Can a robot really cut the lawn?

Can a robot really cut the lawn?

Posted: 01 Mar 2011 08:40 PM PST

Let me say that I have with this mower now for three seasons. I'm really excited about robotic lawn mowers. I have the Lawnbott LB3250.

I find myself stopping and looking out the window of the house in disbelief that a robot to cut my lawn. At least once if not several times a day, people on the street, stop and look at the mower to ask what it is. I'm at the point that I put a sign on top of the mower to say what has come when webuy one and how much it costs. If you have a lawn-mowing service is already doing, you can not believe how long it was actually mowing the lawn. A Lawnbott be free you from this requirement and give you more free time for the things you like.

Here is the basic operation of the mower:

If you're in the Midwest, I'm alive, this mower to start some time in the spring, March or April, when the snow is out of the yard. In general, I do not touch, until autumn, when the grassstops growing, in November or so.

I did well to take a joke? When you want to boot, it load?

The mower to decide which days and how often to cut every day. Yes, it can cut more than once a day. My mower can go 5 hours per charge, and charge back to base and then go back and cut if necessary.

This is almost everything. Trim the bushes around the courtyard and small areas also will not be. Really!

How do I know when to cut the lawn?

This is a really goodQuestion. I do not write software code, so I can not tell you more than it does now. It 's just the amount of mowing it, how fast the grass grows and how big your lawn is different. The LB3250 (and all other models) can see the load on the engine determines the most recent and the grass is not deep or profound.

How long does it take to mow the lawn?

This is really a moot point. You need to change your way of thinking about mowing the lawn. This will only mowerand go and go and it is finally done. Your grass will stay in the same amount throughout the year. No grass, short grass, tall grass, the grass short. It is not a giant clump of grass that your lawn turns brown after you cut.

What it means to be executed?

The mower has one or two batteries of 24 volts, depending on the model.

How is it calculated?

You must not do. If the battery with a nominal value of the mower-roundtrip along the perimeterTrimming, how to do it, charging the battery at home, and parks.

What if it rains?

This is a pretty good question. When it rains, the mower can do two things. Go back to home and wait to collect and press the start button, or can wait 24 hours and try again. When the rain sensor detects rain, it will then go home and wait for more, repeat, repeat, etc.

But I have hills, you can not do?

Yes, you candamn steep hills. 27 degrees is the limit of the hills can handle most of the models. The LB3500 Series can be 30 degrees hill. It may not be healthy, but a steep steep hill of 27 degrees every riding mower, with the exception of the Greens National Mower handle. Of course, to make this class, you must compensate for the optional wheels and wheelie bar. How do I know? I have for my lawnmower.

How strong is this thing?

Put it this way, you can not hear when you areHouse. In fact, you can not really hear when you are 50 meters. E 'quieter than a dishwasher (unless you have a Bosch, as I do). It starts to annoy lawn mower gas in the neighborhood, because they are so strong. This thing can sneak up at night. It 's a blinking light on the front so you can see at night.

What happens if you leave the farm?

You do not have to worry about. If the mower can be your space to hunt down the perimeter wire rotatingin a circle. If after a few seconds, you can not see the wire down and turn off the signal. The LCD panel "Out of Bounds." You just take and run it in your garden. This can happen if you have a 90 degree angle in the wire (a no no in the setup), or slipped on a wet and steep slopes, and did not fill the wheel. I experienced this, but I have two of them.

Do not hurt my dogs or kids?

If the mower up, took the knife immediatelyHe stops. You have the opportunity to launch a start-up password so that when the mower is not able to start over if you want the password. The blade guard around them so stubborn fingers are more or less protected from accidental injury. Now I understand, there is a lawnmower. If someone finds a way to deliberately get the wheels in motion, the mower and get to protect themselves evil. But then again, can not, however, that protection really stupidperson to do something really stupid, we can not fix stupid

The elder brother of my LB3250, LB3500, the, has a feature that stops the blade when someone touches the back handle. Frankly, it's never been a problem for me. I have a 4 years and 6 years and not near the machine. They call it Moe.

