✅ Start to Finish Autonomous Snowblower vs Colorado Snow Storm - Yarbo S1 Yard Robot Timelapse

Ready to dive into an epic snow battle with us in Colorado armed only with the Yarbo Snow Blower? In this video, you'll see me test the Yarbo with the S1 snow blower attachment against the fierce Colorado winter. We'll go through its features, performance, and see how Yarbo tackles a snowstorm that left a thick snow blanket overnight, effortlessly gliding through heavy snow to make driveways clean.
With the modular design, Yarbo takes care all yard work for you, by switching the module, you can have a snow blower, a lawn mower and a leaf blower with one main body. Its a yard robot that use high precision GPS with RTK-LoRa for centimeter accurate driving. Check out the affiliate link below to gear up for your own winter battles with the Yarbo Snow Blower. This is one of a series of videos so checkout the playlist below for more Yarbo videos! Yarbo paid for my travel to get to CO for this filming.

[@fobbitoperator3620]

This device is great & all, but as a kid I used to shovel snow for $$, all around my neighborhood. This gave me a considerably strong body at a young age, which is why I went on to have such a successful wrestling career in Jr HS/HS. People today who have all of these trinkets & creature comforts, will be fat, weak & completely incapable of doing anything for themselves when all of the power goes out. Trust me when I say this, the power WILL be going out before November 5th. Be ready. & Be strong!

[@gamereactz]

Not really, people are much healthier than before and much less obesity. The days of walking over to your neighbor for anything is long gone, you're more likely to get shot through a door.

[@oboewankenobo8675]

So what happens when it’s out working and it’s still snowing and the charging station gets covered with snow and it needs to recharge? How does it get any juice when the charger is all blocked up? Just asking.

[@NaterTater]

@@oboewankenobo8675 it clears the charging station off prior to docking.

[@nathansmith7153]

Doesn't throw far enough

[@DJPetrou]

How about the ability to tune the area to be cleared? Adjusting the right side of the drive (looking at the house) and having it get tight to the garage door.

[@NaterTater]

yes, that is fully programable when you set up the boundaries. We intentionally did not get close to the garage doors on this video because there was a 6in thick ice mound from snow melt from the little decorative roof above the garage.

[@smiletoday66]

Can it operate the snowblower on grass surfaces, or is it only suitable for blacktop?

[@NaterTater]

you can adjust the height so it raises up some for grass/gravel but it works best on a paved surface

[@Tattman111]

Ya call that a snowstorm? Here in Newfoundland we call that Monday, we just had a snowstorm and it dropped 36 inches of snow, that little thing wouldn't stand a chance!

[@NaterTater]

Per a generic google search Newfoundland averages 9.8ft of snowfall/yr. In Silverthorne, CO at 9000ft elevation where this was filmed it averages 13.1ft/yr. Not that different! 😏

[@cryptickcryptick2241]

Very interesting. I spent a few years shoveling snow before I moved to warmer climates where this is not an issue. Part of me is impressed, part of me is concerned. Snowblowers are sort of dangerous. Pets, pet chains, leases, snowplows shovels, bown debris, and more could cause an issue for the snowblower. Shoveling snow can be dangerous too; slips falls, broken bones, hurt backs so these could be real benefits. The little vaccums cleans roombas have been very popular, in a few years maybe a bunch of people will have these. These could be real beneficial for larger snow removal companies that need parking lots cleared. If something like his were outfitted with gas power, or multiple changable battery packs, -so it can keep on working- it could clear a large locations like a shopping center or school continuously saving a lot of money on manual plowing. Putting in Electric heat and heating the driveway is expensive on the power bill, but cheap compared to the cost of hiring it done each time.

How does this deal with freezing or subfreezing temps for charging? What kind of battery pack is in it?

[@NaterTater]

It's designed to work in the cold and special treatment is done to keep the battery happy when its subzero. More info on the battery can be found on their website.

[@colleenshannon8658]

You Did, An Excellent Determinating, Looking Out For Nate, All, The Wat Around, My Friendly Nate Tater Family. Its, A Great Thankyou.😊

[@Opalmizer]

The problem with snow blowers is (usually) after the snow is blown there remains a little layer of ice that is more slippery to walk on than the snow was.

[@NaterTater]

That depends on the blower and if you have shoes on it or let the blade contact the ground. Either way a little sun easily melts any thin layer.

[@lylejenish23]

Great idea and innovation but USD $7,499.00 ... prefer the exercise.

[@HowRay]

Living The Life -- You've got it going on.!! What are the practical limits.?? Time on task.? Time to recharge,? Snow depth.? Will it track it's position close enough to always have sufficient power to get "home" to recharge.? I would NOT want to have to push that thing back to its recharge station.!!!

[@NaterTater]

It can run for well over an hour on a charge and can eat a foot of dry snow in one go but its best to tackle the snow every 3 or so inches for the best performance (which is actually easy to do when its autonomous!). It automatically returns to the charger before it runs out of battery. And if it was in the middle of a job, it will go back out and finish once the battery gets back charged.

[@davehenderson6896]

You can do this, or move to Florida.

