The way I see it, if you can afford that mower, you can probably afford a gardener. It's a fun novelty item. Enjoyed the demo anyway.
Very TRU
12 hours of 240V would get expensive I would think.🇺🇸🙏
Not to mention all the blackouts from everyone charging their electric crap.
Speaking of Stone, did you ever let us all know what the total stone spend was for 2023? I must have missed it if you did, Thanks for all the videos - from an old man watching from his easy chair.
Myself and others have asked also. To my knowledge it hasn’t been answered 😏
Nice mower, but even a busy mowing company couldn't afford it. It's nice to see someone use One to demonstrate it.
The biggest question anyone should ask when looking at electric vehicles is how many years will the battery last & how much does it cost?
Beat me to it! That's my big worry. You hear horror stories from people buying second hand EVs. Even Tesla don't extend the battery warranty when you buy used. It's not for me
Naw skipped all the mower commercial. Went straight to the excavator. lol pretty good video.
On the EV zero turn, I assume instead of a $50 spindle replacement cost you're looking at $500 direct drive motor replacement. I'm afraid to estimate battery replacement.
I have the Xmark with a 60" deck, similar to the one you used to run, I am cutting about 4.5 acres. I bought it about 6 years ago and I have to tell you, I just love it. Previously I cut with a garden tractor, this thing cuts the mow time in half. So far I'm not a fan of the battery powered stuff, small hand tools yeah, but not vehicles and mowers. Maybe some day?? Have a day!! Jay from Pa.
I'm 60, and growing up reading Popular Science and Popular Mechanics magazines. Over and over, the magazines talked about Flying Cars are our future. Nodda!
So your comments on the quick reactions of a Zero turn are spot on. I used to cut 2 acres of grass in the deep south and have used lawn tractors, garden tractors and zero turns. If you want time to think while you are cutting; use the tractors. If you need speed; use the zero turn, but forget about thinking; as you found out; that can put you in the trees very quickly.
The biggest challenge will be the cost of replacing the battery.
Judging by the cost of a Tesla it could be very steep.
Unlikely to ever have to replace the battery given Still's reputation for quality.
@@philipallen8648 Hang onto that thought
It's not unusual for Teslas to go 400,000 miles on their batteries without any problems.
@@philipallen8648 I've heard that STIHL is pretty decent as well
That is an awesome mower but at $25,000 I’ll take a hard pass!
Well, i have a commercial series JD mower 72" and it was pretty much the same price. Honestly, the battery mower is pretty cool, but i'd still take my gas powered JD mower over it, especially seeing how i'm mowing around 5-6 acres with it around the farm.
Id rather get a tractor and 3 implements for $25000
Some folks have more money than they need. God Bless them
Not in my lifetime 😊😊
No joke!
I have no need for a mower like that but i am interested in hearing what you have to say about it. It just amazes me how far battery powered anything has came. I remember being out at night catching night crawlers and packing my dads big 6v light. It was one of them that you mounted the battery to the head/handle. It was top of the line then but compared to today’s flashlight, it was horrible. And i wouldnt trade my dewalt power tools for corded tools for any reason. Anyway, stay safe everybody
You need to watch a UA-cam video on how navy ships refuel at sea. UNREP for Underway Replenishment. The navy uses M-14,rifles to shot a plastic line about 1/8” diameter across 100-150’ span for use as a messenger line to pull progressively larger lines across the span between to ships. They sell small rifle type guns for arborist to shot a line over limbs of large trees, they are CHEAP & would be useful to you for the amount of trees you cut down.
If you tore that one down and built a new one with today's treated lumber you can expect it to be rotten in about half the time. Clean it up and stain it if you want to keep a play area for the grandkids.
OR it could re-purposed into another stand out in the enviorns.
Im late to the show but made it. That stihl mower is wicked fast. I suppose there's folks out there that it would suit perfect. It would be the perfect mower for California and other states with all the red tape. Hope everyone had a great day. Be safe,take care and we'll see you down the road.....thanks.