The neighbors have a dog, one of those little things barky, bark at a leaf. It ignores this mower.

Someone is stealing?

The mower is notWork your garden. The perimeter wire sends a coded signal that the mower is in a court authorized this. Without this signal, the mower will not start. (Is there a way dealer diagnostic, but this is how many thieves are a dealer or even know how to handle these diagnostic reach) The mower is also equipped with an audible alarm when someone takes the mower and tried to take away from it your garden. That should be enough to deter almost everyone. According to the manufacturer,No one has ever reported the theft of one of their mowers.

My home insurance will go up, right?

My insurance has not changed and I know my agent that I have this lawn mower, because I specifically listed on my policy.

Setup:

The first thing to do is cut for the last time you called in this book. This makes the perimeter much better cut and removed in strips from the first cut of the lawn. Read more.

The firstStructure of the mower may seem a bit 'difficult. It will come as a Saturday afternoon, but this is mowing. You must be a perimeter wire around the garden place, like a string of underground dog fence. The big difference between cutting the wire fence and the dog is no need to bury the wire mower. Is found only on the grass in place with pegs instead.

After 6 weeks growth of grass, is integrated into the lawn and you can not see.

After a full season, theThread is actually in the turf, and you have trouble finding it. The acres about 3 / 4, which is mowed by my LB3250 and the establishment of the wire me about 2.5 hours. When bushes or trees that did not want to take the mower, just a wire loop from the main line around this bush, and is included in the scope and is protected by ever met in the mower.

The perimeter wire serves not only as a fence to keep the mower, as well as a timetable for the line taken by the yardwhen run with the cutting cycle for the period indicated.

During the year:

The first day you have the mower, you will stand there and watch it. No doubt in my mind. Then he returns to his home at the end of the cycle and the lawn will be cut off completely. (But you have to cut before installation so that it is not visible that I have not read the manual and thought. "I spent as ?!!!") the same day two, but on the third dayYour lawn will be carried out almost completely. Remember, you are not mowing it's time to give your lawn to learn. It seems to go by chance and could not have it all. It is.

I'm on top, that your mower hangs forever here and there in the lawn, consider a, rock hole or something that you do not see or find. Just fill with soil or sand and grass seeds. After some initial futzing around, the little mowerAttention. Its limit must be in such a way as not to run the mower in a pond from a cliff or something like that can be set.

There are several ways proposed in the installation guide to tell you how far the perimeter wire of these obstacles, however. Follow them and you will keep the mower for a long time. As the manufacturer told me that the mower is waterproof, but it works just like a submarine, once before buying a new need.

Maintenance:

Are you reallyonly to tilt the blade in the middle of the season. It has 8 edges, four on each side. The blade on my LB3250 is approximately 12 cm in diameter and about as thick as the cartoon on a cereal box. You must replace the wheel motor brushes after about 4 years or so, but it is not difficult or expensive. Everything needs some sort of mechanical maintenance. Only it will not be the addition of gas oil change, always tune up, etc.

How long will it take?

Mowers equipped with a 12month warranty on all parts. Well, I've had for two years. The outer shell has scratches and a crack in the bottom edge. All this was for me not quite on the perimeter and set the mower to record something that has not caused any effect on the design, retaining walls on the sides and front-and-drop from a front retaining wall Crack the lid.

A pleasant side effect is clear that if one part goes wrong, the warranty starts from.

The batteries are ratedlast up to 5 seasons. A $ 300 for they are not cheap, but are less than 5 seasons of gas and get the gas and futzing with oil changes and customizations, etc. Your time is not free recall.

Winter storage:

Take it and put it on the winter to get to the charger. During storage, is the perfect time to sharpen the blade, the knife with a kitchen you can do this. That is the extent of winter storage.

The costOperation:

The cost is about $ 10 per year (if you leave it turned on in winter, mind you) to run in power load and run the perimeter of the mower. No gas, no oil changes.

Do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions about this mower, which is not declared here. jspahn@mac.com
