Honeymoon over on x4
226 hours on the x450 and 24.6 hours on the x430. When they work, it’s great. But today both of them went off cliffs within a couple hours of each other. Using NRTK with good 4g coverage here in the US. I was seeing positioning errors earlier in the app but their lights turned blue and I sent them out.
Neither were damaged other than scratches. The one tipped over on its way down, and the alarm went off, which isn’t loud enough for anyone to hear. The other rolled (upright) down about a 3 foot in embankment and got stuck and I had to pull it back out using the winch on my UTV and it ended up upside down when I pulled on it. I can’t lift 67 pounds up a 3’ drop off on a loose embankment myself.
Convince me there isn’t something terribly wrong with NRTK. I don’t use RTK because I have some spots that are further than 600’ from the house (supposed to be max distance from what others have said) but mainly because I don’t want to setup the antennas because I may need another behind the house for the coverage in the back.
I think either the GPS or NRTK data is not getting to the mower or it is getting bad data. How is it possible to have 2 mowers do this? They were over 10 feet away from the boundary when found. I am considering trying RTK at this point but afraid of messing up my maps, even though they say it can be done without impacting them.
Idk, I’m very frustrated. My H3000 in the back fenced area, which has to use RTK, is totally fine, but it’s in a fence. I’m not sure how much I would trust these mowers around ponds, roads, or drop offs at this point.
