Selecting Your
Automower®
Lawn Size & Slope Guide
Choosing the perfect Husqvarna Automower® for your garden
When selecting a Husqvarna Automower, it's crucial to consider your lawn's size, topography, and the specific challenges it presents. Each model of Husqvarna Automower is optimised for different types of lawns, from small, flat gardens to large, complex landscapes with steep slopes. Here's a guide to help you find the ideal Automower for your needs.
Assess Your Lawn Size and Shape
Small and Flat Lawns: For compact and level lawns, the 105 model may be your perfect match, designed for simplicity and efficiency.
Moderately Sized Lawns with Minimal Slopes: The 300-series models are tailored for medium-sized areas, offering versatility and capability to navigate gentle slopes.
Large Lawns with Steep Inclines: If your garden spans a vast area with sharp inclines, consider a 400-series model, equipped to handle slopes up to 45%.
Evaluate Lawn Complexity
Slopes and Inclines: Ensure the model you choose can navigate the steepest parts of your garden. While 400-series models conquer inclines of up to 45%, the 300-series can manage 40%, and the 105 is suitable for 25% inclines.
Obstacles and Layouts: Gardens with odd shapes, narrow passages, or multiple obstacles require an Automower that can handle complexity. For these lawns, the 300 and 400-series models are more adept than the 105.
Consider Additional Features
Security Features: Depending on your needs, you might want a mower equipped with a pin code lock, alarm, or GPS tracker for added security and peace of mind. Operating Conditions: If you prefer your mower to operate at night or in low-light conditions, models like the 430X with LED headlights might be essential for visibility.
Configuration and Safety
User Interface: Some Automowers feature an intuitive display and advanced settings, including timer settings and cutting lengths, which you'll need to configure. Choose a model that aligns with your comfort level regarding technology and adjustments.
Safety Precautions: Always ensure the mowing area is free from small objects, debris, and toys, and keep children and pets away from the operating mower. For extra safety, consider a model with a cutting disc featuring retractable blades.
By taking into account your lawn's specific characteristics and your personal preferences for operation and safety, you can select the Husqvarna Automower that best fits your garden's needs. Remember, the right Automower not only simplifies lawn care but also ensures your garden looks its best with minimal effort on your part.