Well, that battery mower seems very nice. Like you said, it would fit perfectly for some people. There's a guy in my neighborhood who mows for people. He has a zero turn yellow mower. I've not seen it up close, but when he mows my neighbors yard near their drive, his mower sets of my car alarm. Sometimes just the bump notice, but it has set the siren off several times. You can hear that mower blocks away!! The battery mower would be a blessing in a tight nit development.I am stunned you had two dead trees so close. Glad you got them down before the wind dropped them on something. Nice video today Mike. Thank you.👍🚜❤️🙏🇺🇲🇺🇲
Mike, just like Tesla. How much is the battery replacement cost?
i have a Toro Z4200 that i bought new 16 years ago from H D for 2,400 bucks and it still looks and runs like new. i use it 30 minutes a week all year long in florida. i spend 50 bucks a year on new oil, filters, blades. it costs me about 1.50 in gas per week . i can't even imagine how much my electric bill would go up with an electric mower per month, just a big old heat sink is all they are.
Several years ago, one company had their electric zero turn catch fire at the Equip Expo in the outside demo area. I think the fire department just covered it with dirt. I purchased an electric Ryobi push mower this year to mow a ditch at my home. It’s lite, 40 volts, and last for 45 minutes. It does that job easily. I am still not sure about using them in my mowing business. I am still a gas fan.
I saw the video on that. As I understand it, the company beside them dug a hole with their mini excavator or backhoe and pushed it in and covered it. fire department could not put the fire out. That's a scary thought having this parked in a garage charging overnight.
Yes that was Dewalt they had to dig a hole and push it into and cover it up to put it out nothing wrong with the battery technology but the long term cost is not worth it 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Mike, Good morning.
You can bet your last dollar that if it will run 16mph then some commercial cutting operation will sure as hell give it there all. Lots of these guys will cut during and immediately after a storm. Looks more like they missed 1/2 the grass or just knocked it down. To hell with the quality of cut.
This is a neat mower, but I'm seeing a price of around $25,000 😱😱😱. God bless the folks who NEED the latest and greatest of every tool ever created. Enjoy playing with this and be careful.
Informative video. 😊
Fifty years ago there were many human powered rotary mowers still in action.
Hi Mike, I am an electrical engineer, ret. I agree that batteries have their place in certain applications. This may be one of those. With that said, there are other considerations when it comes to Li power. They are initial cost, battery life, battery replacement cost, and safety. NEVER store or charge that machine in any building you couldn't afford to lose. Lithium fires aren't easily extinguished. With regard to zero turn mowers, I've had a Grasshopper diesel for fifteen years. I love it. I'll be interested to see further results. Thanks for the initial review. Shalom/gw. PS. Mowers with a light duty cycle? Maybe! But battle tanks, and other heavy equipment? Not yet! Personally, I long for zero point energy. 😊
I also have had Grasshopper diesels for decades, absolutely the best I've ever used ! They can keep the battery junk. Simply wont last that long .😊
Wow Mike! I checked the price. NORTH OF 27 GRAND. YIKES!
I have a stihl battery powered push mower. I have no issues with it at all. No maintenance other then cleaning the deck and sharpening the blade. Would it work for everyone....not a chance. My subdivision lot....absolutely
@googleboy7
Yeah at that price and the price of EV's we all need to get in with the Biden clan and do some money laundering. Hunter & Braindead Joey can hook us all up real nice like.
I would think they are using LiFePo which aren’t nearly as fiery. But I agree with you. I have 135KW of batteries in semi-sacrificial shed (along with battery and line inverters).
What are we going to do with all the batteries from all this cordless stuff? I really have a hard time believing its a greener power source.
It's not and eventually we'll all die from battery fires in our homes.
It's just another way the democrats will thin the heard.
After owning a zero turn mower I would never go back to a lawn tractor. The Scag mower not sure which one but it has a 2 speed transmission and it flies.
Loved the Jetsons. Had no idea they only made episodes for a year and a half. Thanks for the info. Love this channel!
