I got this mower specifically to be able to drive it through a 36 inch door ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx1VWTrayKBdCKAjzAcZ_Eg4dhHTae3LkN also recommend or gate It is a little tight with the grass deflector installed but has more clearance with the deflector replaced by the recycler/mulcher. This model appears to be popular and a little harder to find for that reason. I can't judge the dependability as I have only mowed the yard twice but everything else on the mower is very nice and working fine so far. I added options for the run hour timer, arm backrests, recycler/mulcher, towing bracket, deck lift assist and cover.
Thanks to your review I bought one the 30" my daughter who is autistic could never use a normal gas rider as the noise would trigger her really bad. This one she hopped right on it and fell in love.!!!! Thank you for showing us to a solution for her new never knewexisted!!
I'm thinking about the 30" model. How's the power with wet grass?
This is one of the best reviews of any product I've ever seen on UA-cam. Love the detail!
Thank you! Your video has been very helpful!! I just bought a new home and that Ryobi 80v 42 inch is what I came up with after a bit of research. I am 68 yrs old and walking a push mower is just out of the question. Good to know about the towing too. That will come in handy! Thanks!
Just watched several reviews on this mower. Yours was the best, by far! I'm convinced. Thanks!
Thanks!
Very informative! We have the smaller Ryobi zero turn and love it.
Thanks for actually giving a honest & thorough review! You made sure to cover even the smallest details, just decided to get one because of your review brother!
As someone who has a lot of hours on ZTRs if you're new to one, go slow on your turns and don't take them super tight. Unless you like replacing grass. Just like driving a Bobcat or any skidsteer type vehicle the tighter and faster you turn the more likely you will tear up what your driving on.
That’s good to know and now it’s not going to be as fun as I thought it would be.
@@zephirinedrouhin3735 another thing I've noticed. We had a Gehl brand machine, their version of a Bobcat. The street department would borrow it when streets were being resurfaced to load blacktop that was ground out around manholes. When they turned on the rough ground blacktop, it really wore the tire tread. It was about like taking a grinder to the tread.
@@bwselectronic Wow! That’s pretty harsh on the tires!
The Country Clipper series has had a joystick for years. We had a CC for 15 years and we loved one handed operation.
Huh! I’ve never heard of the country clipper! Is it still around? They still sell them?
I got one! Yay! Coming to me new on the crate on 05/22/2024, so I'll get to put it together.
I will say... If you do not have all 3 80V suitcase batteries, put both batteries forward leaving the empty slot at the back slot. REASON BEING... This will move the center of balance forward making it harder to roll over backward going up slopes. I saw a video of someone flipping over backward on the 42" model.
Great Job. I own and reviewed the previous version but have viewers asking about the updated 80V version so I am sending them over to you. I may possibly get one as well in the future if I can talk the wife into it. LOL. Have a great day.
Great video and looks like Ryobi made a solid product. For the price it seems like a good competitor for a premium over gas versions. 6k is a lot of coin though!
Like a lot of green stuff it's about the payoff. If you compare the cost per hour of operation to a gas zero turn these things pay for themselves within the 5 year warranty period. It is a lot more up front, but compared to something similar like a Toro TimeCutter MyRide 54 at 4700 and the 54 Ryobi at 7000 you make up for that gap in gas, oil, belts, etc. There are far fewer consumables on this machine even if you don't value electric over gas. I ordered this for the joystick though. I look forward to having a free hand while I mow like I do on a riding mower but with the speed of a ZTR.
If the new lithium battery lasts for a while. Seems worth it.
Mine got delivered today!!!!! 😄😄
Country clipper has been making joystick ZT for years with flip up deck to clean.
Wonder what you will be able to do with those brief case batteries in the future
I would have ordered sooner if I knew there would be a batch that went out already. I am waiting for the next batch to ship, 54".
The only thing it's missing is a 110 outlet so that you can use it for a power source when your out on your property or for power outages.
