I'm not personally a fan of electric larger mowers but as quiet as they are i can see their applications.
Man I’ll tell ya…they’re impressive! 8 hours run time!
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer thats fine. I still prefer a old diesel garden tractor
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer how much are they?
Last winter I bought an electric 2-stage snowblower. My old 5 horse gas was pretty worn and I just got tired of nursing it along. The electric has battery duration limitations, but I have learned how to economize on battery usage. In my application the electric snowblower is a perfect fit. And it is very quiet. That’s sure a big plus for those 5:00 AM jobs.
My husband would love any one of those mowers! Also, the instant speed from the electric ones is impressive.
Less maintenance but keep battery maintenance during winter
With battery equipment, I wonder if we need to rethink the "bigger is better" philosophy that seems to have become common in farm equipment manufacturing. We can add cover crops from autonomous drones now. How many years until we have self-propelled, automated seed drills running on battery power? Would they have to be as big as what everyone's running today? Maybe a system where you let two or three work together in a field and they send an alert and location when they need more seed.
I agree with your thought process.....but here's the driving factor. PEOPLE WANT IT TO BE CHEAP AND EASY!! Food in this country has to be CHEAP!! Imagine planting 3000 acres with a 6ft planter...it's not gonna happen my friend. So..it's not a trend towared "bigger is better" it's a trend toward reduced manpower, efficiency and effectiveness. If we're gonna feed a nation a bunch of soy/corn garbage and call it cheap food....subsidized by the gov't...then we gotta have large machines to get the job done. I grow enough microgreens here for my consumption on the farm, costs me $100 per year to do it on my own...without a tractor. It's about efficiency my friend...the factory farm industrialized food industry in this country. Folks spend $200 on a fancy bottle of bourbon, $150 on dinner out with the family....but complain when grass fed beef costs 1/3 more.....and go buy preservative filled fried potato chips!
@StoneyRidgeFarmer I should re-phrase that. As far as battery and automated technology goes, is that balance of efficiency, cost, etc. going to be smaller but faster units or multiple units working together, or is it still going to be larger units? I don't see batteries powering combines or tillage equipment, but I could see them powering automated versions of smaller seed drills such as the no-till drill that showed up in your videos about 5 years ago.
Yea, those toro mowers are the way to go! I have talked to a lot of commercial mowing company’s, toro is a favorite!❤
I’ve tried out the Toro Grandstand Revolution here in Mowssouri and I was impressed with it. I thought the Toro 4000 Series was really nice. That machine would be perfect for what I mow. Great video man. Good to see you in TORO country!
Have a product demonstration event, remember to invite Josh. You never know what'll happen, but a lot of fun is on the way.
Funny, I found your channel looking up farm stuff, and found dirt monkey researching retaining walls. Two excellent sources of wisdom. It’s like watching celebrity roast haha
Awesome, thank you!
They have an electric zero turn at EBYS just outside of Hagerstown, MD. It's a $36,000 mower. I only paid 4k for my 54 inch Hustler Raptor.
I am actually impressed with how far the battery stuff has come.
me too
Drive & mow your trails with Toro loaner mower deck show them why your Cattle ranch it called Stoney Ridge Farmer bovine experience lol
Do they have rock chip & dull hardened blades?
Sure glad you got to go to the tool show they sure have some cool stuff
I would like to try the electric for a bit with 8 hr runtime. I haven’t used the more ride system, do you find it harder to keep the lines straight because your body is moving around separately?
Nice beard. 😉 Enjoy your day. 🐮
I would love to test that for toro.
Looks like a fun time out at the Toro event!
it sure was!
I just wish that TORO would have installed "Ribbed AG" tires to the front casters for better turning traction...
remember, the rear wheels are for traction...the front just supports the mower as a caster my brotha
Josh Josh welcome to MINNESOTA love ya man been watching you for years!
awesome!
Great mowers awesome video I've been subscribed for about 2 months keep up the good work Josh!!!👍👍👍
Take one of each!
dude! Me too!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I would love to have one of those electric mowers just looked up the cost of the big walk behind 35,000 little too rich for me sticker shock is hard to get used to.
commercial equipment cost big bucks.....but some municipalities and states are going all electric.....I'm sure the cost will settle down once the technology catches up
Hey Josh thank you for the video Woo
What ? Dirt Monkey not looking at their snowblowers
This would prolly be ok in areas where grass doesn’t grow much. In Michigan the grass is insane. No way electric could handle it.
sweet
Wonder how long the electrics last? My last gas rider lasted 20 years. The grass that gets cut on here is not very high.
I do believe the battery life has a 5 or 6 year residential warranty....but you'd need to go to TORO.com to look it up....it's amazing how many leaps and bounds this technology has taken in the past few years!
Good mowers but I like the Gravely mowers over Toro. Just my preference.
I like the toro, but maybe sometime we'll try Gravely
The big market for electric lawnmowers are organisations who need to say they are doing their bit to save the planet.
Wish they would pay tribute to Wheel Horse.
Here we go again…
so funny how I can show ya what the future is bringing and folks reject it as political .....I guess when farmers used mules and oxen to plow they thought tractors were stupid too lol
Andrew camarata can do a test , lets if it will survive 😂
yep....I like his vids...but he doesn't take care of things like I do...that's just part of his content....beat on it till it breaks lol...push, pull and drag!
I guess these guys must be Toro dealers
these guys are influencers/creators participating in a field day put on by Toro ...it's a pretty fun thing!
How much for that..$$
I honestly can't tell which is worse for the environment. Gas or Electric. Charging takes Fuel. Mining the raw materials is scary. Recycling the batteries seems iffy. Battery life is suspect. I want to like electric, but my battery tools perform well out of the box and then slowly decline. So much so that I had to go back to a gas weed eater after 3 electric weed eaters over the past 8 years. Same with my 80V leaf blowers. I just use my blowers to blow off 1 driveway a couple of times per week. I can't imagine a commercial application.
8 hours run time and costs $40,000. I cant imagine how much a landscaper would charge in order to get an ROI then make profit. what a joke
let's see....when ya mow for a living and you have no down time for maintenance, oil changes and or if ya mow places like apartment complexes you can charge a premium for all electric machinery...it's not a joke, it's what's coming in the future my friend....technology is advancing. Average cost to mow a yard in a subdivision is $100....mow 20 in a day...I think you can see the ROI...mow a 10 commercial properties at $300 each in a day....pays for itself in less than a month my friend...then no more fuel stops, oil changes ect
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Ill be waiting to see when you run an all electric fleet
Intro too long and Toro payed a dumb ass engineer to make a bunch of models when you only need 2 or 3, 2 for home and one pro. It took too long to explain even one.
