Yarbo — the modular tracked robot that mows all summer and clears snow all winter
One tracked Core, swappable modules: a 20-inch Lawn Mower Pro rated to about 6 acres per unit, a Snow Blower with a 12-inch intake, a leaf blower. The only single robot that answers both mowing and snow — and the workhorse of our own 12-acre Eastern Shore fleet.
Who Yarbo is for
- Big, rough properties. Tracks cross ruts, ditches and rough ground a wheeled mower can't, and one Pro is rated to about 6 acres.
- Snow. Map the driveway and walks, set a throwing direction per surface, and storms get cleared on a schedule — a 12-inch intake and the honesty about plow berms up front.
- Four-season budgets: one machine, two jobs. The Lawn Mower Pro + Snow Blower package has its own page and its own math.
- Acreage fleets. Our 12-acre Eastern Shore system runs five Yarbos alongside five LUBA 3s with zero gas mowers.
- Gravel driveways — with the right setup, which we've written up.
- Leaves. The blower module turns the same Core into fall cleanup.
Who it isn't for
- Small suburban lots. It's a 20-inch tracked machine at a tracked-machine price; the X315 or YUKA mini is the honest answer under half an acre.
- Tight, ornate yards with narrow passages and lots of beds — a wheeled mower threads those better.
- Properties without a good Data Center spot. The RTK base wants 120°-plus of sky, a rigid high mount and a wired PoE run; a wireless bridge is Yarbo's own fallback, with the stability caveat we print.
- The worst plow berms and bonded ice. A robot snow blower is not a plow; we say so before you buy.
- A one-person afternoon install. Four boxes, about 220 pounds, and the dock has to sit outside every work area.

Yarbo — common questions
What does a Yarbo actually do?
Whatever module is on the Core. The Lawn Mower Pro is a 20-inch dual-disc mower rated to about 6 acres per unit; the Snow Blower clears driveways and walks with a 12-inch intake and a throwing direction you set per surface; the leaf blower handles fall cleanup. One tracked robot, swapped in minutes — the M Series review on this page walks through all of it.
How big a property can a Yarbo handle?
About 6 acres per unit for the Lawn Mower Pro, and more with a fleet — our own 12-acre Eastern Shore system runs five Yarbos alongside five LUBA 3s. Map your property free and the tool sizes the fleet from the real mowable area.
Does it really clear snow?
Yes, on the surfaces you map — driveway, walks, an apron — on a schedule, with a 12-inch intake and the throw direction set per area. The honest limits are the municipal plow berm and bonded ice, which we cover before you buy, and gravel works with the right setup. Map your driveway free and we'll verify the fit, including what last winter actually dropped at your address.
What does the install involve?
More than a mower. Four boxes and about 220 pounds make it a two-person job; the Data Center (the RTK base) wants 120°-plus of open sky on a rigid, high mount with a wired PoE run — about 98 feet of cable ships in the box — and the dock must sit level, with clearance, outside every work area. The lawn and the driveway are mapped in separate sessions. It's why we install it ourselves.
Is one Yarbo better than a mower plus a snow blower?
For a property that needs both, usually — it's the only single robot that does both jobs, and the Lawn Mower Pro + Snow Blower package prices as one machine. We've compared a robot winter against a plow contract, and a Yarbo Pro against the Terranox and the LUBA 3, on this site.
The other brands we carry
Segway Navimow Centimeter-accurate RTK guidance, an X series for lawns up to 1.5 acres on one unit, and the commercial Terranox for 3 to 6. Most of the install stories on this site are Navimows — which is also why we know exactly where they stop. The Navimow page →
Mammotion The LUBA 3 AWD fuses 360° LiDAR, NetRTK and AI vision, so it holds its position under tree cover and after dark, and its four-wheel drive is rated for 80% slopes. Three sizes to 1.25 acres, plus the small-yard YUKA mini. We run five of them on our own 12-acre system. The Mammotion page → ⚖️ Navimow vs Mammotion vs Yarbo Which robot mower brand?