Great post.....Have you used a snow plow or blower attachment and was your experience
great video.
You have alot of batteries? How many does it actually come with? How much do the extras cost?
Great video! Have you or anyone used the bagger attachment to collect leaves? Thanks again for the great content!
Can you charge the new 80v battery's separate, without the zero turn ?
WOW, this is an amazing review. I am currently looking for an electric zero turn to go along with my Toro zero turn, so my husband and I can mow at the same time, and also be able to use it for trailer work around the paddock without the loud noise. I just contacted Ryobi to see when these will be available, as they only have the 48v in Australia at the moment, so fingers crossed they will be launched here soon. Thanks for this full review, it answered every question I had.
Thank you for your kind words!
@@livefreeandtoolon Ryobi Australia contacted me yesterday and the great news is the 80v will be launched in Australia in the next few months, I'm so excited by this, as the lead acid batteries of the 48v are not very good as they struggle if run under 50%
Great to hear. Thanks for sharing also in Aus waiting on one. Agreed about lead acid batteries- glad they’ve made the switch.
@@schelletick Did Ryobi give you an idea of price? Only available thru Bunnings?
@@rocknral Yes I assume through Bunnings, and they didn't give a price, but I am guessing it will over over $9000, as the 48v are $7,500
Can it go up a hill without tipping over? Like a 3:1 slope
How long does it go on just the two included batteries (1 80v and 1 40v)?
How do you clean under the deck? Blade maintenance?
Welcome to the club! I got a video up on the 54”. Curious if you noticed the power draw from the batteries? I think something is wrong as mines drawing from the 40v at the same time as the 80v. It is NOT prioritizing the 80v as advertised. My first run was at slow drive speed and medium blade speed. 1.6ac my results were…. Let’s just say it wasn’t good.
Hello again Great Dane! After assembling my 42" on Friday, I noticed that the charger didn't seem to be charging the 40v batteries at all although it had charged the 80v to 100%. After reconnecting the charger multiple times it kept saying I was 100% charged even though the 40v batteries weren't! However, with the charger disconnected and mower turned on it showed an accurate assessment of what was charged. I then charged the 40v with my 40v rapid charger most of the way. (I contacted Ryobi and have a 'case' going with them) After doing a bunch of test driving over the weekend to get used to it, I mowed my lawn today (Tues.) starting with around 80% total charge. After carefully mowing my small yard (approx. 5K sf) I was at 51%, and the 40v batteries were fairly low like you mentioned. (One with 1 bar and one with just barely 2) The 80v were at 73%. I plugged it in and the 80v were at 100% in less than 40 min. but the 40v didn't seem to be charging again! I left it plugged in this time, and they eventually started to charge, but VERY slowly. (By comparison to the 80v) It took at least an additional 2 hrs to charge the 2 40v batteries. Ryobi says that it has something to do with them 'syncing' to the mower/'system'. I gave Ryobi my 'report' today when they called, including how much the 40v batteries were surprisingly depleted and how slowly they charged, and they said that might improve and that they would continue to check back with me and remedy the situation if necessary.
By the way, I watched one of their assembly videos and saw a direct contradiction to what the manual had said about plugging in the charger. The video said to plug it in the wall first, the opposite of what the manual said! When speaking to Ryobi today, they consulted and said it doesn't matter which way you do it! Go figure... Perhaps this reviewer might have something to say about all of this!
how do the batteries do with hills? My yard is on a slope
I would like to get one of these mowers, I do bag my lawn. I've not seen anything about the bagging unit.
If I'd like to get a third 80 volt battery, do you just order that through Home Depot?
How about dust build up. Do the brushless motors collect dust. I have a dusty yard, if that makes any sense. I haven't heard anyone talk about the motors collecting dust. Are the motors sealed?