I too loved the jetsons
I watched it every Saturday morning! I too am bummed out that we don't have the flying cars!!!
There are flying cars, the U.S. won't allow them !
I bought a 54” bad boy lawnmower a little over 2 years ago. It takes me 3 to 3 1/2 hours to mow my yard and the top of my pond dam. I learned very quickly that zero turn mowers do not do well on slopes. The front wheels tend to want to run down the slope.
You should look back and see if you have a picture of the kids all on the playset as little ones. Then take a photo of them today with Eva in the background. Kind of a thought only for the future. Just a fun thought
Goodmorning Morgan's from BUCKS COUNTY pa. Another fine day on the eastern side. Have a day everyone.
Battery powered tools, Mike I just upgraded my 50+ year old B&S gas mower to a RYOBI 40 Volt battery mower and I am amazed with it. I don't cut a big yard but am happy with this tool.
I thought that slide was a goner.😂
Several time a day I say… “what could possibly go wrong!” 😂
After running it 6 hours how much would it cost to fully charge it back up
As experienced as you are cutting trees, the unexpected could happen unexpectedly. This was a good safety reminder.
50 years ago my grandfather had an electric garden tractor type mower. No idea the brand. I believe it used golf cart 6v batteries. He always had the newest exotic stuff, drove a saab when everyone else had ramblers.
... probably a GE (General Electric) threes a couple here in Ohio I see at the vintage tractor shows ..!
@@_Boregard_Rippy_wheelhorse made a model back in the day aswell. Can't remember the model, probably similar to the one you speak of.
Did he wear black turtlenecks too? (That’s a Top Gear reference).
+ About that play thingi , it could be used as a helper in handling ‘cut; and loading the fire wood splitters so you’d come off the machine carrying the whole logs ; to climbing that thing with your chain saw ; cutting the logs starting from the top one ( loaded last by the way ) ; cut pieces will slide down that yellow thingi feeding the splitter’ platform …
a) Moving yellow slide to left side ( its bottom resting on splitter platform ) .
b) In its place building a set of steps to come down one step one log cut at a time .
c) Building a rack for about half a dozen of logs that you load singularly using the machine .
d) After loading logs get off machine ; climb old steps bringing saw with you .
e) When on top ; cut top log letting cut pieces drop on yellow slide onto splitter platform .
f) Finished first log ; start second from far right … so on .
g) Come down start splitting ……… so on .
+ Logs will feed themselves to the right position to be cut if you make its right side higher and use rollers .
Have mowed lawns for a living for the last 30 years always resisted zero turn but now that I have one would never go back to a conventional mower very quick on big lawns
My old gas rider finally rusted away so I put it on the curb and while searching the web I stumbled across a $1k rebate off a 30" craftsman electric rider. Talked to the wife and we agreed to get it. I didn't need a huge mower, the last one was a 48", so this one is fine. I don't have a huge lot. Anyway, one warning that was in bold letters in the manual was don't wash out the bottom side of the mowing deck, due to the electric blade motor.
So dirt and grass will build up under the deck then ?? hmmm
When I saw that small rope being used to pull that three down, I wondered "What was Mike thinking!".
And then you explained what happened.
Yeah, I would not have been narrating too much at that moment either! 😁
Tree work, especially DEAD TREE work, is not as easy as it appears.
Danger can be lurking any where, and EVERYWHERE!
Good job on getting that tree down!
You sure came close to "breaking in" the new trailer! 😲🤣
For the price of replacement batteries, you can buy gas for a lifetime not counting the wasted time charging batteries. Overnight charging?
We have a bobcat commercial zero turn for basically trim work and a couple of small areas and a 7' finish mower on the back of a ford 3910 tractor.
Zero turns are hard on the back and the tractor is great on my back. Electric v fossil fuel never for me, electric is exspensive, repairs are more exspensive, and how much electric do you use in a 24 hrs charging. Nothing electric will replace fossil fuel equipment for a long time. But to each their own!.
Great job Mike taking the trees down!.
