I see lots of posts in 2025 regarding tow mode being released but have not seen anything in a few months. Is this still happening. I have so many uses for it and wish it was available!
I sure hope so.
I have been eagerly awaiting Tow Mode. Iâll need it again in the spring when itâs time to fertilize the yard.
There is no official timeline announced but I would hope, if they can swing it, that it would be released around spring. It is currently being redesigned based on waypoints.
Me too!!!
Thanks for sharing your interest! We donât have a clear timeline to share yet, but Iâll pass your interest in this feature along to our product team.
What was the original design? 
Id be happy to be a beta tester of the mode.
I think it was more path plan based.
Are there any work arounds for a tow mode? Maybe a long sidewalk or something?
I believe @Kolbe has quite the example
My experiments with creating long sidewalks as a Tow Mode substitute didnât go well.
Basically, you can âdrawâ a path by driving Yarbo around, and youâd expect Yarbo to then just repeat what you created, exactly as you created it.
In reality, Yarbo really doesnât really like to make turns without potentially stopping and doing zero turns. Even worse, sometimes it stops, backs up, then zero turns, then starts driving forwards again. So that means whatever you are towing will have the potential for jackknifing and/or snapping the hitch.
My advice for now is to wait for the real Tow Mode.
I just need the new hitch so I can run it manually in the spring. On the bright side Iâve been told the new hitch along with some other items should ship in the next few days. Fingers crossed. Not really holding my breath but you never know.
Perfect. Although âwaiting for real Tow Modeâ is easier, weâre going to learn more by doing what is possible now, and being prepared for when/if itâs ever ready. Is there a requirements(wish) document anywhere? Otherwise, âtow modeâ is going to mean something different to most people.
Thatâs crazy!!! must have taken forever to drawâ
You also probably have to keep an eye on it to manually end it towards the end of the workplan? Or do you put and obstacle or something in the way so it aborts?
Holy smokes itâs almost MarchâŚwhen did that happen!? I really hope they ship me the BBM, I need to create a ballast for winter use
yes it took forever. and have made them a few times. 
also why i have asked and hope for tow mode in a year soon. have made 2 small areas. with a pathway between without connecting them to the charging station. drive yarbo in to the first area. and set a waypoint in the next area. then yarbo will follow the pathway without PPVS on. if something happens on its way it will not drive home to the charging station and it will stop if it gets outside the pathway. sometimes it can zero turn too much so you must not turn too sharply when making the pathway. but the waypoint does not work after last update.
2 scoops of Yarbo!!?!
Nice.
