Can the Lymow One Plus cut long, rough grass like a paddock?

It's designed with rougher ground in mind more than most robot mowers, but Lymow doesn't say how long grass can be before it struggles. The Lymow One Plus uses 2 rotary mulching blades across a 406 mm deck, rather than the small pivoting razor blades on a disc that most robot mowers use. Lymow quotes a blade speed of 3,000 to 6,000 rpm and offers alternative blade types, including swing blades, as options.

The height range is also generous, from 30 mm up to 102 mm, which lets you keep a longer, meadow-style finish. It runs on tracks, is rated for 100% slopes, and can climb obstacles up to 71 mm according to Lymow's lab figure.

Like any robot mower, it works best on grass it keeps short with frequent runs. If a paddock has become overgrown, cut it down first with a conventional mower or brush cutter, then set the robot's height and let it maintain it. Rough fields bring other hazards: stones, molehills and fallen branches can damage blades, and Lymow's warranty excludes blades and tracks. Remember too that the mower depends on RTK positioning; Lymow says it can cover only about 100 to 150 m² without a fix, so a paddock surrounded by tall trees may be a problem. Our blades guide covers blade types and replacement.