The shed I store my lawn mower does not have electrical power source. I assume I would need to either use an extension cord or have power routed to the shed for recharging.
Mike, I don’t think you get enough credit for your camera and editing prowess..nice job!!!
ALL I REMEMBER FROM HIGH SCHOOL GEOMETRY WAS IT WAS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT PIE ARE SQUARE
which is ridiculous because,everyone know pIes ARE ROUND
Good Morning Morgan's from the land of Paradise! I am not crazy about zero turns . I find them rather fiddly ! However I surmise the price is what I really won't like ! At a little over $27,000.00 bucks ,yeah I would need to mow a lot of grass !!
26k, for the battery models from Stihl, that's a gaggle of deniro Mike
Just a drop in the bucket for some. Not me
It's just Nutz! Totally Dez Nutz
Thanks for bringing this mower to my attention. I've been eyeing up the zero-turn mower offerings from other battery platform manufacturers for a couple years now. I didn't realize Stihl had climbed onboard.
When I was a kid, I was cutting grass with a push battery powered mower, and a riding mower with forklift motor. Light brush did not slow them down, they were great, very smooth. My dad built these mowers out of odds and ends. In the early 70's you could not get gas even if you had the money, so clever people like my dad came up with other ways. He built a car to get to work, it was featured in Hemmings the article Shock Therapy.
I traded my tractor for one, Hustler Raptor 52” 23hp Kawasaki. Love the maneuverability, but if you have grades , dry grass and up and down mowing or you will end up over the hill!
I bought a Badboy zero turn from my son. It too was one of the first models. They make them about 30 miles from me. After I worked som bugs out I only have 1 problem with the Badboy. It has been corrected at the factory I am told. The motor is too much for the drive tire speed. It leaves skid marks in the turf. Out here on the farm it really doesn’t matter. In a nice yard with zoysia in the landscaping it would not be cool. I would love to be using a battery Stihl zero turn but at the price point I will be driving a cybertruck first.
Love the channel, thanks for your time Mike, but I will very gladly pass on the hard push from the current administration to make all electric. I'll keep my diesel Truck and gas powered lawn equipment. I'm a Journeyman power lineman. Trust me I see the potential in overtime this mess is going to bring, but no thanks, I'll make over time another way.
Cutting an acre once a week in our neck of the woods, how many years will the battery last? Cost of replacement battery?
i BOUGHT AN ELECTRIC WEED EATER 2 YRS AGO $250 WITH 2 BATTERIES. ONE IS GONE WILL NOT TAKE A CHARGE, REPLACEMENT BATTERY $199. LOL I GOT TAKEN. WE ARE NOT SAVING THE WORLD WITH THIS CRAP, WE ARE MAKING SOME COMPANY RICH.
@@jimputnam2044
I too was fooled. Shakespeare trolling motor for a small boat. Battery powered. Seemed like a great idea at the time.
@@jimputnam2044 ELECTRIC WEED EATER is also heavier than an electric one ! I picked one up to check the weight and my arm/back wouldn't last long.
$27000.... you would need to be loaded to afford this thing.
Or have a succesfull youtube channel with some good sponsorship and partners.
Or be a professional mower in Beverly Hills where people will pay for/require no gas mower.
I have a Ryobi electric ZTR. I love the idea of low noise, no gas, no oil, no filters, no belts etc. However the mower is junk, it arrived broken and been down hill ever since, roughest thing I have ever ridden, blades made from sheet metal, battery life about half of advertised now a defective motor controller. Once they get them 'perfected battery mowers will definitely replace gas except for maybe commercial users.
You had me going with that second dead tree, i heard the cracking and was wondering if, when, maybe, hit the slide, etc., but it came down perfect, great job Mike!!
A second thought. If you run power out to your Road to Nowhere clearing, put the cabling on low posts, maybe with rails between the posts, rather than bury it. Easier an accessible.
