I believe the biggest omission in this video is the huge pro for EGO: the removable batteries! I bought the 52” zero turn (comes with 6 12ah batteries) long with their 18” chainsaw and a 21” snowblower. I can use the 12ah batteries in all of those devices and any other tools in their line up.
Your right, thats a massive plus!
Thank you, brother.
Shopping for a ZT e-mower right now and doing my due diligence. Thanx for the info 👍😉

Excellent analysis; clear, concise and intelligent comparisons. I'm on my third summer with the Mean Green Stalker stand-on mower (does NOT qualify for your < $8,000.00 comp) and it's been outstanding. I ordered it from The Lawnmower Hospital in Edmonton, AB (I live in Minnesota) and they were great to work with. The model was being discontinued and I got it for a steep discount from a ridiculous price. Very impressive heavy duty construction and the battery is amazing, with almost no phantom load loss during the winter (I check it on the first of each month). I use the Tesla charge philosophy (max 80%/min 20%) for a long battery life and it works well for me. I have roughly 1.75 acres with lots of trees and this thing makes it easy. Blessings and curses? "Phenomenal power and torque"- effortlessly climbs a 23% grade while mowing on high blade speed: Curse? "Phenomenal power and torque" management- it can be a bit jumpy and can quickly rip up a chunk of sod with the controller set-up, even on the turtle mode. Requires a feather touch. I'm assuming this has been addressed in succeeding model upgrades. By the way, of the models you mention, I favor the Ego- I have a couple of their mowers, blowers, trimmers, chain saw, etc. and they're very well made. [Side-note: the chain saw is five years old and the chain oiler has always had a tendency to leak the whole tank out if you hang it in the vertical position- hopefully they have addressed that issue in subsequent models. Otherwise, highly recommended.]
Cheers!
Much appreciated 🙏 I am looking into DR's electric mower for my personal choice. Maybe someday I'll gett to test drive one to see if it is right for me. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Thanks for this. Very informative,
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
I love my ego z6 mower 42 inch deck!! I mow 2.5 acres
Awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Yes, please do a review of the commercial electric zero turn riding mowers! Thank you!
You got it! It is something that I am looking into right now. Thanks for watching and commenting! 👍
@@lawnBot I've compared the Green Machine & GreenWorks Commercial models from their online specs, but I would love to see physical side-by-side comparison of the two companies' machines. I have never used a rideing mower & am new to being on land (my father recently got property with around 4-acres of mowable land w/ some trees to mow around). We hired a kid to mow our yard while we are researching electric commercial riding mowers. He used a 48" stand-on commercial Scag mower, which seemed really nimble & he complete the mowing in 2-hrs., which is the same as it has taken a mower with a larger deck to mow it. So decksize (as long as 48" or above) doesn't seem to be the most important factor for our needs. I am thinking we may get a 48", 50" or 52". I know the general recommendation is to get 52" or larger for 3-4 acres or more. But, 60" just seems so large & cumbersome to me to go in between & around trees. And, after seeing the kid we hired use his stand-on mower, I am really starting to consider a stand-on. I like how you have a higher view vantage point, & how you can quickly step on & off of a stand-on to pick up litter or a branch you don't want to mow over, etc. The prices are still too high for electric commercial riding-mowers, but we hope by next spring there will be more competition in the market & the more manufacturers won't be first generation anymore (as a number of first generation came out this year e.g., Exmark, Scag, etc.), so hopefully both of these factors help the prices to come down next spring. Thank you very much for your contribution to helping to figure this new electric commercial riding mower landscape out!
just ordered the ryobi zero 30 inch cut today, there’s 1000 dollars off on zero turn the 54 is down to 6999
Yup! I just ordered the 54 the other day.
