Husqvarna – pioneer in robotic mowing, celebrates 25 years of robotic mower production by launching a new robotic mower, Husqvarna Automower® 305. Developed for small gardens but equipped with the features of a larger robotic mower, the new Husqvarna Automower® 305 can handle slopes with an incline of up to 40% and an area of 600 m2.

With features previously only found in its larger siblings, Husqvarna Automower® 305 brings premium performance into small gardens up to 600m2. The slope control of Automower® 305 ensures intelligent behavior when navigating the challenges of a garden. This means less wear and risk of the mower getting stuck on slopes of up to 40%. As well as this, its eco-mode reduces energy consumption and the potential risk of interfering with hearing aid systems.

“With Automower® 305 we are bringing increased and true Automower® performance into small gardens, offering premium capabilities and features in the lower price segment. Being built in modules, it provides us with new possibilities in both upkeep and customisation.”, says Olle Markusson, Director Robotics at Husqvarna.

Automower® Connect@Home lets the user control their Husqvarna Automower® 305 robotic mower within Bluetooth® reach with a smartphone, offering the possibility to see the current status of the mower, send start, pause and park commands and adjust the cutting height. Automower® Connect with cellular access, allowing GPS traction, integration with several smart home services and worldwide remote control, is offered as an accessory.

For carefree operation, Automower® 305 is equipped with a weather timer which automatically adapts the amount of mowing to the lawn growth rate. It also features a frost sensor which prevents the mower from working on a frosty lawn protecting the lawn appearance.

Manufactured in modules, the new Husqvarna robotic mower offers easy replacement of parts and the possibility to remove the body cover with a maintenance tool for cleaning with a hose pipe. There are a range off accessories available for the Automower® 305 including replaceable top covers which allows the customer to change the colour of the mower.

The Systematic Passage Mowing feature is a mowing pattern for operation in narrow passages. This system automatically guides the mower through narrow passages – for less tracking and faster handling.

Husqvarna Automower® 305 has a modern and forward-looking design with a pronounced front, slim waist and emphasized wheelhouses. Side protection offers increased strength whilst the mower’s compact and light build ensures easy manoeuvrability without compaction and tracking in small tricky gardens.

Olle Markusson explains: “Husqvarna Automower® 305 is perfect for those who want a pristine lawn but struggle to maintain it manually due to either complexity or time constraints. Automower® 305 will take the stress away from lawn maintenance with its technological features available in a small mower for the first time, making mowing simpler than ever before.”

Husqvarna Automower® is the world leading robotic lawnmower since 1995, mowing public and residential lawns around the world, and known for its quiet and reliable handling of complex lawns. Husqvarna Automower® can easily handle steep slopes, automatically return to its charging station, as well as be controlled from anywhere in the world with connectivity.
