Bermuda grass is dense, spreads by runners, and looks best kept short and mowed often. The MOVA LiDAX Ultra 2000 AWD cuts from 1.2 to 3.9 inches and grips with all-wheel drive, so it can hold the short, frequent schedule bermuda demands.
- Cut range: 1.2 to 3.9 inches, set from the app — its 1.2-inch floor lands inside the 1-to-2-inch band extension programs recommend for common bermuda.
- Traction: UltraDrive all-wheel drive runs four hub motors, with a rated maximum slope of 80% (38.6°) on dry, firm ground.
- Schedule: dual maps and up to 150 zones support the little-and-often mowing that keeps bermuda tight.

1. The cut height bermuda actually needs
University extension programs recommend mowing common bermudagrass at 1 to 2 inches with a rotary mower. Clemson's program suggests starting at 1.25 to 1.5 inches. The LiDAX Ultra 2000 AWD adjusts from 1.2 to 3.9 inches, so it holds the upper stretch of that band. Two honest limits: it cannot reach the band's 1-inch floor, and hybrid bermuda kept under 1 inch is reel-mower territory no rotary robot should promise.
2. Frequent cuts beat catch-up cuts
Turf guidance follows the one-third rule: never remove more than a third of the blade in one mow. Fast-growing bermuda breaks that rule quickly when mowing waits for the weekend. A robot that mows in short, repeated sessions keeps every cut inside the one-third rule. Dual maps and up to 150 zones let you schedule each part of the yard on its own rhythm.
3. Traction on dense, uneven warm-season turf
Thick bermuda builds a springy mat, and southern yards add heat-checked ruts and slopes. UltraDrive all-wheel drive runs four hub motors and is rated for a maximum slope of 80% (38.6°) on dry, firm ground. It clears vertical obstacles up to 2.4 inches. A 36V, 243Wh battery runs 150 to 170 minutes per charge, so output holds through dense growth instead of fading mid-yard.
4. A wide, clean pass — edges included
Two cutting discs — six blades each — cut a combined 15.8-inch width per pass. UltraTrim 2.0 edge cutting works the boundary line, so the strip along beds and walks needs less string-trimmer cleanup. Bermuda's runners creep past borders; regular edge passes keep that line crisp.
5. Setup without wire, mowing without babysitting
UltraView 3.0 maps the yard automatically with no boundary wire and no RTK base station. AI obstacle avoidance recognizes 300+ object types, from patio furniture to small yard items. You set zones and heights in the MOVAhome app and let the schedule run.
Need more than half an acre?
The LiDAX Ultra 2000 AWD is rated for 0.5 acre. For bigger warm-season lawns, the LiDAX Ultra 3000 AWD carries the same AWD platform to 0.75 acre.

FAQ
Q: Can a robot mower keep bermuda grass at the right height?
Yes, for common bermuda kept at 1.2 inches or taller. Extension programs recommend 1 to 2 inches; the LiDAX Ultra 2000 AWD covers that band from 1.2 inches up.
Q: Can it cut hybrid bermuda to putting-green height?
No. Cuts under 1 inch call for a reel mower. The LiDAX Ultra 2000 AWD bottoms out at 1.2 inches.
Q: Does thick bermuda slow it down?
The mower is built for dense turf: all-wheel drive traction, a 36V battery, and two cutting discs with a combined 15.8-inch width. Frequent scheduled mowing also keeps each session light.
Q: Does it need a boundary wire?
No. UltraView 3.0 maps the yard automatically, with no perimeter wire and no RTK base station.

MOVA accepts returns within 30 days of receipt for a full refund. Items must be unused and in original packaging.