Awesome! It's always good to save $. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
The 30 inch is exactly what I need for my small yard
Thumbs up and comment for ya 👍
Awesome! Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Thanks for this review. I'm looking at the EGO to replace my gas powered Husqvarna, 10 years old, over 700 hours. I mow about 3.5 acres. I recently purchased some other EGO products, blower, trimmer, smaller sp mower. They've all performed well this Spring, although the battery time on the mower is a bit lower than I expected.. Just trying to figure if the 6500 price tag is going to get me ten plus years that my Husky has given me for about half that amount ten years ago. I relive the maintenance that I have had over the past 10 years, plus gasoline, is a lot of $ (oil changes, belts, filters, etc etc). One question I do have is the easy of removing the mower deck to change and sharpen blades? Hoping my Husky lasts the season...but it an adventure each time I crank it up. Thanks for any feedback to my questions/apprehensions.
I agree with you on the EGO products. I own the self-propelled mower, trimmer, hedger, leaf blower, and even a snow blower from EGO. All exceeded my expectations. I've had some going on the 5th season. Still perform fairly well. I have a 60in Bad Boy Maverick to mow my 6.5 acres. It's a true best of a machine. My wife has a smaller 38in Ryobi riding mower that is electric. It is going on its 4th season, and we are experiencing some decline on the battery life. To be fair, it is not Lithium Ion, though. Those batteries are lead acid. I wasn't expecting those to last more than 6 years. I would only buy a battery mower that allows for easy battery removal. The EGO definitely is one that does. I would love to test that steering wheel ZT model. Just because it's odd. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
If you are looking to get 10 years out of the Ego mower I am not sure the batteries will still be enough to cut as much as you have. I believe it comes with 4 batteries so you may need to buy 2 more and they are not cheap. Ego does have a great 5 year battery warranty on the Z6. My oldest Ego batteries are 5 years old and there is about a 10% drop in capacity. I am pleased with Ego batteries so far buy it all comes down to taking care of them.
Had a husqvarna my self for 15 years engine finally gave up, just bought the ego e turn, best money l spent, have 2 Akers and mowed no problem with 4 batteries, have six, got the trimmer and verry happy with it too 😀 😊
Fantastic presentation
Much appreciated 🙏
I'm looking at a barely used Cub Cadet ZT1 42E for a good price but what does "fixed battery" mean?
Now that the Z54LI is $4999, what are your thoughts? I'm contemplating just getting the Z42LI for $3999 but you get only 2 of the 80V and only 2 of the 40V batteries. For $1000 more, you get $1,560 more worth of batteries, a thicker steel deck, and 6 blades/3 motors vs 4 blades/2 motors.
Excellent vid and very helpful! Are any more "big boy" freindly than another? Also, if any are in need of service under warranty, where would one take it?
Most of them would call the manufacturer, and they would set up service for you at an authorized repair shop. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
You should have more views. This is an excellent prepared video.
Nice review. But what about quality of cut????
I know a log of folks that use Dixie Chopper to mow pastures. Does anyone make a battery mower for pastures? Are the pro models good for this use? Perhaps the pro-sumer MeanGreen NEMESIS
I personally use a Bad Boy Maverick mow my field. I have looked into electric mowers that could possibly mow 5 acres and have the build quality of the BB. The only one somewhat affordable was the DR Power. I would love to test the DR Power ZT5E. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Great video and as far for the craftsman which has a fixed battery I wonder how easy it would be to remove a fixed battery during winter storage. As we all know leave a battery outside during the winter months is really bad for them. Any thoughts on how easy it would be to remove the battery for storage would be greatly appreciated thanks.
That I am unsure about. If you do find the answer, please come back and let us know. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Lithium batteries don't care about the weather
@@loveracing1988 apparently you don't know much about batteries. Batteries regarding of being lithium or not do not like the cold. The cold will lower the overall life of and battery. As someone that has left a few batteries outside during the winter verses bring them inside. Let me tell you there is a big difference. Try and start your car on a -20 degree morning and you would understand
Ryobi has a 42" with the toggle arm that is more in line with the others you have listed.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
I’ve been happy with all things lithium from Kobalt. Any idea if they are working on a riding mower, with or without the zero turn? Thank you for this presentation. I did not realize so many models were already available. I am considering Craftsman.
