How to Install Husqvarna Automower® Robotic Lawn Mower

[@earthling1984]

7:52 - yeah put it right out front where theft is most likely... Put it in your back yards people.

[@DallasHVac]

Yeah but people who can afford this mower usually don’t live in a crime ridden area.

[@earthling1984]

@@DallasHVac Crime is everywhere.

[@VarvasNukka]

@@earthling1984 In a broad scale yes, but there are massive differences between nations and even neighbourhoods. I live in an area where most people don't even lock their doors for the night and leave all kinds of stuff in their yards like grills and such and in northern Japan people leave their cars running while they shop.

[@RT-qz5ci]

@@earthling1984 facts. It’s naive to think someone wouldn’t steal in a nice neighborhood. Rich people steal all the time. Stealing isn’t about how much money you have some people steal for the thrill. Some people are drunk. You never know.

[@earthling1984]

@@RT-qz5ci Thieves drive around to all different neighborhoods. I live in an area you wouldn't expect theft. But, there are cars broken into and stolen often (I see reports on NextDoor app all the time). Very naive to think theft won't happen anywhere. A few years ago we had a group of people from out of town going around to all the upscale towns and robbing their convenience stores at gunpoint. Yeah, I'll keep my house doors locked, and, my car off and locked while shopping...

[@Adrian-xx6mg]

I gather by the glitch at 5:36/5:37 that the lawnmower does not come with an installation kit? Is that right? Do I have to buy the installation kit separately?

[@benprofessab1496]

is the guide wire and boundary wire the same? I only received one spool. Does that mean the spool is used for both?

[@Truthbomb918]

They are 2 separate wires. The guide wire is for recharging and the mower follows it back to the charging station. It is connected into the boundary wire at a point away from the charger and ran all the way back to its own connector on the charging station

[@nojibsailor]

Yes , correct

[@petraxbeanforever5923]

Does the guide wire absolutely have to go under the center of the charging station? I saw a channel underneath the station that was slightly offset from center and in capital letters it said "GUIDE". I place the guide wire in that channel which caused it to come out the front off center. Does the mower mainly use the radio frequency for docking, or is it mainly using the guide wire when docking?

[@Truthbomb918]

Put it in the guide channel if one is present. Mower normally drives slightly to the left of the wire so it should be in line with the charging plates when it returns

[@karlheine5614]

If I cross driveway as recommended at 17:46, would the mower simply cross, or would it spend time “mowing” that section/width of the driveway? How does it know it is on the driveway rather than on grass?

[@GG-ub4ej]

Probably waist a little time mowing it. Just my thought.

[@normt430]

Our Worx crosses sidewalk to tree lawn and considers it lawn. As they mention in the video use the openings already in thr concrete to lessen non-cutting times.

[@walione1000]

I did the layout and installation by studying the on line videos Husqvarna had on the web kzbin.infoUgkx2KDztGvdU79XTmlqIMSUyPq8CjprGJOR also recommended it When I started the unit it stated it would take a few days to learn all the spots in the yard. So I thought it was just finding the areas till I noticed it was cutting. It is so quite you don't know it is cutting.

[@illus1ve]

Please don't ever have your Robotic Lawn Mower running at night, as it will end up running over young hedgehogs.

[@robertpinder2307]

We don't have hedgehogs here in Southern Ontario but we have snakes. Sadly snakes too can get killed. - ours slashed a large old garter snake which lived in our back yard for several years. He was left with some nasty scars and we called him "scarbuck" but next summer our mower "Mo" got him again and this time he didn't survive. I don't know what we can do - it was so sad - our snakes get pretty used to us. But, any mower can be deadly. We have stopped cutting a swale completely because it is home to lots of snakes and frogs and toads. In a perfect world we wouldn't need a mower at all because we wouldn't have a lawn.

[@christopherknowles]

This is a feature.

[@captainzeppos]

@@robertpinder2307 a lawn with snakes ain't a lawn but a jungle filled with serpent monsters

[@Luckingsworth]

​@Captain Zeppos Yeah that sounds more like a lawn next to a forest which 90% of homes wont have to worry about. The whole point of lawns is to avoid giving living space to such creatures.

[@illus1ve]

@@Luckingsworth I think you'd be surprised. You don't have to be living next to a forest to experience diversified wildlife in your garden. Snakes are not common where I live at all - yet, we've still encountered them near our respective houses a couple of times. Many animals roam - and they actually roam farther than most people expect.

[@shuangshuangzhuang9464]

Hi, can I have my 315 lawnmower go around the perimeter? So he can cut up the grass on the side. Does it do that?

[@mikenotta7079]

Yea , if you don't have a fence or you have beds in front of all hard surfaces.