Great review. Is the measurements for the 42" based on if the blades are attached or is it the back wheels width? Trying to decide on a 30vs42 as we can only have max 30" for hauling trailers down garden rows (and have the blades area taken off)
It’s based on the Mower deck where the blades are
@@livefreeandtoolon Thanks, any chance you would be able to tell me the width of the back tires at some point? Would be greatly appreciated and no rush
We have to understand that the features of this device are either amazing, super, awesome, fantastic or impressive and so on.
Correct
@@livefreeandtoolon
But why?
@@Peter_Riis_DK because it is, watch the video again and you'll see
@@livefreeandtoolon
No I will not see. I have absolutely nothing to compare your claims to - as a reviewer that's your job. And it seems rather suspicious that a company makes a brand new product with all perfect functions and not even a single draw back.
I am actually rather fond of Ryobi and have a few of their tools myself - that's why I know they're not sheer perfection.
@Peter_Riis_DK if you are still on the fence about one of these mowers, run down to your local Home Depot now and see if they still have one on sale. I bought one yesterday for a thousand bucks out the door. It drives like a motorized wheelchair that doubles as a lawnmower.
How's the power with wet grass? I'm considering the 30" version for my half acre yard.
UPDATE:
I got the 30" model and so far it's been decent.
I keep the drive speed on lowest level and the blade speed at the highest level to optimize the cut.
I still need to overlap about 50% and I need to double mow for wet grass.
On my ½ acre, I use about 60% of the battery charge.
At this price point... it would have been great if the wall charger unit could ... I don't know... have 120v outlet on it so you could use the battery's "in the mower" as alternative power source. Use the mower as a backup battery unit? OMG?
Wishful thinking on my part, I know. But still... there is potential for it.
Super nice,but where u put the cooler with the beers!!
How do you change the joystick to the left side?
Does it have a reverse and neutral?
Costs on the suite case packs and the 12ah ones. It would be nice for a option to buy all the batterys with 42 or 30 inch units without robbing the bank or buying the 54 inch and buying the 42 inch deck alone
Yes but can you use a weedeater in the other hand while driving. . . if so ,im sold!!
I am torn between this model and the 54". I feel like the mid-size is perfect for a smaller lawn and easy to maneuver.
I have this unit coming... By 06/01/24... Can't wait!!!!!!!!
Now 06/03/24
Right now in California they are 40% off. Plus you get the free gift (bagger or tow kits)
I'm hoping i can get answer to could questions. How wide is the mower with the plastic chute on? Want to see if it would fit the door without messing with it. And realistically how long would a run be with just the included batteries that come with mower?
The chute can be held up with a bungee... then just deck width.
The AGM's that came with my 48ZTR100 really do last 2 to 3 Ac. in grass 6-8" high.. less in taller grass.(see my comments ~August, 22) I am quite sure the lithium batteries will do some better..
Why are there 3 blade speeds? What speed is recommended?
The 80V suitcase batteries are $899 each. That's $2697 for this model...something to think about.
I have mine on order! I Checked them out at Home Depot they had some on display but they were out in the rain and sun and I want one new in box. So chose to wait a month for mine.
You'll love it!!!
I bought mine from a Home Depot the morning after they had received them the previous evening. They were still crated, unassembled, and covered in plastic, and I insisted that mine stay that way through delivery! The store manager also assisted in canceling my online order that I had made the moment that was possible. I believe I may also have convinced them how wrong it was to leave the electric mowers outside exposed to the elements!
@@waynebinder8547 that’s awesome!!!
@@waynebinder8547 I was so mad because I went two days before to Home Depot and they had just received them just like you said in plastic and well covered so i was excited to go back and buy one. I didn't have the funds at the moment so i returned two days later and they had them all built already and outside facing the harsh Florida summers.
@@Totomuncher That's too bad. I've been back to my Home Depot twice since I purchased mine. (on Tues. 6/28) If they have them on display somewhere, I haven't seen where! They definitely were NOT outside in front with other mowers. (Which did include some of the older Ryobi electric mowers and some Cub Cadet electric...) I couldn't believe it when they admitted that they left those mowers outside, and I told them bluntly that no one should ever buy an electric mower that has been left out in the elements! The store manager I was dealing with did say he had concerns about leaving mowers with the price tag these have outside!
