A commercial robotic mower that uses Husqvarna EPOS® satellite guidance to define virtual boundaries instead of physical wires. Suited to fleet use and sites with multiple work areas, it manages up to 5000 m², handles slopes up to 45% and is designed to operate reliably in wet conditions. EPOS RS5 Reference Station is required; full remote control and monitoring use Husqvarna Fleet Services / Automower Connect.

Wire‑free EPOS boundaries

EPOS uses RTK‑GNSS guidance for virtual boundaries with accuracy down to approximately 2 cm. That removes the need for perimeter cable and allows routine deep aeration and turf repairs without disrupting the installation.

Commercial‑grade reliability

Weatherproof design, robust cutting system with five HSS blades and balance control mean continuous operation through the growing season with low energy consumption and reduced downtime.

Flexible zone and pattern control

Create multiple customised work areas with individual schedules, cutting heights and selectable mowing patterns. Temporary stay‑out zones can be activated from the app for events or maintenance.

Weather timer

Weather timer

Adjusts the working time to the lawn’s growth rate, meaning that Husqvarna Automower® will maximise its mowing time during periods of strong grass growth. In sunny or dry weather, or late in the season, the mower will spend less time mowing, which decreases wear on lawn and mower.

Theft protection by GPS

Theft protection by GPS

Products equipped with Automower Connect®/Husqvarna Fleet Services™ immediately begin tracking its GPS position and send notifications to your devices. Makes the installation extra safe and minimizes the risk of theft.

Safety sensors

Safety sensors

If Husqvarna Automower® is used correctly, the product is safe and reliable. It is equipped with several sensors, including an automatic and immediate shutdown of the cutting function if the unit tips over or is lifted from the ground. The product design ensures that the blades are positioned well away from the outer edge of the machine body for increased safety. If Automower® encounters any obstacles, it stops or changes direction, further ensuring its mowing mission.

Weatherproof design

Weatherproof design

Husqvarna’s robotic products are built with 30 years of experience in harsh weather types, such as the Nordic climate. They are designed to operate 24/7 throughout the grass growing season, with normal maintenance and cleaning. The unique cutting system, with free-hanging razor blades on a cutting disc, ensures the cutting result even in rainy conditions.

FAQs

Will this fit my machine?

Fitment can vary by model and deck size. Send us your mower model (and deck size if applicable) and we’ll confirm compatibility before you order.

Do I need any extra brackets or fitting kits?

Some accessories require a mounting kit or specific brackets depending on your machine. If you’re unsure, ask us and we’ll advise the correct setup.

Can you fit it for me?

Yes — if you’d like installation, let us know when ordering and we can arrange fitting (collection, workshop fit, or on-site depending on the product).

Do I need any additional hardware to operate the EPOS system?

Yes. An EPOS RS5 Reference Station is required for the virtual, wire‑free installation. Placement and commissioning of the reference station are part of the installation process to achieve the stated RTK accuracy.

What area and battery performance can I expect?

The mower is specified for up to 5000 m² (±20%). Typical mow time on one charge is about 75 minutes with a typical charging time of 50 minutes; battery capacity is 5.0 Ah. Maximum continuous active scheduling can be configured if required.

How are remote control, updates and theft protection handled?

Remote monitoring, control and firmware updates are managed via Husqvarna Fleet Services / Automower Connect. The system provides GPS tracking, alarms and FOTA updates. Note that support from Automower Connect is required during installation and when editing EPOS boundaries.
