2026 Kress Robotic Lawn Mower RTK

🤖🌱 KRESS RTKⁿ ROBOTIC MOWERS — ARE THEY REALLY THAT GOOD?

Imagine finishing work, pulling into the driveway and your lawn is already cut… AGAIN. 😎

No riding mower.

No employee sitting on a machine.

No perimeter wire buried around the property.

And no antenna mounted in your yard.

That’s the idea behind Kress RTKⁿ robotic mowing technology.

📡 WHAT MAKES RTKⁿ DIFFERENT?

Kress uses satellite-based RTK positioning to give the mower extremely precise navigation without requiring a traditional perimeter wire or a dedicated RTK antenna installed on the property.

Instead of randomly bouncing around the lawn, the mower follows systematic parallel cutting patterns — giving the property that clean, striped appearance. And the lineup covers everything from the backyard to serious commercial turf:

🏡 KR161 — ¼ Acre

Great entry point for smaller residential properties.

🏡 KR172 — ½ Acre

Recommended around 0.5 acre, with maximum capacity around 0.7 acre.

🏡 KR173 — ¾ Acre + OAS

Recommended around 0.7 acre and capable of approximately 1.2 acres under Kress's maximum-area mowing schedule.

🌳 KR174 — 1¼ Acre + OAS

Recommended around 1.2 acres with a maximum rating around 1.7 acres.

🏢 KR233 — 3 Acre Commercial

Recommended for approximately 3 acres, but rated up to approximately 4.5 acres under Kress's maximum-area schedule.

🚜 KR236 / KR236S — 6 Acre

Built for serious commercial properties. The KR236S is rated for approximately 6 acres recommended / 9 acres maximum.

🔥 KR237 — 7 Acre Commercial

The big one in the conventional RTKⁿ lineup: approximately 7 acres recommended and up to 10.5 acres maximum depending on mowing frequency and conditions.

Kress now goes even bigger with specialized commercial/golf-course equipment.

🌱 THE BIG ADVANTAGE?

A robotic mower isn't waiting until the lawn looks bad and then chopping several inches off.

It can mow frequently, removing small amounts of grass and keeping the property looking maintained virtually all the time.

For homeowners, that means getting your weekends back.

For landscapers and property managers, the interesting question is even bigger:

💰 How much labour could autonomous mowing save?

Instead of paying someone to sit on a mower for hours every week, your crew can concentrate on trimming, cleanup, landscaping and the work that actually requires a person.

⚠️ BUT THEY'RE NOT PERFECT

❌ Higher upfront cost than a conventional residential mower.

❌ Proper mapping and setup are important — this isn't something you want to rush.

❌ Heavy tree cover, buildings and other satellite obstructions can make positioning more challenging, although Kress uses dead reckoning to compensate for temporary signal loss.

❌ Obstacles, toys, branches and constantly changing job sites can still require attention.

❌ Smaller RTKⁿ models don't all have the same obstacle-avoidance hardware — model selection matters.

❌ They don't eliminate ALL lawn maintenance. Edges, trimming, cleanup and seasonal work still need attention.

❌ Commercial operators need to choose the mower based on the actual turf area, complexity, slopes and mowing schedule, not simply the total property acreage.

🏁 OUR TAKE

The most interesting thing about Kress RTKⁿ isn't simply that it's a robotic lawn mower.

It's the potential to change HOW WE MAINTAIN PROPERTY.

From approximately ¼ acre residential lawns to multi-acre commercial properties, there is an RTKⁿ machine designed for very different applications.