[@shuangshuangzhuang9464]

@@mikenotta7079 Thank you very much for your reply

[@subwarpspeed]

No there isn't any edge cutting. The disc it located centrally. When it moves it bounces on the wire and it will maintain a constant, not jagged, border to whatever grass is beyond.

[@karl9050]

Very good presentation.

[@DurangoKWest]

My 435 AWD has been in repair shop for 3 months now. I am paying monthly payments on my automower on top of monthly payments to a local lawn service. The company is completely unresponsive and unsympathetic to my situation. How long is too long for a repair? This was a known factory defect. European customers were compensated with cash payments. If this were a new car purchase the dealer would provide a loaner. I don’t understand how husqvarna can stand by these business practices. DO NOT BUY AN AUTOMOWER

[@fredrikholmqvist8281]

They would give u a new unit if they could. Hella issues with Components bcuz covid

[@nidamreps]

good video

[@AirbusA333]

Good job !

[@oslius]

so actually there is a lot of work to do. where is the time saver ? if you cut the wire you need to spend time/money on cable finder tools to find the cut and also to fix it. why those "smart devices" don't work same as the smart vacuum robots where you can set boundaries from an app ? let's say they don't need to scan the full yard, but you can upload a map of the garden...

[@GG-ub4ej]

On their website they are working on that. It has a stationary point and works with GPS. Something to look forward to and makes aerating the lawn realistic again.

[@karl9050]

Every week, the Husqvarna automower saves you the few hours you spend mowing.This is the time it saves you.

[@captainzeppos]

Exactly my point. Vacuum cleaners that cost 1/10th the price can have virtual zones, map surroundings etc, all set via smartphone. On the other hand Automower needs rolls of cable around the plot? It doesn't make sense, it sounds like 1980 technology.

[@alcambero]

Ha, of it too much trouble for you, get a gardener...😉

[@subwarpspeed]

@@captainzeppos A vacuum robot has it nice indoors in a flat environment where it only needs a rotary LiDAR and most things it can encounter are static solid objects it doesn't expect to slip in slopes. outdoors it isn't flat so a rotary LiDAR wouldn't work. You would need LiDAR that see in height too. More expensive. And not every lawn has walls around it. On to the street. Or when neighbors share a lawn (no fence in between, just an imaginary line). Furthermore you have bushes and trees with low hanging branches that move with the wind so not static. It's a lot of a harder problem to solve than indoor vacuum cleaners. What they have started since a few years is to have a RTK GPS solution where it has 2-3 cm precision and it doesn't understand the environment, just remember its position. Then there is the factor of how big the market is. Husqvarna Group (includes Garden,a Flymo, McCulloch) wrote on a page last year I think they sold their 3 millionth robot mower. The 1 millionth was in 2017 and they have been at it for 25+ years so it picks up. Many are value oriented machines, top tier with advanced tech are quite few. And Husqvarna is big on robot mowers. There aren't so many that own a lawn and thus far the US hasn't adopted it like northern Europe. Compare that robot vacuum cleaners. Think of everyone in apartments. A lot of people in China etc. That global market must be tens of millions of units per year. It brings the price down and any R&D is spread out on many units.

[@captainzeppos]

So my $300 Xiaomi Roborock vacuum cleaner has laser sensors, GPS, can map the entire floor and its obstacles and so on. I can even set up virtual no-go zones in my smartphone and the vacuum cleaner won't go past these. On the other hand for the $3000 Automower we have to install hundreds of meters of cable around the house and bury them under grass? What the hell? At the same or even lower price I can get a tractor/rider which among other things sucks and stores cut grass rather than having it lying around, and doesn't need to replace blades every week or so (Husqvarna states that the blades last for 1-2 months for 1000m2 surfaces, so at larger plots Automower blades won't last a week).

[@RT-qz5ci]

I hear what you’re saying and don’t disagree. To be fair, though, the automower cuts so frequently the clippings are tiny and absorbed almost instantly. That’s definitely one of the advantages

[@TheHsan22]

As long as there are people that will purchase a $3000 Automower with minimal features, the manufacturers will make, market and sell them. The market is getting more mature but slowly.

[@captainzeppos]

It may be useful for very specific cases like the ones described above, but generally it is a super overpriced gimmick without the features one would expect in 2022. A used ride on is half the price and does a much better job. In my case there's absolutely no way a robotic lawn mower can handle my 40k sqft of grass around my house, plus my gardener advises strongly against any mower that would leave cut grass on the soil (says that the additional fertiliser will gradually burn what's underneath). Not sure if this is an accurate statement but anyway, the robotic thing is still very overpriced for what it offers, unless you can make some investment out of it.

[@Truthbomb918]

Blades are inexpensive
