Husqvarna Automower 550H EPOS Commercial Robotic Lawn Mower

High-Cut Commercial Robotic Mower with EPOS for Professional Turf

$4,999.99

The Husqvarna Automower® 550H EPOS® is a professional wire-free robotic lawn mower designed for commercial properties that require a higher cutting height, continuous autonomous mowing, and centralized fleet management.

The “H” stands for High-Cut. Unlike lower-cut commercial robotic mowers, the 550H EPOS provides an electronically adjustable 2–3.6 inch cutting-height range, making it especially well suited for turf varieties and commercial properties that perform better at taller mowing heights, including Tall Fescue, St. Augustine, and Bahia grass.

Built for professional fleet use, the 550H EPOS combines Husqvarna EPOS® wire-free RTK-GNSS positioning, selectable mowing patterns, virtual work areas, temporary stay-out zones, virtual transport paths, Husqvarna Fleet Services™, appDrive remote control, ultrasonic obstacle detection, warning lights, GPS theft tracking, and a five-blade commercial cutting system.

Husqvarna rates the mower for up to 1.25 acres in 24 hours or 2.5 acres in 48 hours, making it a strong choice for commercial campuses, schools, universities, parks, municipalities, healthcare facilities, resorts, HOA properties, and other professionally maintained green spaces.

Husqvarna Automower 550H EPOS at a Glance

Husqvarna’s current specifications confirm the 1.25-acre/24-hour and 2.5-acre/48-hour capacity, 10Ah battery, 200-minute mowing time, 60-minute charging time, 9.45-inch cut, and 2–3.6-inch high-cut range.

What Does the “H” Mean?

The H in 550H EPOS means High-Cut.

This is one of the most important reasons to choose this mower over lower-cut commercial models.

The 550H EPOS can be electronically adjusted from approximately:

2 Inches to 3.6 Inches

Husqvarna specifically identifies it as a strong fit for turf varieties that require higher mowing heights, including:

• Tall Fescue
• St. Augustine
• Bahia grass

That makes the 550H EPOS particularly interesting for many commercial properties in warm-season and transition-zone markets where maintaining turf at 2.5–3.5 inches may be preferred.

Up to 2.5 Acres of Commercial Coverage

Husqvarna provides two useful capacity ratings for the 550H EPOS:

Sports 24

Up to 1.25 acres in 24 hours

Standard 48

Up to 2.5 acres in 48 hours

The mower can cover approximately 0.075 acre per hour excluding charging time.

This makes the 550H EPOS suitable for:

• Schools
• Universities
• Parks
• Municipal properties
• Corporate campuses
• Hospitals
• Resorts
• HOAs
• Commercial landscapes
• Large institutional properties

For larger properties, multiple units can be deployed and managed together through Husqvarna Fleet Services.

Husqvarna EPOS® Wire-Free Technology

The 550H EPOS eliminates traditional perimeter wire.

Husqvarna’s Exact Positioning Operating System (EPOS®) uses satellite-based RTK-GNSS positioning to establish virtual boundaries with accuracy down to approximately 2 cm under suitable conditions.

Operators can create:

• Multiple work areas
• Virtual boundaries
• Temporary stay-out zones
• Virtual transport paths
• Different mowing schedules
• Different cutting heights
• Different mowing patterns

This provides substantially more flexibility than a permanent buried-wire installation.

EPOS Reference Station Required

The 550H EPOS requires a compatible Husqvarna EPOS reference station, which is not included with the mower.

Automation Hub can help determine the appropriate reference-station configuration based on:

• Property size
• Satellite visibility
• Buildings
• Trees
• Terrain
• Charging-station location
• Number of robotic mowers
• Future fleet expansion

For commercial installations, we recommend planning the entire site rather than treating the mower and reference station as separate purchases.

Selectable Professional Mowing Patterns

The 550H EPOS can mow in systematic patterns instead of producing the random appearance associated with older robotic mowing.

Husqvarna specifically identifies pattern options including:

• Parallel lines
• Diamonds
• Triangles
• Checkerboard

This gives professional grounds managers more control over the visual appearance of the turf.

Customized Work Areas

Different areas of a commercial property may require different maintenance strategies.

The 550H EPOS allows operators to configure separate work areas with individual settings such as:

• Cutting height
• Mowing schedule
• Mowing pattern

For example, a university could maintain a common lawn at one height while using different settings for another section of campus.

Temporary Stay-Out Zones

Commercial properties change constantly.

Operators can quickly create temporary stay-out zones through the connected system when part of the property should not be mowed.

Potential uses include:

• Seeding
• Turf repair
• Construction
• Outdoor events
• Irrigation work
• Temporary structures
• Damaged turf
• Areas undergoing recovery

When the restriction is no longer needed, the digital exclusion area can be removed without changing the physical installation.

Virtual Transport Paths

The 550H EPOS can use virtual transport paths to travel between separate mowing areas or return to its charging station without operating the cutting system.

Husqvarna specifically notes that these paths can cross areas such as:

• Driveways
• Walking paths
• Parking areas
• Non-mowing zones

This gives one mower the ability to service multiple nearby work zones without requiring manual transport every time.

5-Blade Commercial Cutting System

The 550H EPOS uses a commercial five-blade cutting disc, compared with the three-blade configuration commonly found on residential Automower models.

Its cutting system includes:

• 5 pivoting carbon-steel razor blades
• 9.45-inch cutting width
• 2–3.6-inch electric cutting height
• Skid plate
• Dual cutting direction

Husqvarna states the five-blade system provides a cleaner, faster cut on thicker commercial turf while leaving fine clippings behind as natural fertilizer.

