My autonomous lawn mower thread/blog

Pique,thanks for your reply,that certainly answers my question,

Can anyone give me the physical outside demensions of the Hosqvarna 305 docking station,it,s not in the manual,the only dimensions is for the automower itsef.

I haven't purchased the 305 yet that's why I don't know the demensions.

I have mine in a dog kennel

have a husqvarna 430 mower for about 3 years and have had my first small problem, one of the front castor wheels some how fell off i found it in the lawn one day. Anyone any experience of putting them back in, is a easy job or would i need to bring it to a dealer to fix

By reading back over this forum

Half acre is just over 2000 Sq Metres, so the Husqvarna 430X would be the dearer model to cover your land area. You have to factor in slopes and guide wires as well. If you have the chance pop down to a local dealer and bleed them for info, if they are any good you will probably deal with them s well. I bought Husqvarna 450X myself, as needed that model at the time, very few others on the market at the time that ticked the boxes and have to say even though they are more expensive they are reliable, gave me little trouble and what trouble they did gave was covered by warranty with no quibbles.

Easy enough, no need to replace the axle I assume, which would be major job. Spares parts available online, and the likes of GPL will supply

Have purchased a Husqvarna 430X and just wondering what's the most precise distance to locate the boundary wire from the kerb where I have the kerbing as shown that minimizes the area uncut area coupled with getting as close to the edge without the auto-mower wheels tipping over the edge. And do I measure from the inside or outside of the top of the kerb.

Thanks.

Thanks for that . Yes I got the guide embedded in the lid of the box. There's actually two of them, one for imperial and the other metric. Marks at 10cm, 30cm & 35cm. Just wondering what's the most precise distance for my scenario above. Plan on burying the wire so would like to get it right first time.

Hi,

I have recently bought organic fertilizers from an online store. Can anyone tell me the best tool to spread fertilizers?

Any black Friday deals going on mowers?

Didn’t see anything

anyone got any idea what uptake on robot lawnmowers is like? Seems a no brainer for an awful lot of lawns. But not that popular?

Always finish up in late Nov/early Dec and not back out then until early March.

Last cut this year was on Dec 3.

Best I've seen is the Gardena Sileno 1000m @799e.

The McCulloch Rob 1000 used to be really cheap at like 700 - 750e from NorthxSouth but its out of stock and they have a price nearly at 1100e at this point on the website.

You'd be hardpushed to find much better. I've been keeping an eye on some websites and it looks like no one has stock. Maybe the shortage on chips is impacting robomowers as well.

Those were the very 2 I was looking at. CoopSuperstores are out of stock. I rang them to find out what stores had one and was told they have none till sometime in the new year.