Is that wall super charger plugged into an outlet? My shed has no power going to it
Yes
Is there a left-handed version?
Love that it charges bats in unit -- wish my Snowblower did that.
Cheers
I have the 54 LI on order and expect to have it delivered in mid-August, and looking forward to it. I have a 48" John Deere S160 riding mower currently and 3 acres to mow, so it had to be the 54" deck for me. I have 3 questions: (1) Does it come with a mulching cover, or is the mulch that's ejected from the side, ok to just leave as-is? (2) Secondly, I was wondering if the deck is removable for cleaning or even to use the vehicle without the deck sometimes, just for hauling stuff when more ground clearance is needed? (3) I noticed that you picked up the front to show us the blades. Will it sit up like that on its own if you wanted to change the blades etc.?
Hi thanks for watching! 1.Yes mine came with a mulching cover standard and I had to install the chute. 2. Yes the deck is removable with coder pins. 3. NO! The mower will not stay up and it’s not light you will need a mower lift. I hope this helps.
@@livefreeandtoolon Perfect - thanks for the info.
I live in Florida where our soil is very sandy. I mow with a Ferris ztr, turning with out tearing up the grass is difficult to do. I wonder how the ryobi joy stick controller would do?
That's an interesting comment I've had some difficult situations with mossy areas with the traditional Z turn with the joystick it the joystick it tempers the mower radius and slows down the mower so it doesn't overaccelerate the tires and rip the soil up
@@livefreeandtoolon I would like to see a demo on our type of grass.
If these mowers prove themselves over the next few years, I might be a potential buyer.
80V of what kind of battery ?
Do you plan on purchasing the mulching kit or a bagger. With the 54" i have purchased, I don't have the option for a bagger
No I don’t, the dual blades mulch the grass up so well it’s not needed if you mow regularly
I want to see how it operates on an incline. Snapper made a joystick controlled one several years ago and it was crap on slopes because of the joystick.
It does okay
Can you do a review on its performance on different terrain types?
I saw a comparison video by Live Free and Tool On Video of the older and newer model of Ryobi’s 42” Z turns. Toward the end he does have a short bit showing their abilities on an incline.
I have a fairly steep front yard and it does just fine.
I'm curious, can you charge the batteries (the 80V) outside of the mower? I know the 40's you can, but I don't have power to my current setup.
You can plug the mower's charger directly into the 80v batteries one at a time if you want or need to.
Wayne got it below!
TTI makes Ryobi also Hart wonder how long till Walmart will have a similar item?
Haha very soon!
Batteries, batteries everywhere.
Do the blades shut off when you’re going reverse or is there a switch to use so you can cut in reverse?
It just cuts in reverse. No setting that I’ve seen, so far.
Hmmmm not sure why ryobi went with another voltage battery style . 2 of those 40 volts 12ah have more capacity than 1 of those 80 volt 10ah battery . I like egos approach of using their current line of batteries . 6 of the 12ah batteries would have great and reverse compatible with the 40 volt .
EGO started out with a good voltage but Ryobi has had to play catch up. I think Ryobi found a good balance by allowing 40V batteries as extensions while still benefitting from the efficiency of a higher voltage system. Hopefully the voltage boost on the 40V batteries is efficient.
The only problem with the Ryobi 80v I see is that if it's 8 or 900$ for an 80v 10ah like I saw one reviewer say, then they are about 20% more expensive per kWh then EGO. Since that video at a Ryobi event had a number of specs like charging speed wrong, I'm hoping the price is more reasonable.
Cruise control?
Do all of the batteries shown come with the mower? For me, it's huge that you can tow things with a zero turn. It was my understanding that the transmission on most gas zero turns was not set up to do so.
Yes it comes with 2 10ah 80v batteries and 2 12 ah 40v batteries
I have a sloping yard. How is it on hills?
