- This is the new Ryobi not Ryobi 54" 80v zero turn mower with joystick. I already did a full overview video of this new zero turn mower last week, but I really wanted to put this Ryobi 80v battery powered mower to the test, so let me know what you think after watching this video

Mowing lines like Helen Keller was at the controls.
*_This must have been a special occasion for TRZ...... HE'S ACTUALLY WEARING SLEEVES!_*
So sorry I GET DRESSED UP EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE😡
“Battray”, “Milwaukuheye-aye”, “Real Noss like”, “Rye-ohbie”
Please stoppp. I can’t even .. it’s like Dr. Seuss only everything that comes out of his mouth just irritates the s*** outta me.
😆
My ocd instantly kicked in watching that first squiggly line.😅 good vid.
🤣🤣🤣👊
why go to the trouble of switching to a one hand control system and then put the deck height lever on the same side as the joy stick?
Another great Ohio person!🎉🎉🎉I just got myself a 42” for my small yard. It’s done quite well so far.
This looks like a perfect candidate for my next radio control mower project.
Would love to see that 👊👊👊😎
@@ToolReviewZone I radio controlled a walk behind toro. Not a shameless plug, but it's featured on my channel. I'd like to do a bigger one. Eventually, I will.
Yo bro, I don't care a lit a cool plug. Ima check it out
So two things stood out to me the most. The first was the fact that it seemed like you were having issues making straight passes. It seemed like you were always turning left and right a little bit. In my head this is because the field is bumpy (as you stated) and that’s causing you to bounce around and thus the joystick is moving a bit. Having never operated a ZTR in any form myself maybe this is normal regardless of the user interface. The second thing that stood out to me was the fact that it seemingly exceeded expectations, something Ryobi not Ryobi doesn’t often do. Now that is truly reallll nasssssd like!
Lol, you are wrong about the passes, ut it was because I wasn't really paying attention. That said, when you first try to make straight passes, it's a bit tough, but if I really had to run a straight line, it would have done it
Definitely hard too keep straight and doing detail mowing very hard to do I’m presently testing z42 , i think a lever zero turn easier to use far as steering
Are these batt rays better then the typical Ryobi batt rays?
this Ryobi not Riobi Mower is pretty awesome. They made really good tool for '' low Budget/DIY'' Sometime i wish i was going into Ryobi not Riobi instead of Ridgid And Ego.
Lmao
These are being sold at Home Depot for like $1000 now, reportedly. Dang I wish I could find one at that price.
I have an old Craftsman Lawn Tractor I purchased in 2004 and it’s still chugging along. However the last few years it has required more maintenance to keep it going. I don’t know how much life is left on it maybe another few years? 🤷🏻♂️ it’s possible I will consider some type of High Voltage Lawn Tractor in the future even though my lot is just over a half acre in size. I’m 70 and I just got the Ryobi 40v Push Mower and Trimmer and they work great and are lighter than their gas counterparts and easier for me to manage. So from that standpoint it makes sense to make a switch to Battery/electric. If I were 20 or more years younger I might have a different opinion.
That’s pretty impressive. What size batt-rays did you say you got that kind of run time with?
It comes with four 12ah and three 80v 10ah batteries 👊👊
My 17 year old 42 inch riding Craftsman never leaves clumps.
Looks like a good machine.
Would prefer lap bar steering over joystick. Wondering if they make a version with
Not with the this new battery platform. Only in the lead acid which I wouldn't recommend
@@Wrencheasyagree joystick is the shit.
It is literally the last gas thing I have is my mower. I want to get the lawn tractor for my half acre. I think it would be perfect since the use my current mower as a catch all. Just have to justify the $5,500 price tag and then get the bagger attachment when it comes out. Probably not this year, but soon enough. I am a little jealous that I bet the new 2 stage will be 80v instead of 4 40v (i just bought it this last fall).
I was looking at that mower as well as the Ego zero turn. I would lover to see a comparison to decide on which one I should get.
I've rode the new Ego with the steering wheel but haven't actually cut with it. Everything else I use ego wise is fantastic including their self propelled mowers, so I would imagine the zero turns are awesome too
How much are the batrays if need to replace them?
I have questions, should we leave the mower on the charger all the time? So when ever you need to cut, it is at 100% and really to go. It seems like it will not last as long that we. Or do we "store mode". Then charge just charge up before you cat it? And if so, what percent do you leave it for? That 80v is EXPENSIVE, and we want to last as long as possible. Thanks!
You mow like a wild blind man. 😂
🤣🤣🤣👊
How long did it take to charge back up?
Dude, I’m Louisville Kentucky. Next tool show around are parts I’ll bring Big red😂👌. RYOBI mower lookin Nassss
Would be awesome to meet up brother 👊👊👊
Fern creek stand up!
@@Charlesbjtown Newburg middle and I went to Fern Creek high school 💪
What would you say max slope it can safely handle? Cross slope and straight up/down
15° (per the Ryobi manual).
