Tow Mode Status

Yes please.

@Turk Hi there,

Thanks for your message and for pointing out the timing needs.

Tow Mode ETA: If all goes smoothly, Tow Mode is planned for the next app/firmware update. We’ve adjusted our schedule to bring this feature forward.

BBM & Updated Tow Hitch: Based on the current plan, these will most likely ship together with the trimmer. I’ll share your request with the team about the possibility of sending them earlier, but for now the expectation should be that they come in the same package.

Appreciate your patience, and we’ll keep you updated as things progress.

Thanks for the update. And when is the next update planned?

@yarbo-forum Yes Please, Fall leaf drop has begun here as well in the south. Please provide an ETA for Tow Mode feature update. Tow-behind operations (aeration, overseeding, leaf sweeping, etc.) is needed ASAP very much appropriate timing of the season. Longer you wait the less these very important steps needed for a healthy lawn. Even more in the northern areas, as it get colder there first. Please, and thanks for any updated time line for Tow Mode planning for the next app/firmware update. Glad that you’ve adjusted your schedule to bring this feature forward.

Maybe in 2025? :grin:

@kolbe @dandbstephens The new update is currently being tested among our Product Pioneer Program users. We’ll be collecting their feedback first, which will help us determine the exact release date for the next update. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to make sure the release is as smooth and reliable as possible.

That sounds good. Thanks for the update. I looking forward to the four small words. update is rolling out. :grin:

11/14/25: Is there any intention of Tow Mode being activated prior to Nov 30, 2025? Pull behind leaf sweeper and core aerator remain idle awaiting release.

Please advise if release is further delayed so rental equipment can be obtained to complete these tasks.

Thank you

My experience with towing a lawn sweeper wasn’t very good. Yarbo was too slow to be effective.

Interesting.

Well, that’s enough insight for tonight I’m afraid. Kind of flies in the face of all my justifications to sell the riding mower & snow blowers for the new Yarbo that’ll replace them all.

Thanks again for the insights Ken

My experience trying to tow a lawn sweeper is identical.

Yarbo is too slow for the sweeper to function effectively, and Yarbo cannot easily turn around when pulling the sweeper.

Unfortunately, I don’t see Tow Mode ever working with a sweeper, but I look forward to using it with other yard implements.

Exactly!

Lawn sweepers are effective on quite high speeds.

Sometimes it’s even tricky with lawn tractor. Yarbo is just too slow for this.

@Turk Hi there, at this time we do not have plans to include Tow Mode in the next release, so unfortunately it will not be available by November 30, 2025.

3/10/26: Hello, has there been any progress done with Tow Mode? Will there be any progress regarding Tow Mode or is this an abandoned feature? Thank you

Sorry, but we still do not have a timeline to provide yet.

Boys and girls. so the month has come that we have been waiting for. TOW Mode month. last month was Trimmer month but now it is TOW Mode month. hope it fits this month. :grin:

UP. Yarbo can be much more versatile with tow mode. It will be a big marketing point with the tow mode that allows Yarbo to do lawn aerating, dethatching, tilling etc which are typically lawn maintenance tasks.

Would be nice to finally have Tow Mode for Yarbo.

I need to do my spring fertilizer treatment soon, and would LOVE to have Yarbo take care of it for me.

We are in a severe drought and I am seeing dry spots in the yard. Would love it if I could send Yarbo to go core aerate really heavily in those areas. I think that would help water get deeper into the roots. I mean I have it core aerated every fall, but some areas just seem more compacted than others.