When they put my lane in back bout 40 years ago they dug down a good 12 inches or more
then put in pretty large stone
about the size of your fist
then the small on top
Lots of guys here now use the reclaimed black top that has been crushed up
Regarding great playhouses…
Check out the one Jason Hobbs of Bourbon Moth built last summer.
I tried running a zero turn 1 time. I think I could get used to it and like it but , my wife who loves to mow, would never get used to it so we’ll just stay with tractor type mowers. We don’t have that much to mow any way…. I sure could use you and your excavator to clean up storm damage here. I’ve got 2 tree tops on my garage and part of a tree on my mom’s roof. I don’t think there’s much building damage but getting someone to come do it is impossible right now as there are tree’s down everywhere and some building damage
My Bad Boy has receiver hitches front and rear. I occasionally tow a 5x7 trailer . The front receiver has a clevis in it.
Hi Mike. I knew eventually. The battery powered mowers would be available. I saw the battery powered cars. I said: It won't be long. Other gas engines will be battery powered. You got very lucky. With your 1st tree. WHISTLE! Some trees play " games" w/ loggers. I had a 9 inch apple tree very close to my nose. I felt the breeze on my nose as it fell! 😱😱😱😲😲😲😳😳😳🙄🙄🙄😬😬😬😑😑😑 I've been lucky all my 37 yrs of firewood logging. Thanks Mike. Say Hi to Melissa, Eva, & Hunter. 😍😊😉👍❤️💜🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Mike i know you like that mower but who can spend $27000 on a lawnmower?
Are you kidding me? 27,000?
@@rodbagley1686 look them up
Believe you demonstrated three blade tip speed ranges, assuming the highest speed range is to allow "teens mph" ground speed! Most internal engine mower tip speed is in the range of 200 mph. Obviously ground speed requires tip speed! Found the info on the new mower quite interesting, not surprised but had not idea such a tool existed! Thanks
That mower is very capable but quite a bit of money. As municipalities start with noise ordinance maybe these electric machines will become a necessity. Also, I loved the Jettson's and imagined the same things you were talking about. Have a great day :)
... Ms Melissa is correct again ..!... nobody's ever wrote a song about a zero-turn mower ...!!!
Good stuff Mike, thanks. We call gentle rains "soft rain." 🤗
From the title I thought for sure it would involve brush hogging (rotary cutter) and a fawn. Got to watch out for those fawns this time of year. Glad you got those widow makers down safely.
Oh dear or I should oh deer that would be awful
@@Morgansunleashed I have a cherished painting of my mom holding a three legged fawn. We nursed it back to health.
I could see the blade speed being useful for going over very dry/sandy spots or areas recently overseeded where you want less lift but still cut. Wouldn’t mind that on my Walker c19 TBH.
I'm twenty years older then you but here's another (I believe) good lesson. I've never seen a winch that would keep up speed with a falling tree. You already know an excavator will do anything you want with a tree if one possess the skill.
I purchased a battery powered zero turn last year. I love the fact it is extremely quiet, there are no awful fumes, and no oil to change. I do sometimes miss just being able to throw more gas in and keep going. All and all I am pretty happy with it and it works well to mow two residential lawns of about 1.5 acres between my lawn and my MIL's lawn.
If your worrying about the fumes then you were doing something wrong
@Indomitus_Prime lol, I'm not saving the world. I'm buying a piece of equipment that works well for my situation. Also, electric cars do reduce emissions in the long run. They destroy the environment with the mining required though. Oh and I work for a company that builds diesel engines, so I have no reason to "go green" for liberal good boy points.
@tonylee997 you have found a magic internal combustion engine that creates zero fumes? You running a hydrogen lawn mower? If you would get off your riding lawn mower, and go directly to a dinner out, then perhaps you should consult an ENT as you have lost your ability to smell. I have run everything up to commercial grade mowers. They still stink. It's fine if you have time to change and shower afterwards but most times I find to mow, it is in between work, kid's sports, and other obligations. It's nice to hop on, mow, hop off, go, without being the guy everyone smells.