I have not seen or heard of any Kobalt riding mowers. I am sure they will jump on the wave soon, though. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Greenworks makes Kobalts electric push mowers so it would likely be mostly the same as the Greenworks model only Blue
@@fenu3587 interesting. How do we know this? I did purchase the Greenworks tractor!
The Craftsman is made by MTD which also makes Cub Cadet and Yard Machine. I wouldn't spend $6,000 on an electric when Cub Cadet offers so much more for less in the gas model. $4,000 gets you a 24hp Kawasaki and a 54" fabricated 11 gauge deck. That's a way better combo.
I would like to see you compare the Gravely, Mean Green, etc. Thanks for the video!
I will hopefully be making a video on those commercial lines in the near future. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
One guy said in a video he couldn't finish 1.6 acres on his 54" Ryobi zero turn from a full charge with brand new batteries. Blade speed medium, drive speed low, grass wasn't out of control.
I’m in need of a zero turn and my hardest thing to find out is what would be the best one for cutting on slopes. I live on a alligator infested canal and my yard slopes at 20° in some spots
Altoz is the best for traction. Expensive though. Depending on your overall needs and budget, it might be an option. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
The EGO has a suspension seat. I own one. It’s quite plush.
Thx!
You’d be wrong about the con on the EGO. It does have and adjustable suspension seat.
Thanks for watching and commenting! 👍
I think a good video would be talking about required maintenance on zero turn electric mowers for residential use.
What about Bad Boy Magnum E zero turn?
I want the Rahh-yoh-bee! That joystick is interesting.
Ahhh, so you say it... rahh 😁 Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Ego does have an adjustable hydraulic seat suspension. I own one and it rides like a Cadillac. And any battery from all their other tools will run it, so as your charging one set, your out mowing and getting work done. Nice job.
Awesome. What model number is the EGO mower you have? I would love to find the part number on the seat. I have a Bad Boy Maverick with a suspension seat and it was a game charger. The electric mowers are getting better each year. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
EGO Power+ Z6 ZT4204L. Actually..all the zturns from them have it. Including the new one, E steer. Im 220, wife? Less. Lol. We both adjust to our weight.
@markf6932 Thank you, much appreciated 🙏 How does it hold up in really tall grass?
Perhaps I didn't understand what you meant by "no suspension seat" but the EGO zero turns all come with an adjustable air suspension seat... one of the best features of the mower IMO. You don't really see air suspension on almost any residential grade mowers and typically have to spend over $10k+ to find mowers that have it
I did make a mishap on that and will probably catch a lot of heat over that ( rightfully so, though) I agree, the #1 thing I need on a mower is a soft ride. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
I was thinking that same thing. I wish they would drop the price of that Ego to at least $3k. $6 is just to much for a residential zero turn mower. I have 1/2 acre lot and it’s getting tuff on me with my push mower but I’m not about to spend $6k on a mower.
Don't know about the suspension system, as I was sitting still, but the overall comfort of the EGO seat was seductively comfortable: I want one. As for the price, you get what you pay for.
Correct, the Ego has a fantastic suspension seat that is adjustable. As far as the price 6k is right where the competition is so I doubt that will come down as battery zero turns are still somewhat new. I'm they make a smaller 30 for 32 inch then the price may be a little lower but yes you do get what you pay for.
@@jamie8917 At my local Ace Hardware store yesterday, they, the EGO's, now are selling for $5400.00. I currently use a Kubota powered 5' flail mower, Jorgansen brand, commercial quality, all hydrostatic, I got cheap and fixed. It's overkill for my situation, and I think I could make money or break even on selling it, and if I can see my way clear to write off the EGO as "yard maintenance machine for my town business property (which is all gravel) I'm going to get one.
Was this a rating too or just a review? If it was a rating , was the 1st one the best or was it the 6th one ?
It was an introduction video to those mowers and not a rating video. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
While I do appreciate the time and work that went into this and I usually don't give thumbs up to channels I don't belong to, but I will here, for the above.
