Why Choose Husqvarna Robotic Mowers Over Other Competitors?

When it comes to large-scale turf automation, not all robotic mowers are built equal. Many brands work well for residential lawns, but Husqvarna is the clear leader for commercial sports fields, golf courses, municipalities and large properties. Their fleet-grade durability, proven EPOS virtual boundary system, and unmatched brand reliability set them apart.

Here’s why Husqvarna stands above the competition:

---

1. Industry-Leading EPOS Virtual Boundary System

Most competitors still rely on perimeter wire or less stable GPS-only systems.
EPOS uses RTK satellite positioning for 1–2 cm accuracy without trenching or wire installation.

Advantages over the competitors:

• No wires to bury, maintain, locate, or repair
• Rapid layout changes for sports field rotations or events
• Create stay-out zones instantly for wet areas, events or repairs
• Perfect cut lines & striping for professional turf appearance

For multi-field complexes, EPOS is a game-changer.

2. True Commercial Reliability — Built for Continuous Use

Many mowers marketed as “commercial” are still consumer-grade internally. Husqvarna’s commercial line of robots runs 24/7, built for high-usage environments.

Where Husqvarna excels:

• Heavy-duty electric motors
• Reinforced chassis & wheel design
• Long life blades & low maintenance cycles
• Handles rain, heat, heavy turf growth, and long runtime schedules

This is why you see Husqvarna deployed in stadiums, universities, golf courses and pro sports facilities worldwide.

3. Fleet Management Platform = Data, Control & Automation

With Husqvarna Fleet Services, you control every mower remotely:

Feature	Husqvarna	Competitors
GPS live tracking	✔	Partial or limited
Work area scheduling	✔ Advanced	Basic
Multi-unit coordination	✔	Rare
Theft tracking	✔ w/ geo-lock	Sometimes none
OTA updates & management	✔	Limited

This alone saves managers hours of labour.

4. Cut Quality on Sports Turf is Noticeably Better

Husqvarna uses frequent micro-cutting, improving turf density and surface smoothness.

Benefits versus rotary residential-style systems:

• Fewer clippings → no windrows
• Healthier, thicker turf over time
• Even growth = superior ball roll consistency
• Stripe options for CEORA & 580L elevate aesthetics

Golf superintendents notice the difference immediately.

5. Scalability — A System That Grows With Your Facility

Whether you’re maintaining a single field or an entire golf complex, Husqvarna offers a full platform that scales smoothly, meaning you can start with one mower and expand without switching brands, apps, or hardware. The same EPOS reference stations can manage multiple mowers, and each model fits a different range.

Model	Ideal Area Capacity	Best Use Case
CEORA	Up to ~18 acres (≈75,000 m²)	Golf fairways, sports complexes, multi-field operations
580L EPOS	Up to ~4 acres (≈16,000 m²)	Golf turf & low-cut premium sports fields
560 EPOS	Up to ~3 acres (≈12,000 m²)	Sports fields, municipal parks, training turf
550 EPOS	Up to ~2.5 acres (≈10,000 m²)	Commercial lawns, sports surfaces, stadium surrounds
520 EPOS	Up to ~1.25 acres (≈5,000 m²)	Schools, campuses, segmented zones, practice surfaces

What scalability really means for turf managers:

• Start with one mower → expand across fields without rewiring or re-mapping
• Add more units as required — no infrastructure overhaul needed
• One Fleet dashboard manages every machine, every zone, every schedule
• Multiple mowers can work together on one property or field block
• EPOS lets you redraw boundaries instantly for tournaments, events, wet areas or overseeding

Bottom line: Husqvarna grows with your facility instead of limiting it.
You’re not buying “a mower” — you’re investing in a modular automation platform.

6. Lower Operational Costs Over Time

No wires. Less labour. Less fuel. No ride-on maintenance downtime.

You reduce:

• hours trimming around irrigation heads
• staff time on mowing cycles
• equipment wear and fuel spend
• noise complaints & emissions

The ROI is measurable and fast, especially for golf + sports turf.
