Yarbo Robot snow blower clearing heavy ICE and SNOW!

[@PaulWerner]

Man, looks like you were blowing a lot of snow on your neighbors house 😄

[@TurfCulture]

Nowhere else to go with it 🤷‍♂️

[@PaulWerner]

@TurfCulture Just curious, does it do the same even at the lowest Deflector Angle setting?

[@TurfCulture]

Yes it does, if the houses were further apart it wouldn't be a problem. I have a rear entry garage and my driveway runs between the houses so there isn't an ideal path to direct the snow. With the deflector at the lowest angle it will not hit any windows, just the bricks.

[@pixelpusher220]

@@TurfCulture Def wouldn't be happy as the neighbor. Can you specify which direction the auger throws at certain points? Smaller passes and throwing forward till past the houses would be better

[@TurfCulture]

I keep that in mind should you ever move in next door.

[@akairborne]

I love the idea of an overnight snowfall and the robot clearing that night so that I've got a clean driveway when I wake up

[@TurfCulture]

Yes! Now that I have used the machine a few times I can just allow it to run and not babysit.

[@joewoodchuck3824]

As long as someone doesn't steal it while you're asleep. It's still cool though.

[@keithmartin1071]

sorry if this was mentioned already but you're supposed to take off the metal auger guards. they are there to protect the auger during shipment.

[@Pele-speak]

I have th Yarbo with Mower attachment. I was a big Yarbo hater because it was 3 months late for delivery but now that i have it, i am super happy. Its the best investment for this year if it last at least 3 years. Only time will tell. Taking off the grill will greatly help

[@markpuccio6270]

it's a killing machine without the grate. They should redesign the grate so it is 6" off the ground.

[@TurfCulture]

I'm glad I have an opportunity to test one, it's great!

[@Pele-speak]

@@markpuccio6270 I think you can remove 2 and leave 1. Is that what you mean?

[@markpuccio6270]

@@Pele-speak yes. That would make sense.

[@TheLawngineer]

Great video! Looks like it’s doing a good job throwing the snow around! Can’t believe it works that well with the RTK in the garage.

[@TurfCulture]

This is my 3rd auto mower/snow blower RTK that I've installed in garage and it hasn't let me down yet.

[@OldGuyAdventure]

Wow, the Snowblower attachment and the robot costs $7K Canadian. They won't sell that many in Canada at a price like that. But it cleans much better than our local community operations department.

[@TurfCulture]

Not cheap, but it does work well.

[@spencergates3085]

Awesome review!

[@TurfCulture]

Thank you! It's nice to get an uplifting comment every once in a while.

[@craigschwent8698]

How long did it take to do the entire driveway and sidewalk and how many inches of snow did you have?

[@TurfCulture]

25 minutes and approx 5" of snow and 1" of ice.

[@donchaput8278]

Can you program it to not blow on the neighbors house but rather in front of it until it gets passed the house and the window?

[@robertreynolds930]

you can pick a spot for it to put all the snow, he hasn't found that feature yet i assume.

[@TurfCulture]

Yes you can but there isn't really a good way to get the rover to shoot the debris forward for an extended period of time. I am still trying to figure out the best way to go about this.

[@Riptrack13]

I definitely think taking off that front grille would help it out, and maybe prevent it from getting clogged. Pretty cool!

[@TurfCulture]

I did end up taking off the grille to see if it made a difference and I do think it does help but I think it's there as a safety feature. If you install the plow accessory from Yarbo the grille has to come off anyway.

[@saleen367]

It appears that it could be a replacement for a single stage 1-3" for light powder. If I have to dress up to go out and rescue it, I'd prefer to do it all myself in half the time and be done.

[@akesq01]

Yes, I would hate to feel like I had to watch it all of the time. May as well go out and do it myself and be done with it.

[@TurfCulture]

The first few times it's hard not to go out and watch this thing works because it's pretty amazing. I just let it run autonomously now and keep and eye out for notifications on my phone.

[@vintageguitarsandmore8845]

What is the metal pegboard looking material holding your cordless tools, and how do you like it?

[@TurfCulture]

It's called Wall Control www.wallcontrol.com/

[@hayatok3434]

Is this yarbo work without RTK? Because i wanna work this yarbo with Wi-Fi

[@TurfCulture]

You could, but you would be out in the cold with an XBOX remote.

[@Anonymous..VQ3.5Lg35]

So far ive been lucky with my battery leaf blower for snow removal

[@amir8051]

You should have coated the auger, housing and chute with tire shine. Pretty much never clogs.

[@TurfCulture]

It was the grille in this case, I have sine removed it.

[@markfrye9178]

What determines the direction of the chute?

