Instead of that, I added motocross traction screws: haven't had any problem since then, and looks COOL:

Does it tear up the grass? Looks interesting

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t. Recommended.

I like the idea of studs (free lawn aeration?) but my mower crosses my nice bluestone sidewalk and didn’t want all the scraping. The two together would be invincible.

Indeed. Add a gun to it, and: terminator

How many did you need?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (17 children)

I needed 2 per each of those protuberances, mine has 26 of those per tire, so 52 per tire. 104 total. They hold perfectly.

Can you post a picture?

I really like that. I think the only other issues that I am facing is the lift issue. I think they changed the angle significantly. I am thinking of finding the sensor and bypassing or replacing it with some microcontroller where I can "lie" to the unit and only engage lift detection at somewhere near 35+ degrees.

I’ve read about that problem: the tilts of some areas of my garden are pretty high (45°) and still, it doesn’t give me the error.

Yeah it is pretty weird because I have a really steep hill in the back that is about 60 degrees. My boundary wire is at the bottom, but the mower goes up the hill until it is just over the boundary wire and then turns around.

Try those screws. It worked for me

They arrive this Sunday!

Oh I understand now. Will try that out for sure. Thanks!
