Kress Fleet

The Kress Fleet app for the my KR233 & KR236 mowers has come a long way, but a few persistent issues are still frustrating — especially when managing large, irregular areas. When you open the Schedule tab, it should default to the current day instead of requiring manual selection every time. Zone mapping and division remains a constant problem. Large, irregular areas often trigger map errors when dividing them into manageable zones. It can take 20–30 attempts to get a map accepted, and the app gives no explanation for why a particular division fails. Clearer error messaging and more reliable validation would save a huge amount of time. RTK signal performance is another weak spot in my area. The mowers frequently wander outside the boundaries and shut down after about 20 minutes. Kress should incorporate a recovery feature that many competitors already offer: the ability to draw a temporary “return path” or wandering route directly in the app to guide the mower back to a valid working boundary. My biggest issue, however, is the inability to run the mowers past 11:45 PM. It appears that at the midnight day changeover, the mowers lose their sense of direction and begin wandering outside the boundaries. As a result, I cannot schedule any mowing between 11:45 PM and 12:15 AM. Fixing this overnight rollover behavior would make a significant difference for maximizing productivity.
