Welcome to The Rock.

haha for sure mate! I love that movie, one of my favourites too!

You should throw in a "Losers always whine about their best..." in a future video. 😂

@@OfficialJohnnyNelson Definitely!! My wife's favourite quote from the movie! 😂😂

Hey Jim, thanks, glad you found the video helpful. I am actually very impressed with the Luba and on the Swedish lawn forums there are several threads where people are also very happy with it, it seems to be up there along side Husqvarna as the top model when it comes to robomowers without wires. From what I hear the Luba 2 is really good! (haven´t tried it myself)

Hey Kristian, thanks for the input, never really considered that since the app said the position of the base station was fine, but it seems like this could be the issue, sounds reasonable. I think I´ll try to move it this season and see if it works better, appreciate the feedback! Btw, this counts as a mower video right???? 😅😉

That's pretty much what I was going to say. If it cuts so great everywhere else and that one area isn't so great, it has to be reception and what kind of line of sight the device has with satellites and the RTK unit. I'm assuming if the satellites are to the south, the RTK unit would be best utilized on the north side of the building to help cover locations with fewer satellites connections. This is one reason geofencing for dog collars isn't such a great idea.

Hey Mate, for sure, I have those days too. I liked it especially after fertilization, fertilizer on rye grass = crazy growth, can´t keep up with the mowing myself, enter Luba :)

@@SamsLawn Zoysia is a great cure for that. I can throw down fertilizer and not mow for 2-3 weeks and my grass never gets over 5 to 6 inches tops. It grows kind of slow, and doesn't have a very tall max height. The stolons and rhizomes spread and spread, and the blade growth with the horizontal roots is just so thick it blocks out most weeds. It's not quite a dark green as Rye, but it's worth it. My two favorite compliments were some 9 year old twins playing in the front yard with my daughter when she was 10 and they just commented how much they loved playing in my yard because it was so soft to fall on and roll on, and this very pretty lady that used to walk her dogs past my house was walking along looking at her phone one day and all the sudden she turned and quickly snapped a photo of my lawn. She didn't realize I work from home full time and my lawn is my full time view from my office...which is why I planted it to start with. Another great thing about Zoysia (and likely other warm season grasses) is there's less moisture in the blades of grass so it doesn't stick to the mower deck. Not at all.

Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for dropping by, appreciate it 🙏

Thanks mate, appreciate it 🙏

Hey Matthew! haha for sure this one would end up in the luxury category 😅 Thanks for dropping by mate, always appreciate your support!

Hey mate, hopefully I don't have to deal with the cables anymore 😅 I really like the Luba, it works better than I anticipated, would love to try the Luba 2!

Hey dude! Thanks, appreciate it 🙏 I know right?! I was 100% sure it would fail at some point 😅 But 4 months of mowing and it made it every single time 🥳 I am a bit worried, though, if the neighbors expect me to keep mowing their lawn this year too 😂🤦🏽‍♂️

@@SamsLawn 4 months and no issues thats seriously impressive haha! They can buy you beer lol

Hey Robert, thanks mate! It´s just as quiet as my last one, I haven´t seen any robo mowers in general that make a lot of noise, I had it scheduled to run at night, well, late evening more like it. But you can run it whenever you want, no one will hear or notice it.

Hey Richard, thanks for the input, since I might try moving it this season and see if it works better, thanks mate

Haha I wish my lawn looked like this right now! But I used the Luba from July to October last year and recorded it then, I wanted a longer trial to really test it properly.

Hey mate, awesome, I will definitely try that out. I also got feedback from several that the RTK station might be blocked so I´ll try to move it a bit higher too and see if that makes any difference. Thanks for dropping by mate, appreciate it 🙏

Tjena Emil, precis, det måste man absolut tänka på, det går att ställa in andra mönster också just för den anledningen. Bra fångat, glömde ta upp det i videon 👌🏼👍🏼

haha then you know! I honestly thought I would explode last time it happened with the "unbreakable" wire 😂

Hey mate, when the grass dries up, most of it falls off, so I haven't really experienced any issues with it.

Tjena, förstår absolut att du är kluven, hade jag också varit. Tar man Husqvarna så vet du ju absolut vad du köper och det är ett märke man kan lita på. Tror någonstans att både de här är i toppsegmentet vad gäller robotar och då är det småsaker och smaksak som gör skillnaden. Jag har aldrig testat en Husqvarna så jag kan tyvärr inte säga något om dem, men jag tycker Luban är grym, har man möjlighet att ha stationen helt mot öppen himmel så tror jag inte ens man kommer ha några problem med GPS trackingen som jag hade vid några tillfällen. Dock ska man också ha i åtanke att den enda jämförelsen jag kan göra är mot min Gardena R50li som jag köpte för 7 år sen, ALLA robotar är ju nästan ett steg upp mot den, då den var äldre och hade inte så många finesser. Kanske ett för diplomatiskt och tråkigt svar men jag kan bara säga att jag är jättenöjd med min Luba :)

