Fit uses Husqvarna's published overall width.
Work area is Husqvarna's own rated maximum, converted from the 2,400 m² they publish. A robot rated below your lawn will not keep up with it.
Maximum slope is 45%, which is about 24°. Makers quote one or the other; they are the same figure, and 45% is not 45°.
Husqvarna Automower 520 questions
How wide does the Husqvarna Automower 520 cut?
The Husqvarna Automower 520 cuts a 9-inch (240 mm) swath. A robot makes up for a narrow cut by working for hours at a time, so the figure to compare is its work area.
How much does the Husqvarna Automower 520 weigh?
The Husqvarna Automower 520 weighs 29 lb (13.3 kg) as specified by Husqvarna.
What size lawn can the Husqvarna Automower 520 handle?
Husqvarna rates the Husqvarna Automower 520 for up to 2,400 m² — about 25,833 sq ft, or 0.59 acres. That is the maximum area it is designed to keep cut, not the area it mows in one run; a robot rated below your lawn will fall behind it.
What slope can the Husqvarna Automower 520 climb?
The Husqvarna Automower 520 is rated for slopes up to 45%, which is about 24°. Manufacturers quote one or the other and they describe the same grade — 45% is not 45°. Steeper ground than this risks the wheels slipping.
