Kress KR172E Mission RTK 2000m2

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

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.