Check out this video it show driving at angles on a hill ua-cam.com/video/zWwgqM4Y2o0/v-deo.html
Remember when cell phones were suitcase size? One day we are going to look back and laugh at battery suitcases. Hopefully soon.
Your video is 10 months old. How's the battery's holding up?
It's the same as the first year!
Looks like one of them granny scooters with a mower deck on it
More like a recliner with a mowing deck! Jaha
It lists the 54" at 800 lbs, which seems heavy enough to stay planted. Do you ever feel like it is too light or the tires leave the ground on inclines?
I have the 42” and feel like it’s planted nicely but you have to be aware the the weight is only a couple inches from the ground so the center of gravity is super low I have not left the ground. Check out other videos on my channel I drive at angles on an incline
I've got a 48ZTR100 & have used it for 2+years.. Absolutely the best mower I've ever used!! Still does wheelies after 2 years of hard use! 1.0to 1.3 acre lawns that at times have grown to over 2" in areas..
It costs us in North Carolina, about $.62 per 3 acre use... It used to cost me $20+..BEFORE gas went to the sky! Why would anyone use anything BUT a battery mower????
BTW, I meant 2' in areas (..it's kinda like a hay field...)
@@stebro2738 I'm here in North Carolina as well. I have though the Ryobi 480e mower. I really like the fact that there's hardly any maintenance (not like a gas mower) and it's fairly simple to maintain what little bit there is.
Wonder what it will cost to replace the batteries in 8 years? Few grand?
@@matthewvanderbeek2847 lead acid: about $150 each.. But I plan on refitting li-ion when it gets to that.. 200 amp hour battery is only $250 right now.. so about $1000 plus the charger and controller and prices are dropping rapidly.
It's now 2 1/2 years and honestly.. the performance has not degraded. I can still drive it 1/2 mile to my kids house, mow their 1 acre lawn and bag it along with all the gum tree seeds and magnolia leaves and seeds and them drive it the half mile home and still have 20 to 40 % charge left.... for 60 to 70 cents, that's not bad in my book.
cause battery replacement will be more than initial cost of entire unit
Lost me with the joy stick and cutting height adjustment on the same side... I like to adjust the cutting height while moving and I don't see this as a possibility with this one... nope for me
How do you clean the deck? I have a 54" coming shortly
The 54” may have a hose port, however I lift the front and spray out the bottom
@@livefreeandtoolon I guess I could always use a jack to lift it up. thanks for quick reply.
Looks like a good mower. But I can’t stop imagine 3-4 years later I’ll have to decide between spending $2,500+ on new batteries or just get a new mower….
Trust me, not worth it!
What kind of cup do you have that works with the cup holders?
Any tumbler it’s a standard cup holder
@@livefreeandtoolon where did you get that Ryobi one?
@@jtcindahaus I had it made, but I know someone who can make them for you. On the Rebels Facebook group Riley Baker makes them too. Look him up he does great work!
As a mowing contractor with 55 weekly lawns I love the battery tech but am not even close to replacing my gas powered zero turns. My money is made with the 54” decks cutting as much grass everyday I can get on. The cost of battery powered zero turn mowers that are on par to gas commercial abilities is a staggering $35,000 and up!!! Even the cost of these homeowner zero turns at $ 6,000 and up is too much to gamble on for me, for now.
I believe in the tech and would like to put an E-zero turn on my trailer, but they would need to give me one in order to test it under my conditions. They are still in tough competition with all those Home Depot and Lowe’s gas powered lawn tractors especially the cheap used ones on Craig’s list.
Problem is they are all zero turn and not good on an incline. I have zero turn and tractor and I can’t use zero turn at my lake because of the incline. I had a robot mower and junked it because it got stuck too often. Maybe in 5-10 years robot mowers will be perfected. For now go gas except for small jobs…
I can't imagine there is any return on investment for commercial guys yet. There will be, but i don't think it's there yet.
