A couple shovels full of dirt and those tree roots and mower problems are gone.
Love the Luba videos.
Keep these coming. These are the first (ultra) long length review videos in the US! Those of us that have plopped down some cash to hold one are really interested in your results. I'd rather lose a $600 deposit that wast $2200 on a machine that doesn't work. More, please!
I think it's going to work out fine! It's super easy to set up your areas (once you figure out how to make the luba drive faster haha) It's mowing every day this week and I experimented with a few different settings to try different things out
@@Crazypostman We all have a million questions! Would be good to throw them at you to test. One is how well RTK will work if it’s blocked by a house. Most of us can’t mount it on the roof.
@@seanpetty393 yeah I could test that, where it's at on the roof I only had that one little hiccup for a few seconds in the front yard but even way in the backyard didn't seem to have any problems
3:40 love the fix
Thanks Crazy for this first cut video. It looks cool but I'm still waiting for your final verdict before I get one too.
So far yesterday it mowed the hole front yard today it mowed the front part of the backyard and tomorrow it's scheduled to mow the far back of the backyard. I did end up cutting out that side of the front yard that had all the trees It would have done it but it's going to save it so much time and since we had to manually mow the ditch anyway it won't be but a few more minutes of mowing on the big tractor to clean up around those trees too
I am enjoying and learning from your work. I have a new Luba 5000 coming next week . I am in Waurika just over to the east of you. I am probably too old (89) to do this but I am a sucker for technical stuff, hopefully I have learned how to do this from your inputs. Thanks
Thanks for watching and hopefully learning through my mistakes. The most important thing is to make sure the antenna has a nice open view of the sky, and also don't park Luba too close to your house because lupa has to see GPS satellites as well. Other than that you just got to drive Luba around to show it it's boundaries and make any no-go zones. Hopefully all goes smoothly for you!
Thanks for your reply, I believe that all of your comments are covered. I will let you know how it goes.
21:10 your excitement in about 40 seconds is childlike. Seeing this after receiving mine today.
Hahahaha! Your dad at 26 minutes!!!! I heard something and I was like "Dood!! Run it's gonna blow!!!" Thought it was the bot, and you would have had a VBIED. 😅
Depending on the type of cutting (work mode) you have set on the mower, Open up wasteland, conventional, fine or customize modes. Once you have set it and you start mowing you can then see what the mower is doing by looking at the application of the mower in action and see the pattern. You can also see how long its being doing and an estimated time to finish
Unfortunately you have to be within Bluetooth range for this to work.
Appreciate the review, but I’m still a little iffy about the cost.
Great review! But do you know of any more affordable alternatives?
Very interesting! Looking forward to new content! Greetings from Germany.
Do you know if they are available in Australia regards rogar1 very well presented
In David Attenborough's voice " here we have a North American free-range robot mower engaging in a spectacle of dance during its courtship ritual with its charge base in an attempt to couple with the base and make some sweet lovin."
Looking forward to a cut with more grass. Hard to tell the cut quality. Definitely the future for sure though.
Are you concerned about service/repairs at all? I had several automowers years ago before getting frustrated by the boundary wire getting cut constantly by the farmer behind us. Got a riding mower for the past 3 years… but this seems like a great way to get back to robotic mowing at less then half the cost of an “epos” model. I just know that automowers needed repairs annually, and if something broke mid-mowing season… that was weeks of “ok, now what” while waiting for parts and that was with a dealer right up the road.
Well, it's hard to speak to the reliability since I'm just one week in... I can say with other brands I've had mixed results My Husqvarna has been very reliable for years. My Robomower has been a lot of trouble. The only thing you should have to do with an automower is regularly changed the blades, these razor blades don't last as long as regular lawn mower blades. But other than that the point of this is to set it and forget it and just let it do its thing.
I think if your machine was not going charging triggered by itself, it should not resume working automatically after charged fully. You could test if you can resume the task manually on APP
I was trying to program schedules while the luba was mowing, I think that caused an error in its current mowing task. In subsequent mowing tasks, The charge and resume feature has been working correctly.
I've "fixed" my wire 7 times in two seasons.
WHERE DO I GIVE MY MONEY FOR THIS!!!