200-Minute Runtime

The 550H EPOS uses a large 10Ah lithium-ion battery.

Husqvarna specifies:

Typical Mowing Time

200 minutes

Typical Charging Time

60 minutes

That long operating cycle is a major reason the 550H EPOS can efficiently cover commercial properties over a continuous 24- or 48-hour mowing schedule.

Handles Slopes Up to 45%

The 550H EPOS is rated for:

45% Slopes Inside the Installation

and:

15% at the Boundary

Large coarse-tread wheels provide traction on hilly and uneven commercial terrain.

Ultrasonic Obstacle Detection

The 550H EPOS uses ultrasonic collision sensors to detect obstacles ahead of the mower.

Husqvarna says the sensors allow the mower to reduce speed before impact, helping it navigate commercial environments more smoothly.

If the mower contacts an object, it can turn and continue operation.

Husqvarna Fleet Services™

The 550H EPOS is designed around professional remote management.

Through Husqvarna Fleet Services, operators can monitor and manage equipment from a:

• Smartphone
• Tablet
• Laptop

Supported fleet-management functions include:

• Start / stop
• Cutting-height adjustment
• Scheduling
• Battery monitoring
• Mower location
• Fleet status
• Firmware updates

This becomes especially valuable when an organization operates multiple robotic mowers across one or more properties.

Professional User Interface

The mower itself uses a simplified professional user interface.

Instead of requiring full local control through a large onboard display, most settings are managed remotely through Husqvarna Fleet Services.

The mower provides:

• LED status indication
• Start / stop controls

That reduces unnecessary local interaction and makes the system better suited to fleet operation.

appDrive Remote Control

The 550H EPOS can be manually driven from a smartphone using appDrive.

This can be useful for:

• Initial installation
• Moving between areas
• Driving onto a trailer
• Moving into a maintenance shed
• Repositioning the machine
• Service work

Husqvarna specifically highlights appDrive as a way to move the mower without having to carry the 34.6-lb machine.

Weather Timer

The 550H EPOS incorporates a Weather Timer that can adjust mowing activity based on grass growth.

When growth slows, mower activity can be reduced, helping decrease unnecessary wear on both the mower and the turf.

Built for 24/7 Commercial Operation

Husqvarna designed the 550H EPOS to operate throughout the growing season, including rainy conditions, with normal cleaning and maintenance.

Its free-hanging razor-blade cutting system allows the mower to continue producing a cutting result even when the turf is wet.

For commercial customers, this is important because autonomous mowing works best when the mower can take advantage of a broad operating window instead of waiting for a conventional crew schedule.

Warning Lights for Commercial Environments

The 550H EPOS includes integrated warning lights.

Pulsating or solid illumination helps increase visibility during nighttime operation.

This is particularly relevant for:

• Schools
• Universities
• Parks
• Municipal properties
• Hospitals
• Resorts
• Commercial campuses

FOTA – Firmware Over the Air

The mower supports FOTA – Firmware Over The Air through Husqvarna Fleet Services.

Supported firmware upgrades can be delivered remotely without requiring a physical connection to the mower.

That is especially useful for organizations managing several autonomous mowers.

Built-In Theft Protection

The 550H EPOS includes several connected security features:

• GPS theft tracking
• GeoFence
• PIN code
• Audible alarm
• Connected notifications

If the mower leaves its designated area, operators can receive notifications and track its location.

Safety & Collision Sensors

Husqvarna equips the mower with multiple safety systems.

If the mower is lifted or tilted, the cutting system shuts down.

Its cutting disc is positioned away from the outer edge of the mower body, and built-in collision sensors help the mower respond when obstacles are encountered.

Ideal Commercial Applications

Commercial Properties

The 550H EPOS is a strong fit for properties with larger turf areas that are maintained at higher cut heights.

Schools & Universities

Automate repetitive campus mowing while grounds crews focus on landscaping, athletic fields, irrigation, trimming and other skilled work.

Parks & Municipalities

Virtual work areas and temporary stay-out zones make it easier to adapt autonomous mowing around events, maintenance and seasonal changes.

Hospitals & Healthcare Campuses

Quiet autonomous mowing can reduce dependence on conventional gasoline equipment around large healthcare properties.

Resorts & Hospitality

The mower can work during lower-traffic periods while keeping high-visibility grounds consistently maintained.

HOAs & Large Residential Communities

The high-cut range is particularly useful where large common areas are maintained at conventional residential-style cutting heights.

550H EPOS vs. 560 EPOS

This is an important comparison because the models solve different commercial mowing problems.

The distinction is straightforward:

Choose the 550H EPOS when:

You need a higher 2–3.6 inch cutting range, long runtime, and proven commercial EPOS operation.

Choose the 560 EPOS when:

You want the newer professional platform, lower cutting heights, radar object detection, optional AI Vision, and slightly greater acreage capacity.

550H EPOS vs. 580 EPOS

For customers evaluating the broader commercial line:

Best for higher-cut commercial turf.

580 EPOS

Best for higher productivity and demanding, fast-growing turf with its larger capacity and powerful commercial cutting motor.

580L EPOS

Best for specialized low-cut golf and sports turf.

The correct mower should be selected based on:

• Required cut height
• Acreage
• Grass type
• Terrain
• Growth rate
• Mowing frequency
• Satellite visibility
• Desired autonomous operating window
