Considering the X430 - Couple Questions

My lot size is 0.6 acres, with an unfenced front yard, a fenced back yard and a ~10' wide area outside the fence in the back yard along the road. The front and back yards are separated by a driveway. I have a dog and a metal fence, so I don't want to even consider trying to use the the MowGate.

I was thinking that I would have two fact patterns:

  1. On a normal basis, I would have 3 total zones for the front, fenced back and unfenced back areas. The mower would be based in the fenced back yard, and I will manually let it out to cut the unfenced areas a couple times a week.

  2. When on vacation, I would leave one of the fence gates open and have it do all 3 areas on its own.

Is that a viable plan? Having not used the software before, I'm not sure if it's a pretty simple task to choose which of the zones will be mowed at any given time.

My driveway has a bit of a raised lip along one of the sides to make sure water funnels to the bottom. I would probably need to build up a small ramp for the mower to get over it OR I would need it to go up and around via my front walkway. Is it possible to designate a very specific channel for the mower to traverse between zones in that way?

I have two large trees in my front yard that produce a large tree canopy. Is that a problem with navigation?

Finally, any reasons why I should pick the Navimow over the Mammotion Luba3?

Looking for something smaller than my full size dreadnaught

Hey all, I’ve owned a Yamaha FG700S for a long time and while I love the sound, I’ve found that I really enjoy messing around with my son’s Loog 6 string acoustic due to the smaller size of it. It’s just a lot more convenient and easier to take camping or strum around in bed. But I do want something that sounds as good as possible for the smaller size.

I’ve found plenty of suggestions from the Taylor GS Mini to the Yamaha FS830. Anything else I should be considering?

I am a tall guy with large hands so not keen on a smaller scale length. Not sure how big a deal that reduced 2” is on the GS Mini until I get a chance to try it out. I’m also not a pro or anything, so price is a factor. $500-600 is probably my ceiling.

Thanks in advance