Hi,I live in Ireland and have just recieved my Luba 3000. I am in the process of setting it up at the moment but having a problem with the RTK antenna. Should the green light be solid and constantly on ,if the antenna is working properly. and for Luba to work Mine has a mind of its own and stays on for a period but then turns off on it's own accord. What am I doing wrong ? Any help would be greatly appreciated
If you click on your POS button in the top right of the map. Does all the connection statuses say fine? The light should be solid green if it has a good position. If it's flashing it is not good. Luba automatically turns itself off if it doesn't receive signal from RTK after a certain amount of time. I think
@@Crazypostman Apologies for late reply. Thank you for your advice. After re-positioning the RTK , everything seems to be working as should. I had originally mounted it on the roof of a metal shed, which was obviously the problem. Well done on your posts. I'm sure you have helped many others like myself. Thanks again, Kieran.
@@kieranslattery2556 no problem! I hope you enjoy your luba, mine is the most like a pet to me now 😂
The damage at 36:55 is huge! Has the mower done this a lot? I really wonder if the 4WD won't damage the grass if it always turns on the same side. What is your experience?
The tire Marks at this point are exaggerated because of the loose dirt in this area. But you do make a point The four-wheel drive turning so-called tank turns could be a problem. It's been a week since I've been able to run the luba because of the internet company laying lines all over the yard and not burying them yet. Hopefully I'll be able to get it back on its normal routine soon so we can see long-term effects.
How did you get power all the way there?
I finally got my Luba. Do you have a video on wiring it up? The Mammotion video cables don’t match mine?
There's just two cables from what I remember your power cable and your RTK antenna cable. I'll look through my videos and see if that's shown anywhere
Skip to 7 minutes and 10 seconds in this video and you can see the two connections. The one I was plugging in was the RTK so the one next to it is the power. ruclips.net/video/_3BrluSPPCY/видео.html
Did you have to relocate the rtk?
Wish you had some grass to examine its cutting. On the high center root just drop some soil around it. 😊
Yeah everything's still pretty dormant at this point. Mostly just weeds growing right now 🤣
Hey, once again, I want to thank you for your videos. They are very useful and interesting to watch. I am sitting here on the fence trying to decide if I want to jump over and buy or do I want to continue to observe and do my research. But I have a question for you. You’ve had some issues often on on some of the move shot yourself in the foot but for the most part from what I’ve observed, the Luba appears to be doing a fairly good job. My question to you is if you had to make the purchase again would you do so? And is there any suggestion or recommendation that you could make to Luba on improving their product?
Yes I would make this purchase again! I guess one of the suggestions I would make would be a more sensitive GPS receiver on Luba for pausing under trees. Most of my other concerns they have addressed already.
Do the blades last a long time?
@@rufus4779 I've had mine since February, blade still look mostly okay. I would say they need to be changed out at least every 3 to 6 months if you're using it continuously... That answer is based on experience I'm not sure what Mammotion actually recommends
Thanks for that. Where did you order your Luba AWD 5000 from?
@@rufus4779 I ordered mine last June during the Kickstarter. And I received it in February of this year! My brother ordered his in June of last year and still has not received it yet! But it looks like they're on Amazon now so hopefully that means delivery will be fast and reliable!

I think it's running the bata version of Teslas FSD! Haha 😄 🤣
It was going to mow everything but with all the trees and the curve of that road it just made its path very complicated. As for it not charging and resuming it could have been user error because it is charging and resuming now. I did cut those trees out of its path though to save it 2 hours of time lol
Also it's not showing the docking station on the map like yours .. I will let it change over night and restart it all again..
I would suggest giving it a reboot as well, hold down the power button until it goes off and then turn it back on or pull out the key and then turn it back on. When you first took it off the charger did it do the automatic pile down?
@@Crazypostman it asked me to do it.. I came out the garage and went back in.. I started mapping the yard and said it was successful however I still can see Luba on the device or I cannot see the mapped area..
@@themowerman so you lost your luba on the map sometime after it said it completed your first area successfully. Interesting... I've never lost my luba on the map lol That's a new one for me. Did you make a pathway from your new first area back to its charging station? Weird... I hope rebooting it helps
Hi one question. I saw a cable on the RTK Antenna. Ist this just for Power or do you Need also a Data Cabel to the Loading Station?
