Thank you for your comment and all your help in purchasing my latest Automower!

At time 9:10 its mentioned that each mower comes with a unique four-digit pin code. When I bought my EPOS 550H the pin code was on a printed sheet of paper that was inside the mower box. It's pretty easy to miss if you didn't know it was there. I looked for several hours before I realized where it was.

I’m glad you found your code, even if it was after a few hours of looking! I searched and searched as well, but could not find it. I called the dealer whom I bought it from, and they had to call the manufacturer. I finally got it after a couple of days. So if anyone buys a new one, make sure to get the code before you take your Automower home!

That Reference station set up had me actually laugh out loud.

Don't worry, I added bungee cords! I actually was figuring the set up out as I did this, so the reference station WILL find a permanent home. 😀

You did one hell of a job setting up your mower. I am HIGHLY impressed. When I buy one, I will probably have a friend that works for DirecTV mount it for me though.

Thank you! I put my reference station on a temporary post (the aluminum ladder in my video). I was not sure if it would work in tis location, but it is working great in the spot its in! The Husqvarna owner's manual said not to put the reference station on a building, but I've seen where other customers have. I hope this helps.

@@momsmachines5476 Thanks for telling me it's not necessary to place it on my house. I've seen two videos with the reference station mounted on homes and your video where it's in the ground. I don't know why. I loved the orange color at first. Then the red, white, and black Kress mower keeps calling my name. But the Husqvarna has lights on it. I wonder how that works.

Hi, do you have to use the reference station with the EPOS?

For my particular Automower, I needed the reference station. I’m not sure about others, but I will check into that. Thank you for your question.

Did they have that unit in stock? or, is it something that has to be ordered?? thanks!

The dealer I bought it from, Easley Lawn and Garden, does not keep the 550H in stock, although they have the other Husqvarna automowers in stock. You would have to check with your dealer and find out. I ordered and paid for mine and then they ordered it from the manufacturer . It took about a week or so to arrive at the dealer. I hope this helps you!

Did you consider a Kress robotic mower?

I have been using a Husqvarna Automower for almost 10 years. However, I did look at the Kress at the dealer where I got my 550H. For my acreage, the Kress costs about the same, maybe a little more. It seems similar to the Husqvarna in that it has the razor blades underneath, but it doesn't have the skid plate over them. Is that better? I don't know. It says on the product description, that you don't need a reference station, but I understood that you need some sort of a reference point. I'll ask when I go by there again. The dealer just started selling them, so I don't know too much.

@@momsmachines5476 Thanks for responding. I was sold on Kress or a Husqvarna 550H EPOS. Kress mowers use GPS satellites and either a mobile network or GNSS antenna to navigate. No reference point required. Also, you don't have to drive the robot around to map your lawn. Kress takes the pilot off the mower and places it on a mapping cart. They roll the mapping cart around your lawns perimeter and it's mapped! I was like that's 2 great advantages over Husqvarna. Right? Kress was supposed to give me a robotic mower to test out and eventually purchase. But their network isn't ready for prime time. For whatever reason, they're using Sprint towers is what my representative told me. Sprint was a horrible mobile carrier and Kress used their towers for their network. So Kress had to back track. Initially, they were going to install a GNSS receiver in my garage that would connect to my WiFi via ethernet cable and place their GNSS antenna on my roof for the mower. My representative from Kress didn't do the site survey for the GNSS, then the story kept changing. He mentioned something about my solar panels and the site survey. I'm a techie and I got a feeling my representative and Kress don't know what they are doing. The story changed to we're going to use the remote option for you. I am like okay. Nevermind, an antenna will be installed at a house within 10 miles of your house so you won't need a receiver-antenna. Then I heard NOTHING for a month. Received an email from my representative. Please sign this contract so we can install the receiver and antenna for FREE. I am done with them and I am ghosting Kress! Especially after watching your video. Why would I want their GNSS receiver in my garage when I can buy a 550H EPOS and it only requires using a reference station? I posted my experience on Reddit. A guy in Tennessee purchased a Kress robotic mower. They told him the signal from the antenna located at the dealer would reach his house. He was told the antenna has 23 miles of range. I told him the range is only 10 miles. He lives 13 miles away from the dealer. Long story short, his $4K robotic mower is a paperweight! He can't connect his robot to their network which doesn't exist or the dealer's antenna. They told him they're going to install an antenna at some location that's near his house. Does this story sound familiar? I just need to find a reputable Husqvarna representative to sell me one. Your experience of 10 years with Husqvarna speaks volumes to me. They're a reliable company.
