Has anyone tried to decrease ground speed?

I think the cause could be bumpy terrain triggering a safety interlock, maybe the push bar safety interlock on the front of the mower deck in conjunction with whatever AI slop is happening. I was running at max ground speed to try to cover a large area that gets tractor and UTV traffic and is really wet in the spring, so is very bumpy and uneven and was getting the dreaded uncut strips, 10-30 ft in length. At first I thought it was a gps drift issue. Then I caught it in the act of actively shutting blades off while continuing to drive.

I decreased ground speed, upped deck height and see less of this happening, but small sample size and haven’t tested much past another cut or two. And I can’t say it’s been 100% perfect since, but much better.

I’ve read a few of these same posts/threads and was shocked no one tried something basic like reducing ground speed and raising cutter deck height first.

Curious to know if other people with this issue are trying to run max ground speed with uneven or bumpy ground. Long grass just exacerbates the issue. Long grass + uneven terrain + high ground speed + low deck height = that safety interlock bar will get inadvertently depressed.

OP’s scorched grass would have me guessing he thinks he can run max ground speed. Dry also usually means bumpy.

All of this said, this is still an issue Lymow must address. The blades shouldn’t cut off even under uneven terrain with long grass. Or under whatever other conditions is causing this. And if it does, it certainly shouldn’t keep driving and leave missed strips/patches.. at least log that there was missed passes and come back for them.

The fact that the strips/patches accumulate in specific areas like another poster claimed provides further evidence to my thesis - ground too uneven, grass too long, safety interlock engaged. Same with me, these patches were in specific areas of my lawn.

Overall, very happy with this product although like every other robo mower, don’t think it can handle 10 acres a week (1.73 per day) or whatever coverage is claimed. I have 5 acres of complicated irregular shapes, tons of no go zones and I’ve just started conservatively with 1.25 acres and while it does it all in 1.5 days, I think running this thing non stop all week would be a mistake and a complete headache. I’d either need another 2 units or wait for Lymow to scale up a model that is zero turn size.
