The Kress KR173E is a satellite-guided robotic mower that delivers centimetre-level accuracy using Kress RTKⁿ technology, with no perimeter wire, boundary beacons, or property-specific antennas required. Correction data is transmitted directly to the mower via Kress's network of base station antennas, ensuring precise positioning across the entire cutting area.
The mower follows a systematic parallel line pattern for maximum coverage efficiency, with MAP™ (Mowing Action Plan) technology providing advanced path optimisation and dynamic adjustment. Multi-zone capability allows the mower to navigate precisely between separate turf areas. Where satellite signals are obstructed by trees or buildings, dead reckoning mode maintains accurate routing until a clear signal is restored.
An auto-levelling floating blade deck adjusts continuously to uneven terrain, preventing scalping and ensuring a consistent finish. Cutting height is adjusted electronically via the Kress app, which also supports management of up to 10 mowers simultaneously. The RBS™ Regenerative Brake System recovers energy on descents, returning power to the battery. Anti-theft protection includes real-time geo-location tracking via the app. The IPX5-rated chassis is designed for hose-down cleaning.