Thank you for the video, but I still have lots of questions! I want one of these so badly! One thing has kept me from popping for one. Have you noticed problems with Teslas suddenly bursting into flames and how hard it is to put the fire out? I worry about that kind of problem with an electric mower. How much different is this than an electric car? I know the battery on a Tesla is really huge, it takes up the entire bottom of the car. Oh, how much is this charging station going to effect my electric bill? How many batteries does this thing need to do a hair under an acre?
How many extra batteries does a person need to have on hand? I see that you have a whole section on your wall dedicated to batteries and chargers.
Oh, when you bought your mower, how many batteries were included with it and did you have to purchase the wall charger separately?
All good questions, however know this is completely different than a Tesla vehicle. The batteries are removable and sealed just like tool batteries. I think the 30” mower may be good for you if it’s only an acre the mower comes with batteries.
@@livefreeandtoolon Yes, that’s the one I’ve been eyeballing! Yeah, Tesla also has gas in it and the problem was with “outgassing”. I know these mowers only use batteries so I guess I shouldn’t be worried about the safety. Thanks so much for the reply. I watched the video for the 30” on the Home Depot website and I don’t think I need that big wall charger.
Can this Ryobi battery zero turn mower use my lawn business 8 hours a day?
Depends on how much you mow, extra batteries may be needed.
Trying to be sold on this, plan on purchasing a zero turn within next month however electric does kind of worry me in regards of having the “strength”
(I’ve used the 40v electric weed eaters, and in my opinion they suck compared to a gas one)
How would your ryobi do if you hit some sticks and small branches with it?
A gas one would most likely go through it and keep going
Thank you for your thoughts
When I hit sticks and what not it cuts them and I keep going. I was mowing with a 23 hp diesel tractor and I do the same mowing. Here is another video that may help it show more aggressive mowing.
ua-cam.com/video/xgqCxKJSMeU/v-deo.html
Damn, ive used gas and 40v ryobi weed eaters, and I see very little power difference. Not trying to be a battery tool fan boy or anything, I just really don't see a difference.
ua-cam.com/users/shorts5_pi95tPmAs?feature=share
Gas is better for brute power. I have a gas earth auger and tried replacing it with an electric that was supposedly almost as much power. It didn't have half the ability of the same-price gas model. I went back to gas. But for things that just spin, not that much power is used. My favorite chainsaw is electric. They don't really need that much power, just spinning a little chain sprocket, and you're not supposed to make the chain do a lot of work all at once but go at it gradually, good technique with any chainsaw.
Maybe a big mower is more like a chainsaw than an earth auger.
What about tall and thick grass..
Does well
Anyone with a landscaping company have any of these? I am curious to see how it would hold up of one solid day of cutting.
IDK.. but I would assume that you would install a towing vehicle inverter and mount the charger so that between stops, you could recharge some.. depending on the size and thickness of your lawns, the lithiun mowers (smaller uses less battery. obviously) might work just fine.. And with less than % power cost per cut, they'd pay for themselves rather fast..
Have a neighbor that is very much into electric/solar/ and gadgets. When I see any mowing / landscaping professionals work on his yard with battery powered then I would be inclined to think its ready for use and cost effective.
@@darwinjina yea i dont see that trickling down to the masses anytime soon. Not to mention you will still need to use a string trimmer and blower to properly cut ur lawn, not worth it. NEXT!
Is it around 5000
I’m interested if they can bring the price down
If the economy gets better and inflation gets back below 2% though Companies rarely do the right thing
what type of batteries are these? Lead acid?
No, Lithium.
Can you get a snow plow for it?
I haven’t seen one for this model
If George Jetson had a lawn, he'd have had this mower!
I wish more reviews showed it cut longer grass. I can hardly tell the difference.
There is a video where some Australian guy is mowing down some grass that looks to be over two feet tall with no problem. I cut some pretty tall grass yesterday with mine and it didn't seem to bog down at all.
@@krisknowlton5935 awesome.