Impressive, but there are a significant number of owners who have complained that the joystick makes it especially challenging when deliberately trying to mow in precise straight lines. Some have even commented that it's almost impossible to mow in a straight line altogether. How about some straight lines for the viewing audience, aye? I'm from Missouri, so show me. Cheers! : - )
You put it in lower speed and it’s less twitchy, problem solved aye! 😂
That Batt-Ray :P
The minister of War & Finance has said I can get the same one as you! I have about 1.5 acres on a hill, and I'm using a Cub Cadet 42 steering wheel zero-turn right now. Just wondering how the battery life is and how it handles going uphill. You've tried it out, if so what are your thoughts. Want to make the jump over just don't want to outlay that money and find out it's going to die halfway through the job.
Push it to the limit
Walk along the razor's edge
But don't look down just keep your head, or you'll be finished
pros and cons to both electric and gas. If you're clumping on a gas unit, it's the operator buddy.
i have the 30 inch love it except 1 thing i didn’t think of is i have corporal tunnel syndrome in my right hand, haven’t figured out a good way for gripping the joy stick that it doesn’t aggravate my wrist
Do you have any kind of hills in your yard? I’m debating between the 30 inch zero turn and the 42 inch lawn tractor because I have slopping hills down to the backyard on either side of my house and then a swale in the back so it’s a pretty decent incline at back of my yard too.
why would be any grass clumps mower deck is up very high it only cutting few inches what i can see
I want one! I just had to cut like 1/2 acre of knee high grass my landlord dropped off a new toro push mower😢 there's like a 15k zero turn in the garage thats not running or 2 acres would have been cut instead the 1/2ac that surrounds the house
Was I the only one trying to clean that off my screen? 😂 0:10
Can you do a review of the riding lawn tractor from ryobi
1:20 - Damn hard to go in a straight line, huh?
I'm debating buying this
I've been riding it around like a scooter because I have a small fracture in my foot. Now I just need to see if it will fit in the Walmart isles
@@ToolReviewZone it does seem fun! I'm tired of fuel, belts breaking and the HEAT of the motor at my back
@@scidav87 same here brother. This was the last piece of the puzzle for me
What is a bat ray
Is it Bat Ray or Battery?
Very impressive, but have you gotten the Chakka Gillis endorsement yet? Lol!
Hahaha, not yet... but I'm sure he will show up somewhere 🤣🤣👊👊
Its brand new, Test after 2 years of use, and see if it keeps that battery level after blades dull.
You know... you can shapen blades right. I'll see you back here in two years
@Tool Review Zone yeah all six of em, have fun. Point im making is every mower does great with new blades, im positive that battery life will weaken after a dozen cuts.
@@ericstanley7973You're not familiar with lithium batteries then. You're probably one of those who parrot "you'll need to replace that 20k battery every 3 years in yer ev"😂
@ToolReviewZone 1 year check-in. How's it doing now?
Have you seen the new 30" 80v push mower that Ryobi released this year. It's very disappointing that Ryobi didn't run 2-40v batteries in Series increasing the voltage to 80v. Most of their consumers already own the 40v lineup and would have increased their chances of sales via tool only. Very disappointing on their part. I have the following in their 40v lineup:
21" Whisper Mower
Backpack leaf blower
2 Stage Snowblower
Whisper leaf blower
Whisper Trimmer
Pressure Washer
I would have purchased the mower via tool only or with a battery, unfortunately I will not be purchasing this item. This would have added to my collection giving me endless run time with the amount of batteries I have as well. This would also increase their chances with lawn care service providers as well.
Can you make 3 point turns with the joystick?
Sure can
@@ToolReviewZone thank you very much
That is thick, please come to south.
Never heard any one say battery like that before
I know, it's weird 😕
Lithium ion batteries in time lose recharging capacity. All battery powered mowers are great when new. Give it a couple of years and you will see a difference.
So many opportunities for the deep moist voice…
I had the voice in there, but accidentally put a different audio track over it it and deleted it 😪😪😪
@@ToolReviewZone 😩
Not bad at all. You just sold thousands of these mowers cutting this MOIST grass. No clumps. A smooth on clump cut. I mean really, no clumps. Everyone wants a good clumpless cut lawn. Nothing worse than a clumpy lawn, besides the pesky makita gnome. And thats real nass like
Hahaha, no clumps John..... no clumps !!! 🤣🤣👊
No way my John Deere Z810 would handle that first pass at that speed. No way. I would have to cut halfway. I couldn't cut the entire 54" deck and I'd have to cut slow. Really slow and I'd still bog down. Anyone want to buy a JD Z810 with 250 hours on it? LOL
What's cool about the electric motors is they are all power all the time, so they don't really bog down like gas does
You keep this up and you are gonna cost me morey💲💲💲and that ain't real nass like buddy. Would put a halt to my trips to the meat market lol
Lol, sorry brother 🤣👊
One question: after you finish mowing an acre on a Ryobi Prius...which gay bar do you go to?
This guys hilarious
Badray?
