KR171E
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 1500 ㎡.
The Kress KR171E Mission RTKn 1500 is a robotic mower built for gardens up to 1,500m². It runs without boundary wires, using satellite-based RTKn navigation to mow in straight lines and cover the entire area with accuracy.
This model uses RTKn (Real-Time Kinematic network) technology to operate without the need for buried wires. Once the mowing zone is mapped, it sticks to that layout, cutting with precision across every pass. The mower handles zones with curves, slopes, or corners without losing direction.
It features a twin-blade system, quiet operation, and automatic charging. You can set the mowing schedule and zones through the Kress app. For smaller gardens where clean results matter, the KR171E delivers consistent performance with almost no manual effort.

The KR171E is a wire-free solution for homeowners with mid-sized gardens. A few optional accessories can help with setup and upkeep, making your experience smoother from day one.
The mower depends on RTKn correction data to maintain precise mowing patterns. If your area has weak signal coverage, a local base station may be needed to deliver consistent accuracy.
A protective cover helps keep your charging dock clean, dry, and shaded from direct sun. This improves long-term reliability and keeps the mower’s contact points working properly.
Keep spare blades ready to maintain cut quality. A soft brush or small scraper can help keep the cutting deck free of grass buildup, especially after mowing damp areas.
If your lawn has tricky edges or multiple areas, setup markers can make it easier to define mowing zones when programming the mower using the Kress app.
GroundTech offers a full installation service — including RTK signal testing, zone mapping, and charger setup. To book your setup or ask questions, email [email protected] or use the form below.
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.
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.
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.
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.Â
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.Â
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.
When you choose GroundTech, you not only receive access to the most innovative robotics on the market, you benefit from over 20 years of expertise in the grounds maintenance industry. That’s the GroundTech Difference.
