-oxygenated fuel, thatās 25 to $30 per week.
Can I say youāll never have an issue with your Yarbo or never have to work on it, no. Is the setup the most intuitive thing Iāve ever done, no. But if you take the time to set it up correctly, think ahead of time about zones and mapping, and really understand what this machine is trying to do. You will be happy.
At the end of the day, who are we kidding, there is yet to be an outdoor piece of equipment that will never be down.
What is important is that you have support and a responsive OEM and dealer network, because you are going to have problems at some point.
The Yarbo so far has been very easy to work on. No special tools, jacks, or lifts needed to get to anything. I really enjoy that. I can literally flip the core on its side with one hand and change the tracks in a matter of minutes.

- Improvement Over Standard Model: The Pro model is generally considered superior to the standard mower. Itās noted that the Pro gets āalmost universal praiseā compared to the standard model, which some users find less effective.
- Cut Quality Can Be Optimized: Some users have reported issues with the cut quality, but this is often attributed to settings. A common tip is to lower the cutting height (e.g., to 2.7" or 2.8") and adjust the speed. One user noted that the Yarbo was initially ājust pushing the grass overā but achieved a proper cut after adjusting the settings.
- Potential for Clogging: There are mentions of potential clogging issues, especially with the blade guards. Some users have found that removing the blade guards improves cut quality and reduces clogging.
- Highly Effective on Large Areas: The Pro mower is particularly well-suited for larger areas (like the 1.6 acres mentioned in the original post), where its ability to handle tough conditions and provide a consistent cut is a significant advantage.

You might also find yourself just staring at it while it worksā¦it can be very mesmerizing at timesā

As an Engineer/Tech person Iāve had a lot of fun while setting up but also many frustrated moments. The community here and tech support have made it worthwhile. The kids often look for Yarbo, ask what heās up to and sometimes like watching it work tooā
I tend to have the Yarbo app up on my Mac so I can watch the on board cameras as it works. Itās just cool to watch it doing its thing!
I do the same thing. Mostly as a tester, but damn itās mesmerizing and fun. SmartVision in a work plan was one of my most favorite features to test. We tested it very early last year and they took it away for a while prioritizing some other things. I really missed it. So glad itās in production now.
So that option is back now? I can watch it on my PC at work?
Yes, itās super simple if you have a Mac. You can just install the Yarbo iPad app. The live video watching is called Smart Vision, and itās available for everyone now.
You still need the Yarbo app which isnāt natively supported for Windows. Youād need an Android emulator for that.