I hope they go back to the old two stick controller. I tried one of these, and no. Just no. For a rough riding mowing job, this controller is not good. And, far less control overall. Getting around tress was very troublesome.
My only problem is that you’re going to have to replace the batteries at some point, and we don’t know how long before they bite the dust. Then how much will they cost to replace? How long does it take to charge the batteries from zero? Batteries are cool when they are new, not so much when they get some serious use on them! Not knocking it, I am in the Ryobi family!
It charges fairly fast....maybe a couple of hours from 0% ??. I have got one here in Australia.
Having said that....I would not go below 55% SOC (state of charge (left in the battery)). Reason being, as at least mine seems to use up the 40Vdc batteries (over here ours are 36Vdc batteries) before really starting to use the 80Vdc batteries. It reduces the lifetime of the batteries if you leave them deeply discharged for a longer period of time. I have done about 20 runs so far on my 54" inch version (same as tested here) and the lowest I have taken it is 45% total charge left and recharged them after a couple of hours resting period. Otherwise I try to store the mower (if not used for some day or a week or more) at above 60% total charge left.
Mine is a rough and hilly property and it works perfectly fine at low speed and medium cutting speed settings.
I do about 3/4 acre and usually have 80% SOC left in it. For the same size area cutting my John Deere L111 42" inch cutting deck used to use a tank of fuel. The 80Vdc Ryobi 54"inch used just 20% of its battery capacity. One of the main reasons is that it is more then twice as quick to cut the same area.
The batteries have a 5yr warranty, so at least 5 yrs lol. If you have to buy a couple ne batteries in 6+yrs, they will probably be much cheaper.
Ohio huh…anywhere near the southeastern re-geion? I have a yard, about 3 1/2, 4 acres…your more than welcome to come over and “test out” some more! 😅
Hey Clint keep your day job those lines are crooked not niceee like 😂😂😂
Bat ray power
Don’t quit your day job… that looks horrible🫣
Nice review! But plant more trees. Who need that much grass?
You are commenting on a brand new lawn mower , there was another You Tuber who did a video 2 years later and this lawn mower is a turd do not buy . I am so glad I bought all new gas powered lawn equipment last year.
How did he do a two year later when this has only been out for a few months. This is the lithium ion batteries, not the old lead acid that he used 🙄
Dude he did a review on a lawnmower that was using lead acid batteries. They don't like being discharged. They also don't like being stored for even a couple weeks without use. This mower has lithium ion batteries that are proven to retain their life and health even when stored for years. Lithium ion can also do 500 charge cycles before losing only 20% it's capacity. You'll be replacing the mower before you replace the batteries on this bad boy. Gas is terrible compared to battery powered. The dukes alone is enough to say no to gas.
Lead Acid vs Lithium Batteries are not a good comparison. Lithium has so much more positives over Lead Acid. Can’t compare apples to oranges.
I think some of these comments come from other manufacturers or just someone that doesn't pay attention
@@ToolReviewZone makes me wonder as well
Problem is you mow different in the US. In Australia we just go straight to the lowest level regardless of how tall the grass is and still expect the max run time. If the manufacturer says 4 acres, aussies expect 4 acres even tho we ignore the disclaimers from the manufacturers regarding how they came to those numbers.
Why do advertise that all electric mowers are quieter when they're actually about the same as gas?
What the hell is a "bat Ray"
Exactly
The grass was not very high to begin with, at least compared to where I come from.
The lack of a roll bar on these mowers is pure negligence, if not worse. I owned a Ryobi zero turn, albeit with sticks controls. They are light in the front, especially when going up hills, and a bit of inattention, or hitting a bump or hole, and they could easily go over backwards. The removal of the conventional control sticks will only contribute to this potential problem, in my opinion, is with nothing else to hang onto, the operator will be more likely to make unintentional control inputs to the joystick. This is sad, as I own a lot of Ryobi tools already.
Where do you live, a hey field? Also, I said in the video....it's residential not commercial. Almost none of these types have a roll cage.
A roll bar, for a lawn mower? LOL! You're probably one of those cupcakes who gets triggered if someone isn't hearing a bicycle helmet. Grow a set.
@@rodmunch69 I'm lol with you. Watching this tractor on flat land. Roll bar. I'm guessing we missed that part. Rod I'm sure he wears a 🚜 ⛑& mittens.
bat rays
Two minutes in and can't listen go bat ray anymore
to me i dont think this is a good test it should started off the lowest deck setting right from the start and cutting that high grass at lowest setting just saying
Ego ego
Can't go wrong with Ego.
Why you saying battery like a british person ! 😂
My screen just took a crap after one use , not happy ryobi
$7k when a comparable gas mower is $4500...no thanks.
May 2024 - they've got $2000 off, so 30" @$2999, 42"@$3999, 52"@$4999. (Maybe that will become a permanent price reduction?)
First
Nope, I'm first!
Interesting review, but he needs to learn how to mow a lawn properly
so i am aussie and am i the only one that can hear him saying batrays?
Reobi. Sorry ill say it however tf i want.
