I like the luba vlog videos. You are by far the best at real life reviews for it. Fingers crossed they increase the size area. Mowing 2.5 acres in 95 degrees is killing me! Thanks for your videos.
Might suggest taking a pressure treated 2x12, cut to lengths of the window plastic and screw thru the plastic into the vertical 2x12 to raise it above Luba. Might want to make top longer by overlapping the plastic to completely cover Luba. Nice find of the window cover! =D= This is something I would use for my outdoor train layout to use as a parking garage for the trains on a temporary need for rain or sun if I didn’t want to bring them all in at once.
if you press the stop button and then double click the 'grass button' a number of times in a row, your cutting deck will lower to the lowest position, then raise again if you keep pressing. makes cleaning the mower deck much easier. you just have to remember that the lift sensor of the front axle is not activated, otherwise this function will not work.
Get a used plastic 45 Gal drum and cut it in half to make a house for Luba. Love your videos. I'm still having problems with programming Luba, but I've only had it a week.
Great idea! Sorry you're having trouble. Hopefully you'll get it squared away! I almost never have technical troubles anymore any problem I have is because of stick gets jammed in Luba
I ordered one today from home depot as well. Free shipping. I plan on moving mine to a slab and using one of those 3x3 rubber mats with the holes in it. I'll use zip ties to hold the charger base to the matt and the garage to the matt, with some bricks in between to give it more elevation.
We just received our official Mammotion garage after a long delay and noticed that now it’s on sale for $150….which is still crazy for a piece of plastic but it does easily attach to Luba’s charging base. I did attach my GoPro 360 in the past, but haven’t tried it with the garage.
Thanks for the info Crazy. Still waiting for the off-road wheels to be available on the 3000. They have an "option" for those but when you click on it, it sends you to the 5000. :^(
You might look into graphite lubricant. I saw on a lawnmower page where they use it to keep lawnmower decks clean. I took apart my worx landroid and sprayed it. Going to give it a month and take a look and see if there are less grass clippings stuck underneath.
Zero complaints with my Luba. One thing I would like to see an increase in speed. 1. Complaint noticed while cleaning striped hex head holding one of the blades from factory….. not cool
Add me to the list... just ordered it for delivery from HomeDepot. Seen too many posts now about people saying some their Luba having water damage from water collecting from the stop button. Also following the issues about water damage to the RTK antenna. Are you concerned about that? Considering either adding seal to the seams or getting one of those 3d printed RTK covers. I'm concerned mainly because if something happens to the RTK... I have no idea how long it would take to replace it. I'm certainly not going to leave the RTK antenna outside during the Winter. But currently I've had some serious rain by me and Luba is working just fine being outside.
I'm not concerned about it in the slightest, If it breaks it'll be a warranty repair because it's built to live outside. And I'm definitely not taking RTK down in the winter. I'm sure luba will get to park in a closet for the winter though. But I've had a husqvarna automower in my backyard for years and it stayed outside every winter and it doesn't have a house and it's fine.
I just got my Luba and heard people talking about silicon sealing their RTK. So I bought a tube of silicon sealant from HD and put some over all screws and seams where pieces come together. Hopefully this will help water seal the RTK a little better.
Well, it's July 21, 2023 and the amazon link still shows it only at 5k square meters. If you can, please compare and contrast All-wheel Drive Omni Version with the All Rubber wheel version. Why would I buy one version versus the other? Thank you. Oh, subscribing today, too.
Leaving the Luba out in the elements is definitely a major shortfall. When not using I manually drive mine into the garage where its protected from the sun in the day and thieves at night. First thing in the morning he heads to the charging station while the dew dries.
My Husqvarna automower has been in my backyard without a house for almost 6 years now. they're built for it. Luba's been in the backyard only since February.
should get a security camera and tape it to the top like Postman.. if anyone walks up to it you should get a notification to grab a gun :) or firecracker.. I think he's very smart for doing the security camera
@@direwolf3972 The only downside to the security camera is I can watch it live while it's mowing but I have to disable the motion detection or I'll get tons of notifications haha. Maybe I shouldn't have said that of course I leave motion detection on all the time cough cough
That's pretty awesome. There isn't a Husqvarna that I know of around here still running after 6 years! Hope you get the same longevity from the Luba. I am worried about the computer components and battery holding up in the heat. I have little faith that the tires can make it without dry rotting off the wheels. Can you buy new rubber as I'm going to need it?
@@Crazypostman lol yea, I honestly just want it in case someone tries to steal it at night, when I get mine I will have it on our porch if I can buy a nice easy ramp for it... saw one person build a baby ramp and his backs up on it like those car stilts for cars to drive them onto a big trailer. Keep up the good work and hope we get that 10,000m update would be insane
I had to order mine from HomeDepot and they shipped it to me free. Screw it to some 4x4's to raise it up and to keep it from blowing away?? Update 245 - It said something about fixing lift motor issue but the print was pretty small and didn't stay there very long. I did notice the iPhone app now has the battery level in black with white numbers and is much easier to read the charge status. It also seemed to fix the unexpected mow height change when you create a schedule and exit back out of the schedule. I hadn't noticed much more yet.
Mammotion has a video where they are upgrading the firmware on the RTK, but they don't say where you can get that update or the program to do so. Do you have any ideas on how to do this? Thanks.
Can you confirm if the 10,000 sq m update ever happened? If so I would love confirmation so I can purchase a gen 1 5000 vs paying over $4K for the L2 10K. Mammotion says it false information when I asked them but some guy said the update is real and that Mammotion doesn't wan't the public to know so they will purchase the Luba 2 10000.
I've been told the update is live now and the Luba 1 5000s can map a little over 2 acres now but I can't personally confirm that because I've never actually tested it myself.
I have 5988m^2 squeezed into mine at the moment using the trick to modify perimeter....really would love to get 10k. That would make me pull the trigger on a second to get full coverage for our property!
GOOD MORNING ONE MORE QUESTION IF I MOVE MY CHARGING STATION JUST WANNA TURN IT FROM 12 OCLOCK TO 2 O CLOCK WILL I HAVE ANY PROBLEMS ?? MINE IS THE ONE THAT COMES HOME SOMETIMES BACK WARDS ONLY SOME TIMES SO I WANNA TRY TURNING IT.. THANKS YOUR DOING A GREAT JOP .. CAN YOU DO A JOP ON TAPE CUTTING A ZONE IN HALF AND CONNECT IT TO EACH OTHER TO GO TO CHARGING STATION ????? THANKS
You should be able to move the charging station without causing problems. Luba will ask if you moved the charging station just say yes. You cannot cut a zone in half You have to delete the zone and remap two smaller zones. Technically you could edit the zone and cut one of them in half and then you would have to remap the second one but the edit function can be finicky sometimes I would just recommend deleting it and remapping The one large zone into two small zones slightly overlap the zones so it has a path to get through and won't miss anything
I run a VPN at my house so websites think I'm at random places in the country and sometimes I forget about this, it did show in stock when I looked but it was for somewhere in Iowa 😂
I would be happy if they cut my area in half and made it so it did not run over my flower bed or into the side of the house. My GPS is screwed and customer support is missing in action. Buyer beware!
That sucks, obviously something's wrong. Hopefully they respond and get it figured out for you. Mine has never went off track except for one time when the RTK got moved slightly in a wind storm.
I was able to "cheat" my total map to about 5800 sq/m. I did this by stopping forward motion when the warning came up, then tapping the target icon to recenter the mower and map. Doing this made the warning disappear and I was able to continue adding space. I repeated this process until I was done. I also mowed a couple of the maps following the process, just to test. However, the next day, when I went to start a new mow, all of my 5 maps and restricted zones had disappeared. Vanished. I rebooted my phone and restarted the map. Nothing. So I began the arduous journey of remapping. My mower abruptly stopped. I noticed a firmware update, so I installed it. Immediately after a successful install, the mower powered off and I have been unable to revive it. I'm wondering my experimentation somehow caused the catastrophic failure.
I find it hard to believe that anything a user could do would crash Luba like that. You might try doing a factory reboot but that will clear everything again.