Aww, fumes getting to u. ?? 😅
Here is an idea you may not have considered. If I had your gear and wanted to remove stumps, I would try using the excavator with splitter to split the stumps in the ground two ways crosswise into four pieces. The excavator w thumb may well be able to yank each quarter directly out of the ground since each piece would be well anchored on only one side. Digging a huge pit would be eliminated as well as refillling the pit. An extra advantage would be that on a burnpile, 4 pieces would burn a better than an unquartered full stump. I would love to see you try it!
It might be worth putting a slight curve away from the oak tree when you put that road in. Driving over the roots slightly less would be better if you are planning on keeping the tree.
If people would understand that a zero turn mower is just like driving a grocery cart to turn left, pull with left hand push with right, opposite for right turn
Just googled price for the Stihl zero turns; battery and gas..that is more than I pay for good used cars and trucks. I have stihl saws and blowers and a trimmer, going to add a tree top/limbing saw this summer....those are all quite affordable. Guess I will keep using my 35 year old Honda HR214 21" self propelled walk behind. Lol The exercise is good for me since I hit the 3/4 century mark next month.
I relate to what you said here Mike, when I was about 6, I was also convinced we would be flying around in flying saucers when I was older and that there would also be flying cars. That Stihl mower looks awesome and with zero vibrations is better for your body long term, not to mention better for the environment. I was convinced you were going to drop that last tree onto the children's slide, but I was wrong a perfect fall.
No suspension?
1,607 lbs.
They wouldn't be so bad if the battery would last as long as a gas motor with those you will have to replace the motors and the batterys plus it is just not going to last and if it goes dead you can't haul electric ⚡⚡ to it but God Bless Y'all and have a great day 🙏🙏
Zero turn are a good fit for a "pro" that does lawn care but perosonally I try to avoide single taskers. I had an acre yard to mow for a while and used a lawn tractor and I am sure a zero would be faster but my lawn tractor could be used for other jobs. Just me.
Man this video was kind of all over the place! When you were 7, I was 8 and ZTRs like you see most today I don't believe existed. I think the machines back then had the deck out front and the rear wheels turned like a forklift.
True story! I put a battery in my truck yesterday and it was $415. I put the same battery in my boat 3 years ago for $159.
Five years ago I put a spindle on my sisters ZTR $29 maybe. Could be JoeBama like everything else going up, I don't know, but I guarantee prices will never come down. I'm going to guesstimate an electric STIHL blade motor in the hundreds and the motor that runs the machine in the thousands. Same with the battery. I bet the 22 hours of 220 juice is a lot more $$$ than the 4 or 5 gallons max I can run my 27 hp Kawasaki liquid cooled Gravely. I will have to pass.
At 58 I am already being priced out of too many things! I wonder if anyone has a video of a Tesla and an electric ZTR side by side both on fire with the firemen standing there just letting them burn out since they burn so hot the only thing that will put the fire out is dirt! Seriously, there is a video of a woman that backed her Tesla into a lake and it was under water on fire!
How did I miss you still having the Jeep? I thought that was gone after the Bronco came. Do you have a dealers license? lol
Always remember that battery powered things are great while the batteries are new. As those batteries age they lose capacity and performance. For instance the Milwaukee M-18 tools are awesome but the batteries begin to last less and less longer as they are used and recharged. These are roughly a hundred bucks a pop. I cant imagine how much it would be to replace a battery pack on a 25,000 mower. The more "they" try to push electric this and that the more I love my gas and diesel mowers, trucks, cars. Power tools is a 50/50 split. Some real power hogging tools like table saws, etc need to be corded not battery powered. Mowers too unless you only have 2 or less acres to deal with. Can you imagine missing a week due to rain or vacation then expecting to knock out 2 acres of 10-12 tall grass on battery power ?
last summer was my first experience with zero turn
they are not good on a side hill
at all we have several JD mowers one is outstanding on the hill areas
approximately 14 acres mobile home/ RV Park 🏞️
first time my legs hurt from staining lol lol took time to learn how to relax
only objects is hard to go under lower trees and brush you need both hands to keep in control and tire spin and damage to turf even when making wide turn soil base is on sandy side
In case I missed it, here is the price....$27,499.00
Who cares
@@daveklein2826 Anyone interested in buying one. Why the silly question?
