The modern gardening lifestyle offers countless technological aids that can make daily life easier. One of the most popular gadgets for the garden is undoubtedly robot lawn mowers. These smart devices take the mowing out of your hands and ensure that your lawn looks freshly mown and well-kept without much effort on your part. But what do you do when apples and other fruit become a challenge for your automatic helper?
When your robot lawn mower encounters challenges under fruit trees
From spring to late summer, it is not uncommon for fruit trees to lose their load, and apples get scattered across the lawn. This can be a charming part of the garden’s life cycle, but it is far less charming when your robot lawn mower gets hindered in its work. Small branches and fallen leaves are generally well-handled by robot lawn mowers, but fallen apples can be a different story. They can potentially damage the mower's blades and even cause it to get stuck.
How robot lawn mowers handle obstacles
Fallen apples can block movement and even damage the cutting blades. Fortunately, many modern robot lawn mowers are equipped with sensors that can detect these objects and either change direction or stop to avoid damage.
WeShape has the solution that removes apples and other debris completely automatically
To avoid having to collect fallen apples often, you might consider adding extra equipment to your lawn mower friend. At WeShape, you can find a smart solution in the form of a bumper designed for Gardena Sileno life and city robot lawn mowers. This bumper can push larger objects, such as apples, aside so that they don’t end up under the robot. Such a device can therefore be very helpful in keeping your robot lawn mower free of apples and other fruits that can cause clogging or getting stuck.
Prevention and care of your robot lawn mower
In addition to installing a bumper, you can also take other steps to protect your robot lawn mower. Regularly removing fruit and larger branches from the lawn is important for prolonging the lifespan of your robot lawn mower and keeping the blades sharp. Certain spare parts, including cutting blades, are subject to normal wear and tear and are therefore not covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
Conclusion
After all, your robot lawn mower is a reliable friend in the garden who can tackle most challenges with fallen fruit. With the right care and a bumper from WeShape, you can enjoy worry-free mowing even during apple season. Be proactive with your maintenance, and your robot lawn mower will continue to be an efficient and time-saving helper for many years to come.