[@TurfCulture]

The user makes those changes in the app. Problem is I cannot set the auger to point forward long enough to get by the houses without making several individual mapped areas.

[@Anonymous..VQ3.5Lg35]

It needs to track snow it hasn't touched better! Not going the same path it cleared

[@TurfCulture]

That would be nice

[@eaglestrike3759]

So Yarbo reached out and asked if they could send you one to test out. But it's not a sponsored video (paid for ad). LOL OK

[@TurfCulture]

Yep, they sent me a unit but not paying me to read from a script.

[@Tothefloor]

Nice video! I hear many owners complain about the robot not positioning itself correctly on the charge pad so it fails to charge. Does yours do that as well? Maybe they will come out with better stud tracks in the future.

[@TurfCulture]

I have noticed that when docking with the standard rubber treads the Yarbo rover has no issue. With the studded treads it takes the rover a few tries to get positioned correctly but I haven't had a issue with it not charging.

[@bdjm8595]

Looks like a "dog house" with heat for the Yarbo to thaw out in while charging would be the way to go.

[@TurfCulture]

That may cause some issues with the GPS signal at the docking station.

[@andrewyingling6240]

As this is the 1st of your videos I have ever watched, I don't know if this is a permanent characteristic but you appear to have anisocoria. This is when your pupils are different sizes. Have you hit your head recently? It may be worth getting checked out if not a permanent condition. If it is something that you have previously addressed, please ignore my comment.

[@90210sky]

Nice

[@Oliviiiful]

Does it have child or cat eating protection?

[@TurfCulture]

Yes it has obstacle avoidance.

[@stevebbbbi5438]

Lol!!Tell me your a milwaukee FAN BOY! By not telling me😂 dam son !!

[@TurfCulture]

I have some teal colored tools too

[@thesupernad]

Drill some holes in the track and put in some bike tire studs.

[@sureguy8124]

😂 it's spraying the neighbors house

[@JakeGuilbo]

Forget AI, just put a camera and connect it to an Xbox controller to run it from inside

[@TurfCulture]

I've run it from my phone a few times from inside the house to clear the bank at the end of my driveway from the snow plow clearing the street.

[@Pele-speak]

It also comes with 4 cameras and an Xbox controller

[@akesq01]

A robot needs to know its limitations…

[@TurfCulture]

Using your logic then cars and trucks should also know their limitations. This is not the world we live in.

[@ataria5609]

Cant believe how you casually say "it aint perfect" just as it blows snow at neighbors window.

[@mestanmi]

And all over the cars parked on the street lol For only 4 grand too. What a steal.

[@TurfCulture]

Both of our driveways run between the houses, we have an understanding, it is a non issue. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@TurfCulture]

Both cars are mine, and it's a dusting of snow.

[@biffhenderson1144]

The biggest limitation to the robot is obviously the programmer/owner. Step #1 don't install the RTK in the right place. Lol.

[@TurfCulture]

Ok, if the RTK works as it should then it is in the right place.

[@shrimpinpat]

blew snow on his own too lol

[@RobertWiggers]

A wifi extender in a metal box.... Nope. Put it on top of the metal box to get the full signal.

[@TurfCulture]

I thought the same and had the extender on my tool bench at first, putting it in the steel cabinet didn't really affect the signal at all.

[@jebediahkerman3946]

If it works just fine then it is the proper way. Just not the recommended way.

[@TurfCulture]

Agreed! No issues to report.

[@johndenison9404]

Neighbor teenage will snow blow mine for $20.00, goes home eats breakfast to recharge himself. Returns on his own every time it snows. No warranty, no repair, no support desk, no mapping, no problems.

[@sureguy8124]

Not worth the headache

[@SolarizeYourLife]

You giving me a free toy??? No sir i can not accept.....thats bullsled im just joking...give me... Battery stored out in the cold??? No thanks... You might want to adjust blower angle, you are hitting neighbors house!!!

[@TurfCulture]

Battery operating temp is -22*

[@huseman21]

hmm Only $7199.00 with the extra battery and the attachments shown. Hmm or I could pay somebody $143.00 once a year for 50 years to blow the snow off manually. ummm, well No thanks. way over priced.

[@redoakpropertycarellc]

Looks like a waste of money. That driveway wouldn't take longer than 6 minutes to do with a walk behind blower 10 min including berm from snow plow

[@TurfCulture]

I have a 2,500 sqft driveway including the parking pad. 6 minutes is awfully ambitious.

[@MrCdnAudiophile]

Looks like it does a terrible job and get stuck easy, no thanks.

[@TurfCulture]

It does a pretty good job actually, the city's 3- and 6-Ton plow trucks couldn't even make it down the street due to the ice storm.

[@rupetto1959]

Turf said you have to use as you are getting snow not waiting to build up too much inches