For Melissa I would recommend Cub Cadet Ultima ZTS and ZTXS Zero-turn Mower feature Synchro-Steer Steering Wheels. The steering wheel really made the difference for my wife.
We love ours, we got the zts2…looking to upgrade next spring. Like you my wife loves it as well.
Yes! I like this recommendation
Yes the cub cadet with the steering wheel is great on my hilly property
Absolutely Dave…no problem running mine on slightly steeper hills. Having control over the front tires is a game changer on my property.
The thing about flying 🚗 cars...the majority,9 out of 10 airborne accidents would result in fatalities. And as you can imagine, people buzzing around up in the air without a pilot license ? People Neglecting the maintenance schedule ? You think insurance is high now ? 😂🤣 Like the 🎵 song from Blood, Sweat and Tears ..."Spinning Wheel"...What goes up...Must come down.

Everyone one needs a lucky day 🎉 love the way you planted the road 😊 you will like the little extra detail on the edge will be time well spent ❤ thanks for sharing.
QUESTION: What type of grass do you have in your lawn, thanks. Tim in northern TN
The attachments are already out. Things like thatchers and seeders and the like. I mow commercial. Tires are the most important thing on zero turn. I mow hills almost vertical with a 72” mostly. The longevity is a deciding factor. Mine has 1800 hrs and still going strong. Blade sharpness and balance is another key to a smooth ride. I can actually hear if my blades get dull
Mike , the Jetson flying car was expected to be a reality by 2020. Oh well, guess i will suffer the traffic on i95 in SW Ct for an another decade or so.
I would love a mower like that, but at 27k I think I'll stick with my Toro
If your Barn is in a separate meter check how long it takes and how many KWH and cost in your area when you charge it
We had a local guy roll a zero turn over this week and ended up killing him. I can't say for sure, but I would imagine he was not using the safety features on it. Be careful out there.
If you like ev mover, I was a EVBronco on a car lot in Altoona. The sticker was $94,445
remember those back pacs in comic book adds that could make you fly I used to really want one of those so I could be like a super hero , the good old days
Military has them.
Tore up my Bush Hog, considering a Zero Turn instead of replacing it for our 5 acres.
I love 2's or 3's toped with 57's(3/4 to dust). I have done it on dirt and on Geotexttile. Both times you get a rock solid platform. I have always felt that I use less on the geotextile overall. Because once it's rocked it's rocked unless tou habe flooding that washes it away. On dirt no matter how solid of a layer I get it always slowly pushes down.
Great video Mike... Have a great week... catch you on Thursday..
Nice video, everything is coming together in good fashion. That Zero turn battery mover is quite fast, like when Joe Rogan drove a Tesla he bought scared him it was so FAST> Your 100% right on the excavator, it is probably the most versatile, handy, useable piece of equipment you have, your can do just about everything with it. Tilt bucket adds another dimension, it's a game changer; and your work it like a hand in glove Mike.. thanks for bringing us along -
One thing you need to get used to with one of those electric lawn mowers when you're done using it plug it in it doesn't matter if the battery is at 73% like it is of currently. Plug it in after the end of every use and when you come out to it it's at 100% state of charge it doesn't take much time to charge from 73% to 100% you never want to totally deplete the battery it'll work against you. Keep it topped off daily. That's what people don't understand about Teslas you can keep a Tesla topped off if all you're doing is driving 30 mi a day with a 110 outlet plug it in every night.
I mow 10 acres and I love my 72” 40hp zero turn. I have no desire whatsoever to buy a battery powered mower. Mike, I’m glad you got those 2 dead trees down without too much trouble. Dead trees can be tricky and very dangerous, that’s for sure.
The Jetson one is production now Mike , a u tube search will show you some vids ... has everything but the wheels lol .