Ours should arrive tomorrow. And my lawn is begging for mercy.
Who gets to use the second cup holder?
One for coffee and the other for "water"
It's great until you have to replace the batteries year 3! For my Ryobi 480e that is $1000 every 3 years! Going back to a gas mower in the spring.
Are your batteries Lead acid or Lithium ?
@@jimji2774 Lead
Big Question! Does the $399 warranty Home Depot offers actually cover everything or is there catch 22’s?
Ryobi gives you a 3 to 5 year warranty WITH the mower... Most of the retailers in house warranties are near useless.. I'll take the factory warranty any day.. (BTW; Ryobi has been near the best company I've had to deal with.. I had one front tire on my ZTR100 that was losing air slowly... I'm not saying they'll do it every time, but Ryobi sent me 2 new complete tire & wheel assemblies!! I have MANY of their tools and they have always been this good!
What is the cost of a replacement battery pack?
For one of the 80v 10ah I found it at HD.com for 800.00
I love my eego z6 42 inch. Going on season 3.
What's replacement cost for all of those batteries not to mention the environmental cost of it?
Does it mow in reverse
Yes
@@livefreeandtoolonthanks for your reply Great review
I don't understand why you need the smaller batteries when you have the large ones. Seems like a design fault to need both.
Lol! 🤣 As a Homeowner I don't need any of these machines, I don't need Hedge Trimmer, Edger, Pruner, weed trimmer, lawn mower or Lawn Riding Mower either gas or electric I don't have any of these machines and having a large property with a big house without grass, weeds of trees saved me a lot of money for over 20years, I've spent nothing but only $25 for every 2 years for buying Ortho Weed and Grass Killer that's all it. Yeah my neighbors hate me for that but I love myself for being so smart ass! 🤣 I when I purchased my property I've spent $6,500 right on the spot to clean my Yard and my entire property. I cleared and cleaned them all of and left nothing but Sand, Pebbles and Gravels, and kept it the way it is and after 20years it's still looks the same, it's clean and clear!, only wood Fences and big shed storage that you'll see there around my backyard. My backyard is huge the size of it can fit 5 semi Trucks with 53ft trailers on em' parked parallel to each other. And I saved a lot of money for keeping it clean that way for 20 years until now. I don't have to spend money for Gasoline, for motor oil, maintenance or lithium ion batteries and other parts for these machines. The only tools I have for my backyard are Rake, Pitchfork, Digging Shovel and Pickaxe which I never really used them and they just got rusted like that hanging inside the shed for many years. And broom/sweeper and Dustpan and Trash Bins that I only use for keeping my backyard always clean. that's all it!
Fuel and check oil....faster and more powerful.
2 joysticks would be cool
Ryobi is nice but ego is much much better. My neighbor borrowed my ego to see/compare them. Quote: The Ego z6 cuts better, faster and easier to control than mine.
I was wondering about this, thanks for letting me know
How many thousands of $$$??? .....I'll keep my lawn service. Thanks.
Wish the batteries lasted longer. Battery died on my mower. Home Depot has them for 40-Volt 4-Ah Battery - $190. Thats 2/3 of the cost of mower.
The only thing green about this mower is the paint job.
Very nice mower and I wanted to go all electric as all my other yard tools are but 6k is crazy money. I can almost buy 2 Kawasaki powered 42" Husqvarna zero turns for that. I can see battery powered being 30% more then gas but 100%, yeah enjoy that crack pipe Ryobi.
My mower was brand new last year and it still looks new. Already the batteries are failing. I found out this is a VERY COMMON problem. Trying to reach royobi is more painful than toothpicks under your finger nails. My estimated hold time is 2 hours and 40 minutes. They close in 2 hours and 25 minutes. Hmmmmm.
I have had great luck so far with my ego z6 42 inch mower. This is season 3. No degradation on batteries yet!
Same with all my ego lawn tools including 42" z6 and 2 stage snow blower. Batteries are still going strong.
I think you need more batteries, LOL
