r/Yarbo

The track grease that we received in the little jar- is there a similar formula available in a caulking tube that would make it an easier application?

I've generally followed the advice of going slow is a better cut and quieter. So I have Yarbo set to mow at the "Slow" speed. So not "Slowest", but one up from that. It's worked very well.

Has anyone experimented with faster speeds? For example, would running it at "fastest" but doing it daily produce similar results to Slowest once a week?

Just curious if anyone has experimented here.

As we head into fall, it's a good time to rethink mowing height. Cool season grasses generally benefit from a slightly taller cut heading into autumn since it encourages deeper roots and better cold tolerance. Warm season varieties often do well being gradually lowered toward the end of the season before dormancy sets in. The one third rule (never removing more than a third of blade height in a single cut) still applies year round, including with robotic mowers, so it is worth adjusting your schedule gradually rather than making a big change all at once.

Soil type, sun exposure, and grass variety all play a role too. A shaded, poorly draining area might need a different approach than an open, well drained section of the same yard. For those running robotic mowers, this is also a good time to check your mowing frequency settings, since letting grass grow a bit longer between cuts in cooler weather can actually help the lawn store energy for winter.

Curious what heights everyone is dialing in for fall, and whether you're adjusting mow frequency or zones alongside it. Always interesting to hear how different soil types and setups change the approach.

Is anyone else having trouble getting a Yarbo Lawn Mower Pro Module?

I ordered the complete system on July 5. Yarbo charged my card and shipped everything else - including the Core - but only afterward disclosed that the mower module was out of stock.

After I first contacted them they told me inventory was expected around July 23. Support later said inventory had reached the warehouse and that shipping would occur by July 28, but that never happened. And then after more emails last week, I was given a new date - the batch is supposed to be processed tomorrow but I have my doubts.

I still want the system and haven't requested cancellation yet, but I'm getting really concerned that ongoing support is going to be nonexistent if they can't even commit to a ship date. Will probably cancel a week short of my credit card's chargeback deadline here in about 2 weeks.

Following up on a subreddit post about the FCC Ban, I spotted a comment from Yarbo on a Facebook post on their M-Series FB Group:

>We're aware of the FCC's recent action on advanced robotic devices and we're following it closely.

>Based on our current understanding, the rule applies to new models seeking equipment authorization in the US and isn't retroactive — so the Yarbo products already authorized and on sale [in the US] remain available, and their sale, use, maintenance updates and customer support aren't affected.

>For products not yet released in the US, availability depends on the regulatory pathway that's still being clarified, and we're not able to give a date at this time — we'd rather say that than give a date we can't stand behind. We're working through the requirements with international certification bodies, and we'll share each step as it's confirmed rather than waiting until everything is settled.

We don't know how severely this impacts the M-Series release date but sounds like they'll issue an update when they have all the information. I think it's smart that they're waiting till all the information is known because they've definitely missed deadlines in the past and I'd rather wait than have more missed deadlines, even if it's just for information.
