Vlog#5 | Picking up the new Optimus line of handhelds from Greenworks Commercial and Unboxing
zhlédnutí 249Před 7 hodinami
Went to Choo Choo Lawncare here in Florida, our go-to dealer, and picked up the brand-new line from Greenworks Commercial, their all new Optimus line of handhelds for commercial use. These handhelds and the blower are awesome. String Trimmer and the telescopic hedge trimmer are amazing. Unboxing was like Christmas time. Great design, feel great in the hands. Still waiting on half of our handhel...
Vlog#4 | POV Great day for cutting grass on the OptimusZ 36" going full speed for the first time

POV on the OptimusZ 36" stand-on. Put some old "bonus footage" of our last house with a perfect manicured lawn using the Ryobi Whisper Series String Trimmer and the the Ryobi push-mower. Ryobi gets a bad wrap. For 2 years I used Ryobi to cut and landscape our yard. Had no major issues. For the size of the property I put a ton of hours, more than what most people would put on. But if you want to...
Vlog #3 Testing Out The Ryobi 54" 80V HP Electric Zero Turn Riding Mower
zhlédnutí 1KPřed 14 dny
Last year we purchased our first electric lawn mower the Ryobi 54" 80V, cutting our property 2x a week on 4 acres. This tractor was awesome. What would normally cost me $120 a month on gas, with the electric lawn mower. It only cost me $27 for the whole season, which is March-December here in Florida. This is what opened my eyes to the entire battery-powered lawn equipment. This is why we went ...

a tesla model 3 costs 38k brand new yet a lawn mower costs this much. How does it make sense
@possession3929 Yeah, I totally get it, but in both instances when it comes to buying anything battery, you really are just paying for the battery and the tech. For instance, Tesla is not really put together that well, you're really paying just for the battaries, 85% of it, same with the lawn mowers. Thank you very much for your comment
😂 Hey, I appreciate your comment .. The only thing I spent a lot of money on were the machines, and I took advantage of the bundle package that Greenworks had. When you go all electric, it costs more up front, but it pays for itself with no maintenance and no gas. I only bought a couple of handhelds with my own money. I could have taken a cheaper route, but that would be boring. I've never been one to do something small. Lol
@@SideHustleMowing it’s a great experience for everyone including us. Upfront in your experience what is the difference between Gas and Electric? 50% more. Thanks for your reply much appreciated
@hanalei412002 The benefits outweigh the cost. There is too much to list here, but I can say that there is no maintenance except for greasing your wheels every 500 hours. There is no gas. Less moving parts to break down. That falls into the maintenance category. There is no maintenance except for changing your blades out. The power is instant. It doesn't bog down the same as gas mowers do, but if you have a commercial gas mower that shouldn't bog down either. And the best part is I get anywhere from $3,500-$4,000 rebate at the end of the year for each mower. The best part of these mowers is the color of them, that is why I went with these guys and not Toro and their warrenty. Also they are the only company that has both commercial handhelds and mowers. Ego is saying they are coming out with a commercial mower but I have yet to see it. Hope this answers some of your questions
We love ours its a beast!
Hey Man, that is funny, I just came across your videos today, and then I see you commented, yeah Greenworks are def great machines. DM me on IG
@@SideHustleMowing will do!
I have a feeling you over spent on a few items but, If I had the money like you I would be going all out also.
What is the length in inches from the front caster wheel to the rear of the 32in stand on mower? I am looking into purchasing one and with my trailerless setup I have limited space. Green works does not give dimensions on their website.
65" long and 36" wide
@@SideHustleMowing thank you!
Where did you get it so cheap??
I got it at Factor Direct Tools for 50% off then another 10% off about a year ago.
What a Jack Ass!
Looks like my FL grass… not much to cut lol 😂
Nope, not until the rain comes.
First cut wow thats in it for the long haul.
Yes
I’ve had the dream of doing this for years but scared because of how expensive batteries are. I’ve run electric hand tools and push mowers for 4 years now all EGO. The batteries just started giving me crap this year. Equipment is actually pretty good. It’s the zero turns that scare me. A lot of money for something you don’t know for sure will work.
Yes I was too. That is why I went with a company that has 2000 hours and 5 year warranties on everything. These are commercial use rated so they can withstand a full day of work. From all the studying I've done, they are one of the best ones to go with. Ego is a great brand as well and they just developed a commercial mower as well. When it comes to batteries, if you are using them everyday and charging them everyday, the battery life will only last 4-5 years on handhelds esp if they aren't rated for commercial use. Thanks for your comment.
Who built your trailer with the lifetime warranty? Thanks
To be honest I don't remember who built it. I bought it in Tennessee but I don't want to say on a public forum because they didn't do us any favors, they just wanted a quick sale. It is definitely a good trailer, no shake, no pull. You can't feel it behind your truck at all.
Looking good my friend 3rd video I've watched of yours.
I appreciate it
Hello again my friend. Sec video I'm watching. I can definitely tell you were a professional photographer. Camera angles and clarity is definitely their. The kind of grass you're cutting is definitely what that greenworks is made for. Just don't cut heavy stuff. That's where I ran into trouble in my business.
.
