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 ㎡.

  • 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
  • Patented obstacle avoidance system
  • Follows the shortest possible route to and from the charging station
  • Auto-levelling blade system adapts to terrain unevenness

Product Description

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.

About the Kress KR171E Mission RTKn 1500

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.

Specific Uses for the KR171E

  • Residential gardens up to 1,500m²
  • Homes with irregular shapes or split lawn areas
  • Gardens where wire installation isn’t practical
  • Users looking for clean mowing lines
  • Anyone wanting regular mowing with low noise

FAQs

  • Q: Does it need boundary wire?
    A: No. The KR171E uses RTKn to mow without wires, following a mapped digital layout.
  • Q: What if the lawn is split into zones?
    A: You can define and manage multiple zones through the app.
  • Q: Can it work in the rain?
    A: It’s weather-resistant, but performance is best in dry conditions.
  • Q: Does it return to charge automatically?
    A: Yes. When the battery is low, it docks and recharges on its own.
  • Q: Is the app required?
    A: The app is needed to map zones, adjust settings, and check status.

Accessories You’ll Need for the KR171E

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.

RTKn Signal or Local Base Station

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.

Charging Station Shelter

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.

Blade Kit and Cleaning Tools

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.

Setup Markers for Initial Mapping

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.

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.
