When it comes to maintaining a pristine lawn, the Husqvarna Automower stands out as a game-changer in garden care. However, like any well-oiled machine, it requires timely maintenance to keep performing at its best.
A common query we encounter at Landpower Robotics is regarding the longevity of the Automower’s blades. Here’s your guide to understanding the lifespan of your robotic mower’s blades and ensuring it continues to deliver a flawless cut every time.
Recognising When to Change Blades
The first sign that it’s time to change your Automower® blades is visible wear or damage. If you notice the grass tips are frayed and whitened post-mowing, this indicates dull blades that need replacement to maintain the safety and efficiency of your mower.
Always Opt for Original Husqvarna Blades
For optimal performance and safety, we at Landpower Robotics recommend using only genuine Husqvarna blades and screws for your Automower®. It’s crucial to replace the screws along with the blades since worn screws might cause the blades to come loose, posing a risk during operation.
Lifespan of Automower® Cutting Blades
- Main Disc Blades: These are expected to last between 3 to 6 weeks.
- EdgeCut Disc Blades: Since they’re only activated for edge cutting, these blades can last between 9 to 12 weeks.
Several factors could affect the duration of how long Husqvarna Automower blades last, including the blade model, operational hours, lawn size, grass type, and environmental elements like soil type or debris.
Seasonal Considerations
Springtime usually sees rapid grass growth, which might necessitate more frequent blade changes due to sap build up. We advise keeping a closer eye on your blades during this season to ensure continued optimal performance.
Impact of Dull Blades
Using your Automower® with dull blades not only results in an uneven cut but also increases energy consumption and reduces mowing efficiency. To keep your lawn looking its best, regular blade replacement is key.
User Insights
Many Automower® users recommend setting regular reminders for blade checks and replacements. This could be every 2 months or more frequently, depending on your lawn’s condition and the Automower®’s performance. Watching for signs of wear or listening for changes in the mower’s sound while cutting can help you decide when it’s time for a change.
Blades are relatively inexpensive and straightforward to replace, making it better to err on the side of replacing them more frequently for the best results. Terrain and obstacles like rocks or sticks will also play a significant role in how often replacements are needed.
The Key to a Perfect Lawn
Ensuring your Husqvarna Automower® has sharp, effective blades is crucial for maintaining a healthy, visually appealing lawn. Regular checks and replacements are part of the small but essential maintenance tasks that keep your robotic mower in top condition.
