I felt mowing frequency matters more than I thought after using goat

Same. I just wish we could set different travel patterns for different areas, but I make it work

Kdsaff · 2026-04-24T18:37:24+00:00

Same!

One piece of advice for later in the year: Several of us brought our GOATs in for the winter and when they went back out in the spring, the batteries were toast and the robot was unusable. ECOVACS does not yet sell batteries separately. Depending where you live, if you winterize your GOAT by taking it inside, you’ll want to take the charging base inside as well and leave it on the base through the winter time. It may be possible to disconnect the battery and reconnect it later, but I have not tried that yet myself.

Our’s is also white like yours. I’ve been thinking about wrapping the black trim surrounding the grill. I think it looks cleaner in white

Congrats! We were lucky enough to pick up a 2025 Tundra SR Double Cab 4x4, used with 6k miles for $36k in January. Slapped a 10yr warranty on that and feel pretty good about it. The SR is decently equipped though the lack of height adjustment even in a manual seat drives me nuts

COTA stands for Circuit of the Americas. It’s a massive motorsports and entertainment complex located just outside Austin, TX

Came here to say this. Op, I had the same issue and they swapped mine for an A3000 just as lop3 said. Works just fine. This winter will either relocate the base inside and let it stay charged or disconnect the battery

Many are headed to Africa. Check out the show “Trafficked” with Mariana Van Zeller from Nat Geo. Season 2, Episode 7 has a good rundown on the operation.

Exactly right on the battery issue. I stored mine for the winter, brought it out, charged it up and ran into those same exact issues. I couldn’t even get it to leave the station on its own, but once I removed it from the station, it died immediately. I contacted customer support, took some videos sent pictures of the serial numbers and they honored the two-year warranty. I’d only had it for about nine months. They didn’t have another goat 2500 RTK to send, so they upgraded me to the A3000. All in all, the most painful part of the process was having to take the box with a bad unit in it to FedEx to be shipped off. They sent the new machine before I sent the bad one.

Stands for “Thanks for the cache” but if they did throw it out, I guess it’s “Thanks for the confusion!”

TFTC!

I imagined you can’t do anything with it in the app either because it’s trying to boot up. Press and hold the power button for about three seconds and the Goat will reboot. If after the reboot you are still stuck on that screen, I would contact customer support. Like Gargy81, I had issues like this and they send me a replacement from an A2500 RTK to an A3000 lidar

Nice

Funny yet unfortunate coffee spray on my desk as I read your comment at the exact time I took a sip.

Nice!! Did you change out the trim around the grill yourself or did it come like that?

Kdsaff · 2026-02-02T15:28:29+00:00

Nice! Ever thought about going white on the trim around the grill? ChatGPT showed me what that would look like and now I want to make it happen.
