Plenty of blade clearance between the housing and blades. Maybe 5 mowing cycles since last cleaning.

Blade Motors cut out for 30 seconds while the mower keeps traveling. These stripes are 150 feet long.

Todays settings: 2.8" cut, 2fps, Power Blade Speed, extremely dry grass cut yesterday.

SO, TODAYS MOW IS EXTREMELY EASY, and yet the motors are cutting out. This is happening with my newer Plus (Yellow Two).

What's the point in mowing, if it's leaving a 50 foot path uncut every other path? And What Happens Peak Summer when my grass is thick and growing like crazy ???

LYMOW, YOU have to get this fixed now!

Daily operation is proving difficult. Even with my docks inside my garage on a clean flat floor, charging is proving challenging.

Every third docking with either mower onto either dock is requiring some intervention to either start charging and/or to keep charging.

STILL no word on my extra batteries, which for my situation, would simplify daily operations.

I Am Not going to leave $6,000. USD sitting outside at night no matter how very safe it is here.

My other (older Red One) Plus is doing this as well, but so far requires thicker grass, before cutting out like this one does.

I tried Remote Mowing yesterday with Red One. IT was heavier, thicker conditions, and the blades were shutting off so often, I Gave Up On the Remote Mowing!

Isn't Remote Mowing supposed to be a feature?

I could have done the same area 4X's faster with a cordless self-propelled push mower.

So, I have 2 very new Pluses that are Not Performing how they should. And on top of that, mine have lousy Mowing Logic and Path And Zone Management; along with extremely slow commutes to/from the zones and/or the charging docks.

BTW, the decks are pretty clean. Grass/juice buildup is not the problem here, Or extreme conditions.

BEFORE, these last 3 updates, I never had weak rtk readings.

Now, I see .002 and .003 frequently instead of the the prior usual .001. My rtk has not moved.

I am also observing that Red One's blade motors are louder and not as nice sounding as the other mower. Also the deck on Red One is getting loud banging noises over bumps and a lot more deck bouncing than the other, in identical conditions.

These issues appear to be building...

This is all so very annoying...

And so, soo disappointing

UPDATE: After recharging both mowers, I sent them out to finish the zone.

I filmed 15 minutes of truly the most bizarre and random path execution and zone management that I have seen yet.

It's almost like something broke their internal logic, both of them.

After finishing, I performed this evenings update on both, no apparent additional issues.

Product improves ease of cleaning with each use. Last 2 nights: Quick garden Hose Spraying, almost no brushing, and quick wiping any remaining buildup with a coarse dry cloth. Spray coat deck with product in pic on Amazon

10 minutes all in, start to finish.

Before pic: Only 3 hours mowing today, each mower.

After pic, after hosing 2 minutes each, before wiping.

Red One is having trouble with the rain runoff channels hidden in the grass. I will mark these out before the next mowing, and most likely backfill with gravel soon.

But he is getting it mostly done.

Yellow Two is mowing about 30 feet above where he drove off the edge and fell earlier today.

I think these slopes are only about 30 degrees, but the mowers have a lot of trouble on the 180s, no matter the stripe angle.

Granted the turf is uneven and Not smooth. BUT, the drive algorithms need serious work improving 180s, slipping, sliding, and getting unstuck.

Spinning one track for 15 seconds before trying something else is lame.

My tractor mower is still in the shop, so I could not pre mow these areas down to 4".

I had several error messages and had been clearing them remotely, before this happened. Only superficial scuffing for damage.

Turned it around and drove it down the hill, across the park, and back up my steep access lane. And on up to the house to recharge.

LESSON: If you clear errors under trees, drive it back to open sky every 8 minutes or so, before Tapping Resume; so as to re acquire a strong rtk signal.

I will do this next time I get errors under trees.

My older Plus would not charge today, either dock. Not a dock charge issue, as my new Plus will charge on either dock.

After trying my usual fixes, I found the solution:

Press and hold the Plus button until deck begins to raise. IT rose up tight against the dock charging pads and began to charge!

Anyone with a Plus and charging issues, should try this. Contacts were clean before beginning. Still charging now.

UPDATE: 2nd charging cycle today, this time the mower in question auto adjusted deck height after being driven onto the dock. Both charging normally.

UPDATE # 2: Same problem this morning, when I went out to repower to finish charging for today's mowing

Pressing the Plus to activate deck lift, solved it. Charging again.

Lowered to 2.4inch cut to help the summer grasses to get started. However, the bumper is getting triggered by larger bumps, and the transition to the driveway from the far sideyard.

Other than that, they appear to be off to a good start today.

I sure wish Lymow would fix that mid zone path jump seen at 49 seconds into the video.

New Plus in the near zone, older Plus in the far zone. It's having trouble with the uneven ground and extra thick turf.

I plan on mapping this next. Mowing this with my tractor is very tiring.

Note the steep lane down from left of my house. The mower commute down to this park is about 300 feet, and a drop in elevation of 60 or 70 feet from the dock.

I was impressed with the results Doc is getting on his backyard. So, I am using different mowing settings than I have typically:

3" cut, standard blade speed, 2.3fps, 9.8" path overlap.

It's hard to see with all the white clover flower tops; but its cutting very nice on only standard blade speed.

UPDATE: After this post, I increased blade speed to Power, nicer cut!

2 recent rains, so the grass is turning green again.
