![Ryobi Zero turn vs Tractor [face off]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/GLD5b9cdZbc/mqdefault.jpg)
I am loyal Toro Timemaster fan but I am 56. I am in great shape and I love cutting my .65 acre lawn every 5-7 days but Hart's rider is just what I was looking for as a backup for the future. Cub Cadet has a similar rear engine gas and battery but the Hart just seems better built though the Cub Cadet looks cooler.
Regardless, Hart/Ryobi did a great job with this mower.
Been using an electric lawn tractor for 5 years now and do not miss the fumes and dust and noise from the old days. Great invention!! Hart looks like a good option!
When I first saw pictures of this I thought it was a joke, but for the person with a smaller yard and lacking the endurance to use a walk-behind mower this looks like a very nice solution.
How much is the cost?
Or you just don't want to spend all your time off work cutting the grass.
This would be perfect for the granny with a little yard.
Currently $3000 at Walmart
This is the only ride-on this small to have lithium ion batteries, the rest are lead-acid.
Cub Cadet cc30e is li ion as well, about the same price.
Awesome review! Thank you for joining us in SC!
Has HART considered how potential customers are supposed to store it during the winter, given that the batteries are not removable?
There is degradation and worse, outright damage that can come from low temperatures, even when stored in a shed or garage. Winter storage of lithium ion batteries is a normal practice, which cannot be done when the batteries are not removable in such large devices.
@@deuswulf6193 Hi there! Our manual goes over proper storage conditions for the mower/battery.
im so glad to see electric lawn equipment become as good as gas so i don't have to hear the deafening sound anymore hopefully one day anyway
Very nice! You mentioned what we would like to see. I don’t think either is available quite yet, but I’m debating between the Toro Attachment series, and the Echo DPAS series Trimmer/Edgers. I currently have the Toro 60V mower and blower, so I’m invested in that battery platform, but I also have several Echo PAS attachments that will work on the new Echo platform. Thank you!
What’s the difference between the blades that come on the unit already assembled. And those in the bagger kit? I just assembled and I’m ready to mow . I just assumed it was an extra set. But now I am not sure
I'm giving you a thumbs up for your review. Let me ask you, I'm looking for a rear engine mower that runs about $2000 give or take. May I have your recommendation since you know your stuff. Thanks a lot.
They are going to have to lower the price considerably to compete with the 56v Cub Cadet 30" riding mower sold at Home Depot for a price of $2400.
That has a lead acid battery
You tell him JB
Just looked at it and it’s $3599
Does anyone that has a Hart know how long the battery/ies last?
Does the charger plug into a standard 110 outlet?
how dose it handles hills in the high country these electric mowers really go down because of the struggle it may have on steep hills
I plan on purchasing this mower. I have been using Hart tools for years. I was wandering the weight of mower. Can't find it listed.
what is the basic warranty and who can service their mower? What is suggested retail price?
Does hart have a 20 volt battery powered riding lawn mower
Electric lithium riding mower is the way to go. It's my fourth year in my Weibang 72volt e-rider and I still love it that I cut every week since I don't need to buy gas and it's quiet. If I don't have one yet I'll go for Hart cause it's a big upgrade, 80 volt and quick charge. I let my battery cool off for at least an hour or two before I charge it. It's still letting me cut the front and the back of my yard with ample battery left. I tackle uphill frontal not sideways and I don't have a problem. I am not a fan of joystick Ryobi zero turn lithium, and I read it's not good for hilly yard, but if they make a lithium with steering wheel or zero turn but not joystick then I will also consider. I just want to control the speed of the mower with my foot instead of the joystick, plus holding the steering wheel give me more security than just holding a joystick I might be ejected on a not so perfect yard. Thanks for the vid.
how do they do going up hill and also how about pulling small loads with a trailer like a sprayer
With the Hart 80 you definitely will be able to control the speed with your foot. I used the mower the same day I received it!
Hmm in terms of distance and time, what's the runtime and how far can it go, mileage wise
I want to know now about the reliability of this machine. Where can I find any feedback?
Would you recommend for hilly terrain? Like in the mountain state of wv?
No. it is basically one wheel drive. A flat or small incline is perfect.
How long can you expect the batteries to last, are they covered under the warranty? How much is a replacement battery? Where are they located and can they be replaced easily. What is the maximum forward speed? Does the deck come off and go back on easily. I would like to use one primarily to tow a fishing cart onto long fishing piers since I am disabled.
That's what I want to know...replacement battery cost?
