The Ryobi is interesting too. But because I have so many ego tools already makes sense for me. Plus I do this for a living so I need the best thing in my budget. But RYOBI is making good equipment these days and he would probably save about 10 to 20% on the overall cost
@@stevemellinger3776 I couldn’t agree more Steve. Thank you for watching if you have any suggestions for me let me know I’m not a professional RUclipsr I’m just a guy running a small business and learning how to turn it electric on a budget. I’m also a homeowner so of course I’m using this equipment at my own house to experiment. If there’s any contact you guys would like to see let me know if there’s any reviews especially of ego stuff that you would like to know see let me know. I do still have some gas equipment I’m replacing each piece one by one as I can afford to do so. Please check out the other videos!
@@ThunderandLightningEvPickup I hear ya. Bought my last gas mower and on the third year it wouldn't start. Enter Ego. I happened upon a video, didn't even know battery mowers were out there. Liked the look of the older Ryobi rider, but through research, found they had battery problems. The new ones are using lithium now but I just don't think the quality is the same. Only my opinion. My Z6ZT 42" . Still amazed that four batteries can power the beast. Good luck to you and your business.
@@stevemellinger3776 awesome. My goal is to prove that it can be done and replace any and all other lawn care equipment. The zero turn was a huge step the chainsaws and hedge trimmers are impressive though they’re not quite equal to their other professional rivals. However I’m sure that’s just around the corner. The other thing that needs to improve is the blowers they are great for blowing off walkways and I’m so impressed with the 765 CFM handheld blower that I have but if you’re blowing wet leaves for cleanups you’re gonna need over 1100 CFM‘s and over 200 miles of wind speed. But I have a guest that is just around the corner…
How does the 52" do on hills? The 42" works... till it doesn't. I can't tell if its the tires or the weight or both but I got like no hill confidence with the 42" unless it's straight up and straight down.
To be honest it’s better than the 42. But it’s not great. If you get a head start no problem. I think it’s the tires and the fact that’s it’s surprising light compared to it’s gas counter parts.
@@ThunderandLightningEvPickup I think the lack of tread is the biggest problem. I get why Ego did it to protect the drivetrain but I've already yeeted the 42" into a couple of things without any damage but the confidence isn't there. I wonder if its a common enough tire size that people can find more aggressive treads.
I’m thinking about getting that ego or the new ryobi 80 volt when it comes out👍🏾
I would recommend the Ego over the Ryobi. Do plenty of research.

@@TomsPropertyCare I’m curious too. Like maybe a tractor tread? Or just bigger tires for more surface areas?
@@ThunderandLightningEvPickup I wonder if tirerack carries them or if murdochs has any replacements. Must investigate...
@@TomsPropertyCare if you find anything out let me know!
