When are people putting their mowers back to work? There's been a lot of growth in the past few weeks so put mine out yesterday, is it soon?

probably putting mine out in the next week or so- already took the top of the lawn with the mower and will repeat that again at the weekend.

Put mine back out yesterday…..due to how soft the lawn is its getting bogged down in a few spots, but working away overall……third season with it so touch wood it keeps going……it has paid for itself already at this stage

Put mine out yesterday too.

Into it's 3rd season now and so far so good.

Only issue I have with it is it struggles to dock sometimes and starts digging up the ground in front of the base station at times which I have to fill in with soil/scraws.

Anyone else have this problem and what have ye done to overcome it ?

I was think of putting down a small section of astro in front of the base station to see if it helps.

Yeah mine does the same, the only thing I've been doing is just lifting it back in to charge each time. I'm planning to lift the docking station and just straighten out the wire running under it as much as possible in the next few weeks. From what I can see, most issues with it are down to the cable at the docking station, I only set it up quickly so didn't play around with it properly yet. 2 years later...

Good to know its not just mine anyway - like that I've been manually docking it but most times it has the ground dug up before I see it.

I'm thinking of lowering the base station slightly into the ground to see if that helps too

I put a piece of chicken wire in front of the dock to help with the mower skidding and not docking. I pegged the chicken wire down with the perimeter cable pegs. It works really well. Also the grass grows up through chicken wire so you dont see it. if the wheels start spinning they grip on to the chicken wire to give traction
