Kress KR173E Mission RTKn 3000

The Kress KR173E Mission RTKn 3000 is built for lawns up to 3,000m². It runs without boundary wires and uses satellite-guided RTKn navigation to follow a defined path with tight precision. Designed for regular use, it handles slopes, uneven ground, and awkward areas with ease.

About the Kress KR173E Mission RTKn 3000

This model runs on RTKn (Real-Time Kinematic network) positioning. That means it doesn’t rely on perimeter wires or random mowing patterns. Instead, it follows a planned route with a margin of error under a few centimetres. That accuracy reduces missed patches and stops the mower from drifting over time. It comes with twin cutting blades, a weather-resistant shell, and a reliable battery system. The mower returns to its charging dock on its own and can be set to cut on a schedule using the Kress app. It’s built for homeowners who want clean, consistent results without hands-on work.

Specific Uses for the KR173E

• Domestic gardens between 1,000–3,000m²
• Properties with irregular boundaries or curved edges
• Lawns with moderate slopes and varied terrain
• Users who want to avoid laying perimeter wires
• Homes needing regular, quiet mowing without disruption

FAQs

• Q: How does it work without boundary wire? A: It uses satellite corrections through RTKn. Once the mowing area is mapped, the mower sticks to that zone without drifting.
• Q: Can it cut near flower beds or ponds? A: Yes, zones can be mapped to avoid areas you want left untouched.
• Q: Is it suitable for gardens with slopes? A: It handles slopes up to 40%, making it suitable for most residential gardens.
• Q: How is it controlled? A: Through the Kress app, where you can set schedules, zones, and check its status.
• Q: What happens if it rains? A: It’s weather-resistant and can mow in light rain, but like most mowers, heavy rain may affect results.

Accessories You’ll Need for the KR173E

The KR173E offers a wire-free setup, but a few optional accessories will make installation quicker and ongoing use more reliable. These extras are especially helpful if your garden includes slopes, shaded areas, or complex zones.

RTKn Signal or Base Station Support

The KR173E relies on RTKn correction data to maintain accuracy. If your area doesn’t have strong RTK coverage, a compatible local base station can be used to keep the mower locked into its mapped zones.

Docking Station Shelter

Protect the charging dock from UV, moisture, and falling debris with a purpose-built mower garage or cover. This helps extend the life of the charging connections and improves long-term reliability.

Spare Blades and Cleaning Tools

To maintain a sharp, clean cut, we recommend keeping a set of replacement blades on hand. A compact cleaning brush also helps keep the underside free of grass buildup between cuts.

Setup Flags or Markers

When defining mowing zones digitally, simple ground markers can help during the first setup. These can be removed once the KR173E has mapped and memorised the route.