[@NaterTater]

😂 haha, yes no snow there but Yarbo can also cut grass and do other yard chores!

[@EvrttGrn]

@@NaterTater, That's pretty cool. How does it handle object avoidance in yard that may change positions in between mowings?

@@EvrttGrn it has multiple sensors to detect objects and even AI for the cameras to detect things like people and pets. It will go around (stationary object) or wait (person/pet walking).

Sounds like Colorado powder is no problem. Have you tried it in the Sierras? Our last storm here on the West Shore of Tahoe brought us 7' of heavy snow in 3 days. It would be a good test.

[@NaterTater]

I haven't but the Yarbo team has been out to lake tahoe many times for testing and has customers there.

[@dickwhite3497]

We just got another foot of Sierra Cement last night. Love to see how it would do here on the West Shore of Tahoe. We get on average 400"'/year. If you ever want to do a test let me know. @@NaterTater

[@ianbrooks9686]

Spending hours plowing the driveway isn't exactly good time management. We already have effective technology for that task , shovel or radiant heat, pick one.

[@NaterTater]

that's the beauty of this, YOU don't spend time shoveling or plowing. The robot does!

[@jimhohl9003]

Lolz...show some real depth....

[@2006Whippet]

The point is that this is automatic. You can have it running from when the snow starts until it ends. That means it will never have to deal with "real depth" since you're not going to wait for the storm to end.

For $7,500 you can buy a decent gas powered blower that will clear much deeper snow throw it much further and dosent need charging . ev cars in winter lol not even a smart idea if you think your going far on a charge better plan a very long time schedule . your ev car in the winter half the charge is used just for heaters defrosters lights alone so you dont go far .

Pro tip, why bother clearing the driveway? I bought a 4wd truck so I don’t have to shovel, just drive out. If it is so bad I can’t get the truck out, everything is shut down anyway. I would have spent the money on a nice vacation to a beach destination instead😂

[@rustneversleeps01]

@kevindowell6003 how much did you spend on truck ? Is it diesel? How long is your driveway ?

[@kevindowell6003]

@@rustneversleeps01 My driveway is two cars wide, 60 feet long. It is about a mile of road that isn’t plowed/serviced by the city to get to a street that is. Spent 18 K on the truck 2015 Tacoma (purchased 2016) It serves multiple functions, commuting, hauling for property clean up and materials for property improvement and gets me up into the mountains for outdoor recreation. 4WD allows me to get away from the crowds, the Subaru drivers and their yippy dogs.

[@wyo_garage20]

@@kevindowell6003 Pro tip. I also have big 4th trucks that laugh at snow, and clear my driveway and sidewalk religiously. Letting snow sit all winter is a fools game, it warms and almost melts and refreeze, or sits and get snowed on again, if you haven’t already you WILL fall. Nope. Plus it’s relaxing to go out with a snowblower and clear, it’s like men’s zen. That’s why we have power tools. You let your grass grow uncut too?

[@kevindowell6003]

@@wyo_garage20 Foremost my post was intended to be tongue in cheek and not taken too seriously. Sometimes humor is lost in text. And there are other factors that come into play that may not be present for everyone. I get enough snow, but not as much as others deeper in the mountains. Also My driveway faces east and has clear exposure on the south side so it gets a good dose of sun. From the middle it slopes to either side and slopes away from the garage to the street, so excellent drainage and clearing. I don’t have snow on my driveway all winter. I never have to walk on the driveway, I access my garage from the house. The driveway connects to a road that doesn’t have a sidewalk. I would be at greater risk falling shoveling or using a snowblower, walking on the snow, than never walking on the driveway. I shovel my front walk to the sidewalk and the sidewalk because people walk on it and don’t want anyone to fall. I would rather shovel, now that is a man’s Zen physical activity instead of reliance on a machine, that would cheat myself of the activity and time out in the weather that is enjoyable. Even though I have a chainsaw, I prefer to use an axe and saw to manage the trees on my property. I have it dialed in pretty good with the variety of grasses and clover in my yard, my water and nutrient schedule so that the grass is green but only needs to be mowed every other week. When I mow, (I think my lawn is about .7 acre haven’t ever officially measured it) I use a push reel mower. For the same reason I shovel, I enjoy the activity. There is no need or benefit to clearing my driveway, I can use that time for something else, which often includes a nice walk or a hot cup of coffee enjoying the sunrise, building snowmen, snowball fights with the kids, now grandkids. I enjoy work, but I don’t see the point in unnecessary work. Nor do I see the point of spending money for something that I don’t need. As I age, I imagine I will get to the point a snowblower becomes the best choice, I hope I live long enough a robotic snow blower is desired. But until then I will still poke a little fun just because that is my nature, I will enjoy the manual physical aspect of maintaining my property and enjoy my time that I have because I am thoughtful about what work needs to be done, versus what would just be busy work, enjoy my money by not spending it on things that don’t enhance my life instead spend it on something that does. If the novelty of a robotic blower enhances someone’s life, good for them. If you enjoy the snowblower instead of manually shoveling, good for you. So pro tip, sometimes people are just having a little fun with their posts