I just finished my first full mow with my old self propelled walk behind. Not even hot out.
I'm seriously shopping for a small rider. If this has a good price point-SOLD!. by the way can it be stood on end? Looks like it can.
I saw it at 3k??????
What are the cost of replacement batteries?
what kinda weight limit?
Is it really $3k idk if thats alot for a electric riding mower
Release date is May 1st.
Price: Its been claimed by some reviewers that the MSRP $3,900.00 (too high given Ryobi's new 0 turn, with removeable batteries is the same price)
Batteries are NOT removable/replaceable (This is concerning).
On that note: Ryobi has some very interesting models coming out next month as well. They went full 0 turn using a joystick control scheme.
The current Craftsman lithium ion version of this type of mower is junk, and the older Ryobi models use lead acid battery packs, which can possibly be swapped out for lithium ion batteries. The cost wouldn't be cheap though.
Price has to come WAY DOWN for me to even consider something like this.
I agree price is too high for not being a zero turn
@@MidniteSon Looks like they reacted to a lack of sales and lowered the price to $3400, still a bit high tbh.
As of 6/15, Ryobi STILL has not released theirs, and have raised the price by $500 on each size! ($4500 for the 30” size.) Also, they are not forthcoming with any reasons for the delay or the price increase. (Trust me, I’ve tried!) I assume you realize that Hart is a ‘sister’ company of Ryobi under the same parent comany, TTI…
@@waynebinder8547 Yup, the 80v batteries in the Hart are identical to the Ryobi as well. Seems like neither Hart nor Ryobi (under TTI) want to admit that.
Since the Hart is basically a rebranded version of Ryobi's last gen model with their 80v system installed, it makes more sense to just grab that for $3400 over the mobility scooter Ryobi at $4500, assuming one is aiming for the 30".
In fact I'm getting pretty close to just grabbing the Hart as an off brand Ryobi while it only cost $3400. Still high, but I'm done with gas and the other brand electrics are largely out of stock these days, at least for my area.
5-Year Warranty
All HART 40V Outdoor Tools are covered by a 5-year limited warranty. All HART 40V Batteries are covered by a 3-year limited warranty. Click on the link below for specific warranty details.
Nice one, wish EGO would have one!
They do. It's called the Z6 and it uses 6 of their 56v battery packs. Retails for around $5500.
@@deuswulf6193 As the other guy said, wish Ego had one. The Z6 is 42in and 5k. We want a 30in non zero turn for much less than 5k.
@@danyeo At that point and with the criteria of it being cheaper, 30", and non-zero turn, just get the Hart. It is literally a white and black Ryobi (same company behind both), which cost roughly $3k.
EGO probably won't fight for the 30" deck, non zero turn market, which itself is already niche. Most people prefer 42" over 30", just you have to pay a stupid premium for that slightly bigger deck.
Great concept, but to preserve the batteries, I want them to be easily removable for climate controlled charging and storage.
I wanted to buy this mower but then I saw the Ryobi 80v 10amp replacement batteries are $900 apiece!
How much does this riding lawn mover cost
Kool! Cost?
Apparently they won't tell us until it comes out May 1st.
Just bought this mower. Battery will not charge. It's Friday. Customer support will not open til Monday morning. Can anybody help me get this machine from a big paperweight to a riding mower?
Check to make sure battery packs under the seat are plugged in with the loose floating cable inside, check to see if that cable is not getting power from the charging port. Check to see if the wall mounted battery charger lights up when plugged in. Your problem can probably be narrowed down to one of those three.
@@deuswulf6193 I figured it out. But your reply was spot on. Thanks. I am very happy with this purchase.
The longevity and the cost of the batteries is what concerns me oh, can you reviews that please
The only question you can ask is regarding longevity, as the batteries are built in and not replaceable.
Looks like a motorized wheelchair with blades
😂
That sounds freaking awesome!
I just purchased one. How do you clean the deck and blades?
Perfect for the trash
Cost?
$3900
Why are ALL reviews 11 months old? Where are current reviews?
Have you done a comparison of similar small electric riding lawn mowers ? Thanks.
These are made by TTI, so it is going to be a rebranded ryobi (older model) with the newer ryobi's battery system. The Toro, Craftsman and I believe even the Cub Cadets are also rebrands of the same model or from the same source, so they all experience some of the same issues. Might be wrong on the Cub Cadet.
The only comparison you need to bother about at this point is price.
Older Ryobi in that form factor is like $2600. This Hart version is about $3999.
