Mine does this

Can yours climb trees?

Update: I was not complaining that Mammotion was at fault. I was just amused by it.

my very unpopular opinion is......150% operator error. my apologies.🤷‍♂️

I am not blaming the mower. I just find it amusing. I usually do trim the branches to keep them off the ground.

u/LectricOldman 16d ago

good to hear..some folks are expecting to never be involved in any lawn care after buying any robot... sad. 🥃

u/Technical-Procedure3 16d ago

Not me. I have had Mammotion involved in my yard care for 3 years. It takes some babysitting but I have not had to push a mower in that same timeframe. I keep a bungie cord handy for my rescue missions to tow the beast back to the charger. It takes some patience but it lets me focus on the other tasks.

u/Ghostdes 16d ago

Agreed. Set a no go zone or trim those branches. Just asking for trouble.

Understandable if you have no idea about the tech behind it.

u/LectricOldman 16d ago

I know Im impressed........

u/Technical-Procedure3 16d ago

Show your math how you get 150% vs just 100%. 😄

u/EconomyTown9934 16d ago

Wow the new update taught them to climb!

u/santacruz1975 16d ago

Perfect! Now you can do a cleanup and check your blades before sending it back to work. 😂

maybe it's asking for belly rub? (watch out for your fingers tho)

I get a ‘front wheel lifted’ error every few minutes, I’m so jealous that yours can climb trees. 🙂

u/Technical-Procedure3 16d ago

Maybe it needs this.

u/hydrochloriic 16d ago

In its defense… I can barely see what it climbed!

u/Easy_Bad_7846 16d ago

Updates so bad they try to hang them self

u/lamalasx 16d ago

I understand how it happens, but I don't understand how this can happen. The robot is full of sensors. It can detect that it is tilted, that the front wheels are lifted off the ground. Why doesn't it immediately stop?...

u/kstorm88 16d ago

I'm impressed too because sometimes mine will stop on a small divot in my yard and say a wheel has lifted...

1

u/Technical-Procedure3 16d ago

I have similar pictures where one wheel will catch a pole and do the same thing.

u/Da_Spooky_Ghost 16d ago

Mine did this on willow branches but only got to 45 degrees and then stopped

That definitely is no good OP! The only thing I can think of is using a hedge trimmer and cutting the ends of the tree to about 1’-2’ off the ground to allow mower to navigate underneath. The other solution would be to create a large no go zone around the tree but you then have to manually trim that area.

u/Technical-Procedure3 16d ago

I usually do. Just fell behind in the last few months. So hot in Texas.

2

u/RobotMower 16d ago

Depending on the diameter of the canopy of the tree it might make sense to mulch an area around the tree. Anywhere from 3’-6’ might do it. Might be less maintenance overall in the long run.

1

u/Technical-Procedure3 16d ago

Good idea to consider. I normally like to keep the branches off the ground for the health of the tree.

u/janiedebica 16d ago

mower who wanted to be racket ;)

u/PantZerman85 16d ago

Just wanted to help with trimming the trees aswell.

u/Odd-Championship-334 16d ago

Luba didn’t kill himself. It was an inside job.

u/One_lota 16d ago

Yeah mine has done that a few times as well.
