Husqvarna is introducing two new robotic lawn mowers for commercial use. The new Automower 535 AWD EPOS and Automower 580L EPOS are designed to provide autonomous solutions and revolutionize turf management for golf courses, sports fields and facility maintenance.
Both models offer wire-free operation and systematic mowing via EPOS technology as well as total control and increased efficiency when bundled with Husqvarna Fleet Services. The Automower 535 AWD EPOS is ideal for professionals needing a robotic solution for hilly areas on medium-sized commercial turf. It offers exceptional slope performance, handling slopes up to 70 percent with all-wheel drive mowing. Additional features include warning lights, FOTA (firmware over-the-air) updates, and a five-blade cutting disc, making it a versatile and efficient choice for areas up to 0.9 acres.
The Automower 580L EPOS is built for professionals maintaining golf course roughs, fairways, tee decks, and sports fields such as soccer, football, and baseball. Capable of handling high-quality turf up to two acres, it maximizes productivity, uptime and longevity with an 80W cutting motor, adjustable cutting height down to 10 millimeters, rotating wheel brushes, advanced object avoidance and a durable rubberized body that offers extra protection against golf ball impacts.
“The Automower 535 AWD EPOS and 580L EPOS are must-haves for turf professionals committed to revolutionizing and simplifying their green space management,” sports and golf VP Dave Plaster said. “As the demand for reliable autonomous turf care solutions rises, we’re thrilled to expand our professional robotic mower offerings to meet our customers’ high standards.”
The Atlanta Athletic Club has been using the Automower program, along with CEORA, to maintain their golf course.
“The best thing about the Automower is that they run and operate every day,” AAC director of agronomy Lukus Harvey said. “We feel strongly one of the things most people don’t think about is the turf health that comes from using these. In a matter of three or four months of switching to the Automower, we saw our turf health just turn around.”
The Automower 535 AWD EPOS is available now and the Automower 580L EPOS will be available beginning in March.
