Looks like I am victim to the worn out mower caster wheel bearings. One is quite a bit looser than the other, but they both have play. I mow about 4 acres.
You guys might want to keep an eye on these wheels. I just opened a ticket so Yarbo can address this for me.
I mow 6 acres. My casters clog up avery few days. What clogs is the top swivel, and the wheels get locked in one direction making it hard for yarbo to make turns. Is this what is happening to you? I can swivel, rinse, and lube them to free them for a few more days, but they allways lock back up.
I’ve been watching this as well. Mine are good. In the pics I’ve seen, the failures look like the caster is getting stuck perpendicular to it’s rolling direction and getting yanked back and forth as the rover tries to free itself, maybe on a tree root or some other raised area.
I’ve reviewed your support ticket and apologize for the earlier response you received. I’ve asked our support team to escalate your case, as the amount of play in the caster wheel you described is not normal.
We’ll continue to follow up with you through the support ticket. Thank you for your patience and understanding!
Saw a lot of issues with those wheels (among other things on these devices). I started adding grease at the same time I grease the tracks. For now no issue… I wonder if we can get these machine to work for 4 years +…
Could you please submit a support ticket regarding the issue? It would be helpful if you could attach any relevant videos to assist our product team in further investigating the issue. Thank you for your understanding!
@arojandro and @Micke are you guys in sandy areas? I honestly haven’t had any issues with the casters. I really thought I would when I first saw them, but so far so good for me….
No. Just lots of dirt and I mow quite low (4cm) and often. The wheels are always jammed and the right one often stuck. But this is a minor problem IMO. When I walk pass the charger I remove the dirt around the wheels and tracks. The first time it happened I used WD40 to help remove everything and then I’ve put SuperLube. Since then, no issue. But I am not surprised, it also happened with my former Husqvarna. Had to change the two front wheels for a similar issue… I much prefer this than to have a motor heigh issue (which I don’t!)