Never said how much it is going to cost
That my friend is the biggest joke I have ever seen I would not take a battery of any kind to replace my Honda walk behind or my John Deere D110 rider tractor. Unless the government comes and takes them from me 😊
NOTHING beats a gasoline engine!!! I hate being limited on how far I can go!!
Well, you are more likely to encounter gas shortages than electric ones. One is limited by supply chain+ prices will undoubtedly go up, and quite frankly, I'm not too optimistic about the future regarding gas atm. That said, some of the electric models (not this Hart) have normal lithium ion battery packs that you can buy and swap out when you need to go "further". Its not like these are cars where you drive them everywhere.
@@deuswulf6193 don't think cutting a lawn is priority when there's a gas shortage
@@paramagician Maintaining a lawn is important to a lot of people, as it deals directly with their property value, fire hazards depending on location, and a number of other things which all benefit from a riding lawn mower.
@@deuswulf6193there won’t be a gas shortage for at least 100 years idk where you eco friendly people get these delusional thoughts. Why would anyone in the right mind pay 4k for an electric lawn mower when they can pay 1k for a gas lawn mower and get a decades use out of it wether if you’re hauling wood, cutting or whatever.
$600.00
For over 3,000 I don't think so especially when the battery is probably going to fail within 2-3 years
I'll take an airens 56" zero turn long before a chinese battery. the airens will last 20 years, this will be dead in 5. They are both the same price
@@Protoolreviews how about battery life? Li-ion left sitting over the winter dead or fully charged will be worthless in the spring.
Briggs and kohler forever
Don't buy: the greenworks was 400 bucks more and does 2.5 acres instead of 1
I just do not understand why companies do not put deck wheels on their riding mowers. Mowers like this have a real problem if a wheel drops into a hole the deck doesn't float but instead scalps the ground with is really hard on the blade. If you are lucky, it just scalps and dules the blade slightly. If you are unlucky, it bends the blade. Just a stupid design.
No removable batteries makes this a no go for me.
If you want to keep mowing after an hour, you can’t just swap the batteries and keep moving. Instead you’ll have to find an outlet to plug in for hours at a time. So basically you can only mow for 1 hour per day. Yikes that’s a narrow market.
Not to mention built-in batteries will degrade much faster than removable ones would. Most garages and sheds are not climate controlled which will drastically reduce the life of the built-in batteries since you can’t store them elsewhere.
Foolish design. This mower will only be worth a look if you have a small lawn and an established home with a climate controlled garage to store the mower 🏡
I’m guessing after 3 years the batteries will be half of their current capacity. If they’re asking 3000-$4000 for this, you’re paying one thousand per year of use.
It’s a disposable tractor, meant for less than 5 years of use. Very wasteful. Such a shame.
TTI makes Hart, Ryobi, and Milwaukee. Go with the Ryobi over this Hart tractor. It has removable batteries, more features, is more rugged, is much more powerful and will last longer. Or, wait for Milwaukee to come out with a riding mower in two decades once they finally get around to it.
I use Hart push mowers to maintain 5 properties. They do the job well and can go all day when I switch out the batteries. I am very disappointed to learn that there is no shot I add this tractor to my equipment. Totally unusable for anyone who mows their family’s lawns or their church or a cemetery like I do.
Do better Hart. I want to respect your brand, but you just released a $3,999 disposable. 😑
You clearly didn't watch the video, he mentions it has a supercharger that charges it in 2hrs.
@@Chattanooga_Sparrow missed that detail. Still too long. Swapping batteries is instant and unlimited
Ryobi's comparable mower doesn't have removable batteries, either.
@@CopperCreekCuts yes it does: ua-cam.com/video/iUzEuz60tEs/v-deo.html
@@CopperCreekCuts Not quickly removable batteries at least. I'd like to see how easy it is to replace batteries on this Hart just for the sake of maintenance. The current Ryobi lead acids are pretty standard 12v deep cycles that you can get easily, and replace easily. That said, I am still interested in this thing, the 1 hour is fine for my 2/3 acre lot
Nope! I'll pass.
I would never buy some electric trash.
lol have fun cleaning carbs and changing oil.
@@Salad360 It is fun. I changed my oil in my mower many times and enjoy doing it.
@@Salad360you only gotta do that once a decade dude. If you run ethonal free you Should have zero carb issues for a very long time. After 5 years that electric hunk of shit will need new 900 dollar batteries replaced because it won’t hold a charge. It’s more financial maintenance for the ev tractor in the long run
