KR172E

Instructed by the Kress RTKn network, it navigates your lawn with centimeter-level accuracy. No need for boundary wire nor fixed reference antenna to be installed in the lawn. The dead reckoning algorithm ensures accuracy where lines of sight to the satellites are blocked by trees and buildings. Operated by the MAP (Mowing Action Plan™) technology, it efficiently manicures lawns up to 3000 ㎡ (2000 ㎡ recommended).

  • Satellite-guided — no perimeter wire installation
  • Centimeter-level accuracy without the need for a fixed antenna on the lawn
  • Systematic coverage in parallel lines for maximum mowing efficiency
  • Satellite-precise multi-zone management
  • Follows the shortest possible route to and from the charging station
  • Auto-levelling blade system adapts to terrain unevenness

Product Description

The Kress KR172E Mission RTKn 2000 is a robotic mower for lawns up to 2,000m². It works without perimeter wire by using RTKn satellite navigation. Once the area is mapped, it runs on its own with minimal input, cutting in straight lines and covering every zone.

About the Kress KR172E Mission RTKn 2000

Designed for medium-sized gardens, the KR172E runs using RTKn (Real-Time Kinematic network) for precise guidance. No boundary wire is needed—setup is done digitally through the Kress system. The mower follows a mapped path instead of moving randomly, cutting more efficiently and finishing faster.

It includes a dual-blade system, strong rear drive wheels, and a brushless motor. It’s built to handle slopes and edges while staying quiet enough for use at any time of day. All settings, zones, and schedules can be managed from the Kress app.

Specific Uses for the KR172E

  • Residential gardens up to 2,000m²
  • Homes where wire installation isn’t possible or wanted
  • Lawns with clear boundaries and moderate slopes
  • Split-zone areas like front and back gardens
  • Users looking for hands-off, scheduled mowing

  • Q: How is the mower set up without wires?
    A: The lawn area is mapped digitally using RTKn navigation. No physical wires are needed.
  • Q: Can it cut at night?
    A: Yes. It’s quiet enough to run without disturbing neighbours or household members.
  • Q: Does it need manual charging?
    A: No. It returns to its charging dock automatically and resumes mowing when ready.
  • Q: Can it handle uneven ground?

Accessories You’ll Need for the KR172E

The KR172E provides a solid mid-range option for homeowners who want a wire-free setup with precise mowing patterns. While it comes ready to run, a few accessories help fine-tune the setup and improve long-term performance.

RTKn Correction Signal or Base Station

The mower needs access to a stable RTKn signal for best performance. If your area has patchy coverage, a compatible RTK base station ensures the mower stays locked into its mowing path without drifting.

Charging Dock Shelter

To protect the dock and keep performance consistent, we recommend a weatherproof shelter. This helps avoid charging faults caused by heavy rain or debris buildup.

Spare Blades and Cleaning Kit

For consistent cut quality, spare blades should be kept on hand. A soft brush or cloth for cleaning the deck area helps keep the mower running efficiently—especially during wetter months.

Setup Markers for Multi-Zone Gardens

If your 2,000m² garden includes several mowing zones, simple flags or temporary markers make it easier to map these during initial setup in the Kress app.

GroundTech offers a full installation service for the KR172E — from RTK signal setup to guided zone mapping. Email [email protected] or use the form below to request a hassle-free installation.

Advantages of using the Robot Mower

On Time, Every Time

Operating autonomously for up to 24 hours a day, allowing each task to be completed at a time that best suits you and your schedule and alleviating the pressure on manual labour.

All Weather

The light footprint of the robot allows it to work on even the softest ground, retaining the playability and presentation of your facility no matter the challenges posed by mother nature.

Precision

Engineered to not only save on fuel and staff hours, GroundTech’s robotic solutions deliver a precise cut and quality finish worthy of first-class sport or picture-postcard experiences.

Quiet

The hood and main body of the robot is insulated to deliver efficiency and effectiveness with minimal noise – ideal for working at night or in built up areas with no disruption. 

Sustainable

The robot consumes up to 90% less energy than a standard mower. In addition, the clippings returned to the surface can also reduce the requirement for fertiliser and other chemical applications. 

Quality

Mowing more frequently and consistently will being multiple benefits to the turf surface. A ‘little and often’ approach improves presentation,  increases sward density & prevents weed ingress.