However, you have only done what I already have is the basic info you find online or on card info displayed with the mowers, that I have, or my eye on two or three of these, I'd like to know what you think about them by actual time spent working with them? That's what I need to know, otherwise this isn't of any help or use to me. Not being mean, just giving you positive feedback to help your channel grow.
I will say that absolutely the prices are ridiculous, same with mobility scooters. I'll give you my reasons here, I'm a ret Firefighter that's disabled, I have a very painful nerve disease, no not neuropathy, lol, I wish, no I have CRPS or what used to be called RSD. I have just enough year front and back to justify a riding mower, and well I don't want all the maintenance and gas getting I used to do when I wasn't disabled, I want a good comfortable electric riding mower. I have a Ryobi, (Rie Oh-Bee not Ree, as you asked lol think it depends on where you are from, I'm originally CA and we all say Ry as in Ryan, and I've found the southern states and eastern south states say Ree-Oh-Bee) battery push mower which I could do, then it's just gotten harder as my disease has progressed in my legs, and I need to replace my old gas mower with an electric riding mower, and if I have to, for the issues I have I'll spend 10k so I can still do what I can to take care of my home and still have my independence, sure I could hire a yard company but that's just an added expense that takes away yet something else I love to do, and I have to wait on them and when they will come or cancel and so on, but if it's something that helps us disabled to maintain our dignity and independence and our mobility to get out and not continue to rott away in bed, then that is my friend how we justify these prices. Not our fault companies make them so damn expensive. Like I said mobility scooters can range from as low as 2k up to 8k and I'm like does it cut grass!!?? Why so much, it's insane, it's a lawn chair four wheels and an electric motor and a battery for Pete's sake, it don't cut grass a cup holder is an expensive option for some dumb reason, and it's because people think you have money when you're old and it's really not the case, so many including myself have to use the electric shopping carts and they always die on you in mid shopping I try to not use them for fear of being stranded but so others can use them, and they look like they were used to find land mines with they're so beaten up, it's sad, the cheapest mobility cart I can find is like $900!!! How can anyone as a company justify these prices be it mobility scooters or mowers is the question. Money and greed. I tell you if a new company started and made good quality mobility scooters and riding mowers for a few hundred bucks they'd a so rich and kill the competition. A good solid product now at cost or less it would make up for it. But no one will do that sadly.
Sorry for the rant thanks for reading, thumbs up and hope you're channel grows and you go further than I can walk.

One thing that would be helpful is to also tell us which lawn mowers qualify for tax credit. Here is the qualification info that I found> Credit is 30% per mower, with a max of $7,500 per lawn mower. The credit is available for sales made beginning Jan. 1, 2023, and the credit sunsets in 2032. These mowers must be less than 14,000 lbs. and have a battery capacity of not less than 7-kilowatt hours.
Good point. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
That is bs for someone that bought one a couple years ago...
Troy bilt XP 42 in. 56-Volt MAX 60 Ah Battery Lithium-Ion Electric Drive Zero Turn Mower
Much appreciated, missed that one. Thanks 👍🏻
the Ryobi has now gone down in price to $6000 which seems a little more fair,
Price is the least important 😀. overall value is.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
I have the John Deere 370r it i have a 10yr on battery
I expect this mower will last several seasons with decent care. czcams.com/users/postUgkx1VWTrayKBdCKAjzAcZ_Eg4dhHTae3LkN also recommend Also, I ran across the problem with it not starting the 2nd time I used it. There is a safety switch which is pushed in by the chute or mulching piece being attached to the deck. I took the cover off and it wouldn't start. Put it back on, no problem. It takes only a minute with 2 easily accessible wingnuts and no tools. This mower starts up first crank each time and it is a joy to use. It also mows in reverse by putting the key to the reverse area after starting and pushing in the triangular button. It will stay in reverse mode until you turn it off. All in all, for my homeowner needs, I really like this mower-and at 70 bucks a cut here in Miami, it's already more than 1/3 paid for itself in a month.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
green works currently at tractor supply for 3999 and advertises suspension seat. That john deer looks so punny at 6500 dollars
Thanks for the heads up! $3999 for this mower is a fair price, in my opinion.