I'm a fan of the upgrade! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
It would be great if they designed a garage that connected to a hose and auto cleaned the underside while charging.

Yes this is a great tip I've mentioned this in a previous video!
Mammotion may have posted a video dealing their up & coming July update. Expansion of the acres to 10,000 square meters is coming in the July update.
Heard this rumor about a month ago , keeping my fingers crossed.

how many sqft or sqm do you mow on a normal day ? and how long does it take ? thanks for all the videos !
You could screw your window well to 2 treated 4X4s that way it can be moved easy

Someone is going to put ChatGPT in that thing. ChatGPT with swords. We're doomed.
The blades flop around to avoid damage to them or whatever it hits, dog toy or tree branch. They wont go dull as fast as a result either.

one question in modified bountry if i do that do i change the whole zone or just like one side to make it straight thanks bart
If you're editing a pre-existing boundary You should be able to just edit one little spot without doing the whole area.

Just got my Luba. Took a while to get it set up and updated.
What are the two gold pins on the top of the housing for?
Are you talking about the charging pins? Those stick out inside and when Luba backs up they touch the two plates on the back of Luba to charge.
The two small gold looking pins about 1/2" apart on the top of Luba would be the rain sensor.
@@RJMachine62 That's a much better answer than the one I gave 😂 I was thinking of course they know about the charger connection
If you need a cheap Luba Garage, take a plastic rainwater barrel, cut it in the middle, and you have two of them...😊
Great idea!
The advertisement for Luba every time we start adding a new zone.... Ugh
You do know you can go online before going to the store to see if they have anything in stock, right? 😂
I run a VPN at my house so websites think I'm at random places in the country and sometimes I forget about this, it did show in stock when I looked but it was for somewhere in Iowa 😂