The RTK has no data connection It only takes power The data connection happens wirelessly
Thanks for posting about the Luba. I am considering getting one of my own, I have a few questions. Right now my biggest question is, will the Luba still work properly if the line of sight between Luba and RTK is blocked because the Luba is up close to the house. I would put the RTK on the roof as you have done. Looking forward to your final thoughts on the Luba.
I haven't run into any signal problems between the mower and the RTK on 3 acres. 900 MHz doesn't exactly need direct line of sight. I'm thinking about doing some torture testing with the RTK and see if I can get in a situation where it does lose signal. Maybe I'll just start driving it down the road until it stops lol
Thanks for your prompt answer. Just one more question. Does the charging base station need a clear view of the sky as the RTK does? in other words can it be up close to my house, like 2 foot away? Thanks in advance.
@@larryhansen9003 as far as I'm aware there's no GPS in the actual base station. If you remote mount the RTK It shouldn't be a huge issue to mount near the house. That's exactly what I did. But luba does have built-in GPS obviously so it might not have a good fix when it's close to the house but in my testing it has a good enough connection to be fine even near the house
Hi,
Thanks for this video.
Could you please tell me the maximum length you get without losing signal between Luba and station.
Thanks
It would be a very long distance like kilometers possibly 😂 I mean it would make for a funny video but no practical person is going to need to be that far away
@@Crazypostman Thanks, my field is 150 meters long so Luba can take care of it.😀
It seems your property would be slightly larger than mine at 3 acres
@@Crazypostman No, mine is 150 meters long but 40 meters width. Only half as yours but it’s enough for me 😅
Ohh ok 👍
Can u set a daily schedule???
Yes You can set up a schedule to have it mow when and where you want to without you having to start it everyday
@@Crazypostman OK I can't work out how to do it I can't see it in the manual I was very impressed with it today
Hi.. me again.. so I have over 20 satalites. Updated the app and running the latest version.. removed the key. Re started it and now says firmware does not match. Update the app and version.. ?? Beginning to think I will get the petrol mower out.. any help would be appreciated.
See if there's another firmware for the mower. I had multiple to download at one time
@@Crazypostman hi.. it's sorted.. apparently you don't use the app in the app store. You use the link they sent you .. it's all cut and done.. now for the video editing.. thanks for all your help
Can't wait to see your video Post a link on this comment when it's out
@@Crazypostman I have to do a 10 min video first.. then I will do some longer ones..
Does the robo replace a ride on?
It didn't replace it completely. We still need it for some areas. Plus we use the rider to pull a trailer around the yard and Ride out to the mailbox too 😂
Alright mate.. just setting mine up.. it's not showing the luba on the map and will not let me access the no go zone button.. any tips please mate ..
You have to be inside of the zone before the no go button will show up. It also has to have a GPS lock on the mower and the RTK The position logo on your phone has to show signal
@@Crazypostman I think the problem is when I start mapping I. Can't see the luba on the map..
@@themowerman that means the luba does not have a good satellite signal... Is it sitting somewhere with a clear view of the sky? If you click the POS button how many satellites does it say? Needs to be more than 20 or 25
@@themowerman It could also be another firmware update coming in needs to be completed You might check on that as well
@@Crazypostman saying 17.. I will move it tomorrow..
Once programmed is it done and over...
Yes, get your zones mapped out do your no-go zones set up your schedule and then sit back and relax
nog steeds aan het testen.
fwiw... 30 sounds like the height in milimetres.... 25.4 millimetres is an inch.
I later figured that out, My brain doesn't think in metric by default 😂
Your property is way to big for one Luba....
It seems to maintain it easily, It can finish the whole yard in a 24-hour period so it could cut several days a week and still have some downtime.
@@Crazypostman Your reply appears to confirm that mowing in straight lines is way more efficient than the random mowing pattern used by perimeter-wire mowers. In fact, your videos have been helpful in convincing me of Luba's superiority over the Robomow RS630 I now use. Thanks!
How do you know it's a he? Could be a she.
Seriously?
