This is nice! A first video demonstrating capability of Yarbo. Excited to see more of these.
This has been, in my opinion the best video so far about the mowing capabilities, super excited that it is capable of 2.3 acres a day. The snow videos have been decent but i think a lot of the issues with snow will be more of the environment it is in and the surfaces it has to work on.
A powered reel mower attachment would be a game changer for most people Bermuda grass lawns. Golf courses could also use it if you made a larger faster version.
Looks great 👍
Can you show the cut versus uncut line. Is there a maximum that can be cut each time? What is the longest the grass will cut?
What about hills and slopes? Of course it works on flat level grass.
Love the idea of tracks but it sounds a bit clunky😊
What's the added benefit of 6 blades per disk vs the current 3 blades? Slower RPM?
Correct and replacing blades less. It's a tradeoff though that we'll have to find the right balance for.
Questions:
1) Why was the yarbo not going right up to the lawn perimeter before making the turn?
2) What is the minimum turning radius?
3) I noticed grass clippings flying out of the sides. Shouldn't you be catching these, otherwise more dangerous projectiles such as sticks and stones can also fly out
4) Are there any constraints that might cause the gps to lose accuracy? For example, does the mower require line of sight to an antenna at all times (might not be feasible for lawns with trees)
Suggestions:
1) Allow multiple mowing patterns to be programmed and remembered and allow alternation between the different programs. This way the yarbo won't traverse the same path every time and it will give the grass a chance to recover from the back and forth traffic
2) Do whatever you can to reduce the frequency of mows. I have found with the Landroid that the frequent driving over the grass actually kills off the grass
3) Traction control - Do whatever you can to detect and prevent spinning of a wheel/track before it digs a hole in the lawn (as the Landroid tends to do)
4) Make sure (unlike Landroid) that all functions of the yarbo can be controlled from the app so the user never has to press buttons on the yarbo itself
5) Make a video to show us how the yarbo leaves and returns to the charging station. Ideally the yarbo could even live inside a garage, trigger the garage door to open and close (eg using the same APIs that HomeAssistant uses to control Chamberlain garage doors). This way it's inside most of the time and less likely to be stolen
Hi Mark, we really appreciate your comments. Please find the answers below:
1. We shoot this video to show the cutting quality ONLY and Yarbo is controlled by remote controller in this video. And for the capability to cut at the edge, we are still developing it and will keep you update.
2. With the unique design of tracks, Yarbo can do a zero-turn which is exclusive in the robotic lawn mower market.
3. It’s ordinary that the grass clippings will fly out of the sides when it is cut down by rotating blades because they are so thin to fly through the fender around the cutting discs. However, for any larger objects like stones and sticks, they can hardly get through the fender so no risk of being thrown out.
4. Yarbo doesn't need to be in the line of sight of antenna because they are communicated through 4G. And indeed, when operating near high wall or really dense trees, the satellite signal might be not that accurate but we have applied IMU and other sensors to help improving the accuracy. For the actual performance under the tree, pls refer to the video we released on 5th Oct.
Also, for your suggestions, indeed we have taken into account to change the mowing path regularly to avoid damage to the grass of duplicated path. What’s more, another layer of track will be added to current one and a three-point turn will be applied to lower the impact on the grass. Lastly, as a smart IoT device, you can control everything on Yarbo app and the connection to those popular platform for smart home appliances is on the way.
I like it.
So is your expectation that the Yarbo would be cutting the lawn every day versus the 3 days in between?
Based on the current performance...either one is fine.
Keep in mind if you only cut every 3 days that will allow a layer of thatch to eventually build up (like any lawn)
If only you released this video well before the end of the campaign so some of us could make the decision
We did release this video before the end of the campaign.
One day before it ended didn't help when It has been asked for months
Everyone has the opportunity until the minute the campaign closes to join or leave the campaign.
For US$5500 I think you could put a lot of the pieces you put into each attachment into the main tractor and make it so the attachments only receive power from a PTO motor inside the tractor itself. Remember Occam's Razor or incredibly bluntly, KISS: Keep it Simple Stupid. The reason I say this is the average robot vacuum has more inside it software and sensor wise at a much lower price. Selling this thing for the price of a decent garden tractor may scare people away. Does each cutting disk have a motor? You could simplify this quite a bit by just running a timing belt or a roller chain to each spindle and route it back to a gearbox to connect the PTO motor inside said tractor. It appears the snow blower auger housing is made of plastic, for the price of $2000 for this unit again, take the sensors and lights out of the blower, put them in the main unit and make it from steel and you could sell the snow blower for $250 or 500 instead of the aforementioned amount.
Was hoping to see it take on higher grass. Like at least above your ankles.
If you're maintaining your lawn as you should, why would your grass ever get that high?
@@dontbanmebrodontbanme5403 Because the average American has a million other things to occupy their time jackass. We're not all lawn lovers and would rather spend time with family and friends than trying to keep a yard pristine.
In spring time in Ohio it’s been too wet to mow yet, and the grass is at least ankle deep in spots
@@dontbanmebrodontbanme5403ever have a accident superman? There is plenty of reasons why grass could get high. Hell simply fertilizer can shoot it up like that in a week.