@@lawnBot I like their rap about "adaptive traction control", though I'm not sure what it means! I have some slopes.....
Affirm, correct pronunciation for RYOBI is RYE-OH-Bee.

The 48v Ryobi has the awful lead acid battery. Those do not last long at all. I just ordered the new 80v Ryobi with the stick. That one has the lithium batteries. Lasts much longer.
Awesome! My wife has the 48v version, and we are looking at the 80v for her also. I'm still rocking the Bad Boy Maverick 60". I need heavy duty, but if Bad Boy starts building a Maverick E. I'll be one of their first customers 😁 Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Most Home owners can’t even afford $2K for a zero turn mower. No Home owner will pay $8k for a 0 turn mower to mow say like 1/2 an acre. That is insane.
I agree. Thank you for watching and commenting! 👍
I think the 60v green works for 4k is best right now.
"No" fuel or oil.
Battery platform to walk away from 2 stroke.
With A little thought you should be able to maintain 1-2 acres without major life changes.
When you compare to your new gas at big box stores you're atleast in the ball park
Homeowners will always find $2000 for something if they want something. They’ll spend that on a TV, a couple of phones, cigarettes, a vacation, bicycles, jewelry, a motorcycle, you name it, people will buy it.
And you BSing people when you claim they’ll only mow a half an acre. Most of these will do 3-4 acres.
@@wambam1741 I don’t know how much property people have. I don’t know everyone on this planet. Never said I did know. The Electric mowers I’ve looked at will do 1-2 acres. You can get a gas 0 turn for around the $3K mark and they are made out of steel. These electric mowers seam to be made all out of plastic. They are much cheaper to make so why charge $8K for them? Don’t make any sense.
@@stgraves260 you’re just making up you observations about price, build quality and the pricing. You’re looking at low end machines and falsely giving them high prices
You’re looking at the cheap machines around $3K but claiming they cost $8K which isn’t even remotely accurate.
1-The low priced ones that you’ll seen in places like Lowe’s for $3K will do 1-2 acres. The ones around $6K do 4K
2 - The claim threat are made of entirely plastic, is completely bogus. I’ve owned lots of riding mowers all but one gas and one electric. They’re all made of steel and plastic. They use on. There’s no such things as an all plastic mower. The shroud that goes over the engine or batteries is. The cup holders and the dash are and that’s where it ends.
The cheap mowers have stamped decks. I watched a stamped deck eventually collapse under the weight of the pulley on a gas mower. They use thinner steel on top of that. They have no lectronic feedback and what it.
The more expensive mowers in the 6000 range have a fabricated deck that means thicker steel. That means it was built by hand and welded together.
In fact the entire unit is likely a thicker gauge steel.
Those extra dollars buy more features too like apps for example and more custom settings and a better warranty.
That’s why the higher price tag.
I click on out of curiosity & gave 👍. How many average homeowners can pull that much $ out of their pocket, or do they yell Charge it.
It's hard to see how much everything has skyrocketed over the last couple of years. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
I have the 60v greenworks zero turn 27hrs control arm broke v15 code mower is dead. Be careful
The Ego does have a suspension seat, l had to buy one, California, but one of the best mowers I've owned
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Lowe’s has a 42” John Deer 20HP zero turn for $3200. Model z315e. It’s gas but it’s also half the price. I’m not saying gas is better or worse, I’m just say electric is not worth twice the price. Husqvarna z254 54” deck 26HP Kohler zero turn for $3400. Then you have the Arienis Icon 52” for $4300 and the Arienis Edge 52” for $3700. There are just better mowers out there for half the price than an electric.
Sure, but this video wasn't based on the best overall mowers out there, it was based on Best Electric Zero Turns under X dollars. Some people want to ditch the gas altogether and this was to introduce them to the options they have. Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍
With the Deere, you mentioned a "con" as being that it's a stamped deck... If you're using an electric mower, you probably don't need to be mowing stuff that would require a fabbed deck. After working on mowers for years, I've come to the conclusion that practically no consumer mower should have a fabbed deck because people will use them like a brush cutter rather than a lawn mower.
