Yarbo Lawn Mower Pro | The Most Insane Robot Mower I’ve Tested

The Yarbo Lawn Mower Pro is a heavy-duty tracked robot mower aimed at large properties rather than typical suburban lawns. It combines a modular platform with a 500 mm cutting width, adjustable cutting height, RTK-assisted navigation, cameras, towing capability and remote-control features. Testing found it particularly well suited to open, sloped and rough areas, although its size, setup requirements, price and need for edge trimming make it excessive for many smaller homes.

The short version

Key points

The mower uses tracked drive, dual 300 W mowing motors and up to 2,500 W of peak mowing power.
Its 500 mm cutting width and 20–100 mm adjustable cutting height are intended for larger lawns and dense warm-season grass.
Navigation combines GNSS, RTK correction, cameras, ultrasonic sensors, a bumper sensor and app-based mapping.
The core weighs about 60 kg, while the mower configuration weighs around 90 kg.
Yarbo states a weekly coverage figure of about six acres, with approximately 120 minutes of operation per charge and around 90 minutes to recharge from 20% to 80%.“,”The Lawn Mower Pro package was listed on Yarbo Australia at $10,899 on sale, reduced from $11,999, at the time of the video.

A robot mower built as a yard platform

The Yarbo Lawn Mower Pro is designed as more than a standalone mower. Its powered core can accept different attachments, with the tested setup including the mower module, Smart Assist module and tow hitch. The system also includes app control, zone management, automatic recharging, remote viewing and patrol-related features.

This approach places the machine closer to a robotic groundskeeping platform than a compact mower intended for a small backyard. Its tracked drive and substantial weight are intended to provide traction and stability across slopes, rough ground and larger open areas.

Mowing and navigation hardware

The mower module has dual 300 W mowing motors, up to 2,500 W of peak mowing power, a 500 mm cutting width and adjustable cutting height from 20 mm to 100 mm. The video discusses its suitability for dense warm-season grasses such as buffalo, couch and kikuyu, while noting that blade choice matters for tougher or wetter grass.

Yarbo states that the mower can handle slopes up to 70% grade, or approximately 35 degrees, and clear vertical obstacles of about 25 mm. The system uses GNSS satellites together with RTK correction data. Correction can come from a local Yarbo data centre or, in supported areas, from cloud or public correction services over Wi-Fi or the built-in 4G connection.

The data centre requires an open view of the sky and a wired network connection when used as the local correction source. The mower also combines cameras, ultrasonic sensors and a bumper sensor to detect obstacles, slow down, avoid them and rejoin its planned mowing path.

Capacity, towing and additional features

Yarbo states a coverage figure of about six acres per week, based on multiple mowing cycles. The video reports around 120 minutes of operation per charge and approximately 90 minutes for wireless charging from 20% to 80%. Zone scheduling allows different areas to be assigned to particular days and times.

The tow hitch gives the platform another use around a property. Yarbo’s stated everyday towing capacity is approximately 227 kg. In testing, the machine pulled a loaded trailer and was able to reverse, turn and manoeuvre on a sloped driveway.

The Smart Assist module adds follow-me, patrol mode, waypoint navigation, remote live viewing and two-way audio. The follow-me function still requires care around bushes, sprinklers and garden ornaments, which the mower may not avoid in every situation.

Where the design works best

The machine’s size is an important consideration. The core weighs about 60 kg, while the mower configuration weighs around 90 kg, making manual handling difficult. Its tracks, weight and turning requirements also need sufficient space to operate effectively.

Testing in tighter suburban areas exposed the practical limitations of a large tracked machine. Narrow gaps, fences, garden beds, overhanging trees and other confined features can reduce manoeuvrability. Edge trimming may still be required because the mower cannot reach every boundary.

The design makes more sense on large acreage properties, business sites or other open areas with slopes, rough ground, mud, sand and generous turning space.

Price and intended buyer

At the time of the video, the Yarbo Australia website listed the Lawn Mower Pro package at $10,899 on sale, down from $11,999. That places it well beyond the cost of a typical residential robot mower.

The system may be difficult to justify for a small, simple lawn because of its price, weight, setup and hardware. For large properties or commercial applications, the modular platform and additional towing and patrol functions may be more relevant. The video also notes that owners need to consider whether the machine provides a meaningful return on investment rather than simply saving mowing time.

TechManPat’s conclusion

I see the Yarbo Lawn Mower Pro as industrial equipment in robot-mower form, rather than a sensible choice for an ordinary suburban lawn. I think its power, tracks and modular attachments make much more sense for large acreage, commercial sites or golf-course-style applications, while its price, weight, setup and remaining edge work will rule it out for many homeowners.
