Size it for the grass you mow and your steepest slope. Yarbo rates the Y40 at up to 6 acres a week and the Y40P at up to 7 acres, on slopes up to 70% (35°), with no boundary wire. For steeper banks, the Mowrator S1 is a remote-control mower you drive from a safe spot.
How steep a slope can they handle?
Yarbo robots mow slopes up to 70% (35°) on their own. Mowrator rates the S1 4WD at 75% (37°) on standard wheels, 85% (40°) with Wide Wheels and 119% (50°) with Grip Tread tires.
Do I need to bury a boundary wire?
No. Yarbo maps your property with RTK and stereo vision, so there is no wire to dig in. The Mowrator S1 is driven with a handheld remote and does not use a wire either.

Solar skimmers from Betta and the Aiper EcoSurfer M2 clean the surface instead.
Does a pool robot replace my filter and chemicals?

How strong is the leaf blower?

Is the Mowrator S1 a robot mower?
No. The S1 is a remote-control mower: you drive it with a handheld remote from a safe spot. It is built for slopes and rough ground that robot mowers cannot handle.
Which S1 edition should I choose?
Pick by slope. Mowrator rates the S1 4WD at 75% (37°) on standard wheels, 85% (40°) with Wide Wheels and 119% (50°) with Grip Tread tires.
Does the warranty cover commercial use?
Mowrator's standard warranty (2 years or 2,000 hours) is for personal, home use. Commercial, agricultural, institutional or other income-generating use falls under a separate Mowrator contract, so call us before you order for that kind of work.