It will cut!
Yea ya at least hope it will at least cut right.
This is very interesting.
* - $4,400? - a little pricey, but if I could truly have my lawn cut to a perfect length year after year without me having to constantly go out and fiddle with it, like I have to with my Worx Landroid L, then it's worth it
* it weighs 121 lbs???? - YIKES! Thank goodness it's on tank treads to spread the weight out. Maybe it's a good thing, it'll get better traction and will be harder for thieves to just come and steal. Speaking of which...
* What security devices are in place? GPS? A lock so it's not usable in another yard?
* It would have been nice to see the RTK system set up
I just found out about this mower by chance and am surprised I haven't seen any reviews on it. While it's nice to see a Yarbo video, I want to see people who aren't employees of Yarbo or people given the robot for free to make a video about it review it and so far, I haven't seen a single person do so. Why is that?
You think 121 lbs is heavy for a lawn mower? Ever owned a Commercial Honda? That's what they weigh dry (no oil or gas). The same could be said about Scag's SFC21 as it's similar in build to the Honda, just with a more powerful engine. I still look at these glorified robot vacuums and think I still enjoy cutting my grass with my mowers and I have at least three variations to choose from: two Honda walk behinds, a Series 2000 from Cub Cadet with a 38" deck and a Walker zero turn riding vacuum mower (even though the deck is 36 or 38" wide and only mulches). Heck, I am one of few people who also likes vacuuming.
This one also does snow blowing in the winter and leaf blowing (kinda pointless, but more power to them). The attachments are pretty expensive and compare to much larger tractor attachments in price as there's a lot of complexity in each of these things like cameras and lights. I would say that they should go back to the drawing board, implement these things in the tractor unit and just make it so the attachment only gets kinetic power from a tractor mounted PTO motor. I mean, at US$5500 for the tractor only, that seems like a fair price and each module could be brought down to about $250-500. Occam's Razor, Yarbo.
Fought this was gps look like guy driving it with remote?
Once you set it up (with the remote) it then uses gps everytime it mows
@@jonathantyree8172 what does that mean.
@@TC-dk6do it stores the path in its memory the first time you mow. Once that its done. Its uses the gps signal to remember the path you created
You should show on grass that actually needs cut
We appreciate your suggestion! Keep an eye out for our new series of videos where we'll be showcasing lawn mowers in various real-world conditions!
Your grass is already mowed
Hello and thank you for your comment. You might have noticed that part of the lawn is already mowed, which is because we've conducted numerous tests in that area to assess various capabilities of our lawn mower. However, we've also demonstrated Yarbo’s performance on the unmowed sections of the lawn, where the stripe effect is clearly visible in the video.
I'll echo that this isn't much of a test, and overall as well with the snowblower you are relying on a tight snow removal and lawn mowing schedule to deal with what could become inadequate power under certain weather conditions like days of rain where grass may grow several inches a day or severe and sudden snow storms that could arise.
So then you would have to own the real tools or call someone to get it back to spec to use $15k worth of equipment?!
Aside from that, the concept and build quality as well as software seem really decent but at the current pricepoint a top of the line hydrostatic mower and separate blower that can quickly handle deep grass or snow would be quite a bit cheaper.
Upscale it by 50% and you would capture a more serious backyard enthusiast crowd.
I'd suggest 18" x 24" snowblower intake and a 34" total width of mower deck with 4 to half inch height adjustment.
The oversized yard roomba will have some market, but if you can't sell a mower down south and a snowblower up north you are off target.
Sry about the constructive criticism, you likely have heard it, but maybe not loudly enough. Americans are power junkies when it comes to equipment and cars. Bigger and more capable is better even if the need never arises.
Thank you for your valuable feedback! Yarbo is a versatile tool, equipped with different modules for different seasons - a snow blower for winter and a lawn mower for summer. This ensures your yard is well-cared for throughout all seasons. As for power supply, Yarbo includes a wireless "docking station" where it can autonomously go for recharging. After you've mapped out the cleaning areas, Yarbo will handle the yard upkeep on its own, guided by the schedule you set. We always appreciate your insights and suggestions!
Please make a reel mower with grass collection and a scarifier. You need a scissor cut and it needs to pick up debris.
I can't tell the difference! Cut some long grass!
The video quality is very poor
What did I miss here. The lawn looks messy. Also who’s going to blow the mess in the street? My neighbors won’t be happy
Cutting grass that is already short. SMH. If you wanna do a demonstration try to cut taller grass.
You clearly don’t know how robot mowers work. It’s not required to cut long grass since it cuts frequently.
@@Thecaptainblackadder you don't get it. He is doing a demonstration so we wanna see if the robot is able to cut and handle taller grass.
@@bogoss2393 It need not be able to. That’s not what you should be worried about. I would want to know how it can handle turning in narrow areas given its size, how better/worse it performs given it doesn’t use wheels (which is very unique), how does it handle bumps given the belt design etc.
I believe the gentleman said the purpose of this is to maintain the grass cutting. So hire a pro for the initial cut then use this. Following year use it before grass getting too high. I just don’t like the price.
Who In the world has time to mess with this crackerjack box mower. Get a real mower.