All that said, I've yet to see an electric ztr that's reasonably priced.
I'm a fan of fabricated decks. So, for me, a stamped deck is a con. Others might not see it that way. You're probably right, though, when it feels heavy duty people use it as heavy duty 🤣 Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
@@lawnBot better deck? Sure.
But how many home owners will wear out a stamped deck...
Which is more "heavy duty", stamped or fabbed? I'm looking at different mowers for commercial use.
@TopFitnessStrategies You want a fabricated deck. 10 gauge or better. My Bad Boy Maverick has a 7 gauge deck. It's very heavy. The new Bad Boy Rogue has 3 gauge. That's 1/4 in of solid steel. Heavy Duty for sure. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
I'll never buy another stamped deck until I move to a golf course lawn.
How can you forget about the ego zero turn with a steering wheel?
I didn't forget it... See @ 6:04 ... Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
You got me! I stopped watching after the last review (or what I thought was the last one.)@@lawnBot
@jf6720 😂 It happens. If they put a 52" or 54" fabricated deck on that, it would probably be the top of my list.
Thanks for the info...fyi I believe the 58v Ryobi at the end is a lead acid battery...probably the reason for the reduced price.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
P.S. Ry-oh-bee
Thx!
8000 lol 😆
The old ryobi's don't have lithium batteries in them they're just let acid and the ego does not give you enough batteries to mow to the max acreage that they claim that's extra
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Do not buy an electric ZT unless you have money to burn. The non-joystick Ryobi's are already bricks with awful batteries. The Cub Cadet is a complete piece of junk. The Deere's are not made by Deere. EGO seems good at first but you'll run into issues with the motors shutting down to "protect themselves". Currently have the 54" joystick Ryobi which is very easy to drive, but the software is crap and I've already had to replace one of the $900 batteries within the first month. 80% chance it's getting returned.
The technology just isn't there yet.
Thanks for sharing. It's always good to hear from the actual owners of all different brands. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Who makes the John one, I’ve been trying to find out?
The Cub Cadet is a complete piece of junk? That statement means nothing if you can't back it up. Please explain, or else apologize to Cub Cadet!
Ryobi is a steaming pile. Greenworks is the leader with best motors and controllers and price.
Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍
Another con of the Greenworks, you have to change the gear box oil after 50 hours and every 200 hours afterwards.
Ahhh, thanks for the input. 👍🏻
A minor detail, and generally speaking, gears are better than belts.
I paid 2K for a used commercial Husqvarna 61" ZTR 20 years ago and it's still going. No way would I buy one of these high priced wonders with expensive batteries that will need replacing at some point.... Electric is cool but not yet
Can't find a commercial mower for 2k in this economy now. My bad boy Maverick is close to close to 8k now. Insane how much everything inflated. I mow over 6 acres, so gas and maintenance adds up pretty fast, too. If they make a Bad Boy Maverick E, I'd switch without thinking about it. My wife has an electric Ryobi, and 4 years after buying it new, we have had zero issues with it. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
I don't disagree with you but we may not have a choice before long. Battery is where the market is going and it won't be long before states start requiring it (like CA). I prefer battery for maintenance reasons along with many other people and that seems to be enough for many people to pay a lot more money. I don't think much of anything is built like it used to be.
Very poor comparison. Didnt even mention the built in batteries as a con, which it clearly is
Thanks for the feedback. I will include that in my next one.
The cos for the John Deere is that it's made by a soulless company. I don't care if they offered it damn near for free, I would never support that company.
They are all over priced junk go ahead buy them up I work on them everyday
Positive side of this equation is that you have a steady line of work.
I have a 60v zero turn 27hrs handle broke off and v15 code mower is dead. Cut nice but no satisfaction from seller.
@TractorChatter
Quite frankly, idiotic review criteria. Critiquing mowers with 42" decks saying they only have 2 blades. Of course they do! They are 42"! Review offers no real-world experience just comparing a few specs. Nothing on controls, charging times, ease of maintenance, quality of cut.