Hey my friend. I too own a lawn care business and I also once used battery powered equipment, and recently went back to gas again. Beware of the weaknesses of modern batteries right now. Which is, heat, water, and tall grass. I had alot of problems with greenworks and tall grass. When I went back to gas I learned the faster you go the more pressure you put on the belt. Their also was a youtube video I watched showing if the grass is super tall greenworks works batteries drain quicker. So my best advice is go shower with those. As you will put less tension on the battery. Best of luck. I subscribed to see how everything goes. 👍
Thank you very much for your comments. I always appreciate it. I'm curious as to which greenworks you had? These new mowers are state of the art and cut tall grass just fine. I've done my research, and I wouldn't buy anything if they could just cut short grass. That would be a bad investment. Like any engine you use, the more strain you put on it, the more battery or gas you will use. Regarding my photography, I haven't done anything in these videos that would showcase it. I've only used my phone and a small camera. But thanks anyways I appreciate it. Have yourself a great day. If you want to see me doing my old job where I actually know what I'm doing and I'm an expert in just look up GregoryJamesPhoto. I haven't posted in years though. But there's quite a lot of bts videos on there.
@SideHustleMowing I will definitely watch your old job videos. Thank you. I've watched a lot of other lawn care businesses youtube and none were as clear a picture or follow them like this camera did. As far as using greenworks mowers I used an 80v greenworks mower I still have the receipt spent over 1,000 dollars at the time greenworks didn't have commercial yet but what happened was thee batteries the same ones your using on the blower and weed waker were my problem. They over heated alot and only after a few uses had gone down to 10 mins run time. On the mower. I will send you the clip of the greenworks zero turn. Same one you have and why I decided to go back to gas.
New sub here bro!!! Very interesting and looking forward to more vids!!!! JT
Awesome thank you!!
I'm sub 38, keep it going.
Thank you very much for your support.
Im on my second video here and im trying to piece tighter what you doing. Are you jumping straight into an all electric lawn care business with no experience because your wife saw some videos on CZcams? Im not trying to be a jerk but your going to need some guidance I can help you out if you need some consulting, im not trying to talk you into paying for anything either I mean if you need any information I probably have already been there done that. I was all electric from 2019-2023 using greenworks commercial, I am now back to gas mostly, it’s not easy I can explain why
Thank you very much for your comment. And no, it wasn't as simple as my wife seeing a bunch of youtube videos, which made us go out and spend over 50k on equipment and not including a truck and trailer. I'm not one to do anything small. If I'm gonna do it, I will do it right. I appreciate your offer. I love a challenge. And I appreciate your support thank you very much.
Nice vid , gretings from Mol (Belgium)
Hey, thanks!
No grass to even mow! Need a updated vid of how this stuff works in the green like Washington state Oregon style something in that nature or some real grass please
I had the older version but it was commercial like this one and the cut quality for some reason was never on par with gas I really don’t know why, I tried all kind of different blades, tried mulching nothing worked well. It was also WAY to heavy for my lawns it spent a lot of time in the trailer because it would just cause to much turf damage.
Coming soon, I'm just waiting on all our handhelds to come in first. I have to get used to operating them first. Thank you for your support.
I bought the 28” hedger 50 volt after two uses on all the shrubs it failed! The local true value wouldn’t step up and ether would greenworks! Never again
That sucks. Sorry to hear that. That is the residential one and it definately should not have broken down that fast. The commercial side of their equipment is totally different. Thanks for your support.
I had a Stihl battery blower that failed after first use. Atwood’s did not want to take it back…. I gave them no choice. No battery lawn equipment ever again.
What does Zero Turn mean ???????
Zero Turn Radius. Each of those sticks he’s holding control a single wheel, so you can push one forward and pull the other back and turn in your own space without having to move much.
@@RomanTechnology thank you Roman the legendary super sayen
Yeah what he said, I couldn't explain in it any better. Lol. Thank you
I sure do hope the prices will go down eventually for residential use. I have a 60” JohnDeere but I’d love to go electric. My car is electric and so it’s only fitting to mow with electric :)
Thanks for your comment. Hopefully they do go down
I'm curious to know if the six port charger charges 80 volt batteries out of curiosity.
Thanks for your comment. No it doesn't it's strictly for thr 82V
Nice vid thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for watching!
How much for the walking lawn mower ?
GREENWORKSCOMMERCIAL Optimus 82V 30” Self-Propelled Lawn Mower with (3) 8Ah Batteries and Dual Port Charger is $3.499.99 and $1999.99 for just the tool only..
MAKE VIDEOS OF TALLLLLLLL grass with this , what to see it
Want
We'll do just waiting for all the handheld to come in and I will find some tall grass yards to do... Thanks again for your comment 👍
I subscribed to see what you do with these mowers. I would love to get that 60' but due to inflation insanity i cannot bring myself to making the purchase. My Exmark Radius X 60 with all the bells cost me $8400 before this inflation hit. Today the same mower is $12k to $13k...i will switch to Greenworks whenever inflation bubble explodes!
Thank you very much for subscribing. Thanks for your support. The mower you have is an amazing mower. Unfortunately I cannot have gas. I have to battery due to my asthma. When it comes to mowers and tech, unfortunately, I don't think they are gonna come down in price. That's why I took advantage of the bundle package Greenworks offered. Best way to reduce your costs and save thousands. Again, thank you for the support.
Tough side hustle for someone with asthma. I’m guessing you’ll wear a mask when working?
This is awesome bro congratulations 🍾
Thanks, man
Somebody that hates to spend money has a lot of stuff !
If you're going to do it, you might as well do it right.. Buy it nice or buy it twice .. Thanks for your comment. Best Greg
I'm curuous: Why did you choose the Optimus 30 over the Optimus 22? 30 is close to your 36.
Hey Paul, Thanks for your comment. I'm using the 30 more as a backup. In case something goes down. It would cover more area, then the twenty-two, and to be honest , I just like the looks of it better as well, lol I also have a 22 Ryobi incase I need that size. But I really don't want to push something that needs to have a twenty two.. 😅 Best Greg