Couldn´t agree more mate! It´s sooo frustrating! I am trying out a few more mowers soon but so far I am loving the Luba, I use it more than I thought I would. The Luba 2 seems really awesome though, I think RTK alone might be too vulnerable for navigation, but an integrated camera with it should take away issues with "dead zones". I really hope Luba reaches out so I can try the Luba 2 as well :)

For sure dude!! Spot on!! 💪🥳

@@SamsLawn Tack. Förövrigt ett bra avsnitt dock så gillar jag inte robotklippare men det är en smaksak.

Hey Mate, for sure, that is a concern, but then again, there are no weed free lawns and Poa you will get no matter what you do, so I have made peace with that 😅🤷‍♂️

Well, I can imagine that´s a disaster, might be worth putting something in front to stop it from going into the flowers, just in case.

@@SamsLawn No apparently my unit has a defective chipset on the motherboard and they are not wanting to be fair with the repair.

@@SamsLawn Maybe they could treat me fair and repair my unit which they have admitted is faulty.

@@garryverniest5893 That´s actually very bad customer support, I hope they replace it, should fall under warranty you would think.

Hey mate, It depends on the type of mowing you chose. If you chose fine cutting with double passes, then I can do almost all my 190 m2, almost. I would say about 160m2 before it has to go back to charge. If you do simple cutting with only one pass then it does my lawn and my neighbours, so about 500 m2 with no pausing and also has battery to spare. So it does a big difference which cutting mode you chose. If you have a larger lawn then the models with bigger batteries would be better I think.

​@@SamsLawn thank you for your answer. I think I need to look up for 3000 model, because my lawn is about ~1000 sq

@@gedzju The Luba 1000 should cover up to 1000 m2 so it should be enough. But to be safe I would actually go with the 3000 model to be honest, it has a bigger battery pack.

Hey mate, I never experienced any issues with that, have plenty of leaves during fall and I always have twigs from pruning the bushes, always some twigs that get left behind on the lawn and I didn't have any issues with that. Albeit they are very small twigs.

@@SamsLawn Thank you!

For sure mate, but that seems like an awful lot of work. I think wire free is the way to go from now on, it may not be perfect yet, but it is absolutely good enough to say goodbye to wires.

@@SamsLawn I appreciate your response and I agree, it would be a lot of work. I was asking b/c my lawn is mostly surrounded by trees so there isn't a clear view of the sky for the RTK signal. Therefore I think I am stuck and will be forced to go with a wired option, but I'm not sure if putting the wire in (pvc) conduit will prevent the wire from working as intended?

@@eturn23 I think I saw some reviews of the new models with camera and RTK who did pretty well around areas with trees, but of course as you say I think wired would be the safer option. If you do not do a lot of scarifying, core aerating then you don´t need to worry about the wires to be honest. Also, do not put the guide cable in the middle as all the instructions say you need to do, put it right next to one of the perimeter wires and that way you always know where it is, much simpler and works just as good.

@@SamsLawn Maybe I'll give RTK a try and hope for the best. If it doesn't work, I'll have to switch to a wired option. Would really like to avoid needing wires though, for the reason you stated in your video. Thanks Again!

Usually I break the cable when I scarify, core aerate, or when I want to create new areas with the shovel. But no more! Hopefully :)

I don´t think these with just the RTK tech will avoid anything other than stuff it will bump into. The newer ones that use RTK together with a camera might just do that. But it has to be substantial pile though 😅

@@SamsLawn I did speak to them in chat, they said as the camera is low it would be hard to identify the 💩 it’s a shame the camera isn’t positioned like the landroid, as i think that would make the perfect mobot.

Tjena, nu antar jag bara att jag kan skriva på svenska eftersom ditt användarnamn är rattugglan :) Jag var faktiskt orolig för det men ähh, det är bara lite ogräs, man dör inte av det, jag är ganska nitisk på att plocka dem så fort jag får syn på något. Vad gör man inte för en video! 😂

Jag vet, tycker de flesta de här robotarna är orimligt dyra, det bra om de har gps är ändå att man kan dela med en granne, alltid något :)

Haha I bet dude! Those look really fun!!

For sure, that would be awesome! I think we are ways off before something like that comes along though, but I am sure at some point we will get there too :)

I know right!!! 😅😅

Hey Jeanie, I agree, mowing yourself is the best, but for the times when I am on vacation or just not feeling like mowing, it´s great to have a stand in :)

Hey mate, I agree it's expensive, but to be honest, all these robomowers are. When I have compared to other robomowers in my neighborhood I have to say the quality of the Luba is actually very good, but that's just my opinion.
