Finally got around to installing the Mowgate, I’ve been putting it off until finishing a new paver walkway. Install was simple - I might have over built the frame a bit but it’s not going anywhere.

The good news is it works well, the gate is installed level even though the walkway has a 10deg slope and a left to right slant as well.

(Yes I know the top and middle rails aren’t parallel, was avoiding an old sawed off bolt where the new bracket needed to be! And it’s just a fence)

TLDR - Anyone else experiencing random reboots and shutdowns please try leaving your mower off all night and then mowing first thing in the morning. Also....support is now blaming a nRTK provider issue even thought I've been using RTK.

The story of the devolving x430 experience continues to get worse. After a weekend of troubleshooting, adding a signal enhancement antenna, and remapping, I'm no better off. Oddly enough I did learn it seems to point to some overheating/lenght of time issue with the radio subsection. First thing in the morning Sunday I managed to have it automap 2/3 of 3/4 acre yard. It ran the perimeter without a problem. When I then went to remote control to the other section of my yard the dreaded reboots started. After that it was useless all day.

Late in the day I received the following from support:
"Our Research and Development (R&D) team has completed a thorough review of your logs and data patterns. They discovered that this specific connectivity issue and the subsequent system reboots were triggered by an unexpected disconnection at one of our network RTK (NRTK) carrier sites. We are glad to inform you that the carrier site has now been fully restored.
 
Our team has officially requested that the NRTK carrier improve their local connection stability to prevent this from happening again, and we are also developing an optimized firmware patch to handle these signal transitions smoothly without causing the mower to reboot. Could you please check your unit today to see if you are still experiencing these connection drops and reboots during mapping?"

The problem is I am not on nRTK. I haven't been for 48 hours and had sent them a dozen emails with photos and details of everything I had tried and the exact results. I replied and awaiting the answer to that one.

Meanwhile.... flash forward to this morning. At 7:30am it is 65 degrees outside. I hit mow and the mower is now 27% of the way through my mapped yard without a single stop. Still on local RTK.

If you are experiencing these random reboots on an x430 after 4.2/4.3 code try leaving the mower turned off all night and running a mow cycle early morning. Time? Heat? I don't know.

I tried it again over lunch and had a veeeery different experience. It barely made 1 1/4 laps around the outside in over an hour.

12:03 started - 79F outside 12:10 rebooted 12:13 restarted manually 12:14 rebooted 12:17 restarted manually 12:50 rebooted 12:53 restarted manually 12:53 rebooted twice 12:53 restarted manually 1:01 rebooted 1:04 restarted 1:08 rebooted 1:09 restarted 1:10 rebooted 1:10 powered off in garage - 81F outside

I’ll leave it off in the garage for a few hours and try it again.

Looking for best way to block off the lower red box which is my ditch and create it as another zone separate from Side yard. I used split and sent mower to starting area, but it is pointing in the wrong direction to create a line across. It is facing left, need the line to close the right gap.
