  • Опубликовано: 13 апр 2021
  • Fiskars StaySharp Max Reel Mower with electric conversion using Ryobi 40V drive system. Metal plate and brackets from Lowes, swapped gears around, added chain tensioner from Amazon with some modifications, new chain and made to custom length, added a conveyor roller for the front.
    I have the self propel items and will be adding that soon.
    This is just a demo for now but will be working to make a polished version and try out other brand electric drive systems.
    Demo is at about a .75 inch cut. Lawn has not been leveled. This mower was used to scalp lawn from about 2 inches to the .75 with no issue and is now maintaining the lawn every 3-4 days with now issues. Have run it several times across the entire 10,000 square foot lawn.
    When we aren't making vehicles look great we work on our Lawn Game.

    What is the purpose of the conveyor roller? Just a wheel or is it too push the grass forward so the reel catches it or something?

    I have two of those Fiskars mowers too and would be very interested in how to convert them also. I have a lot of Ryobi 18 volt+ tools and lawn equipment. I got a really good deal on the 40 volt self propelled 21 in rotary mower which it looks like you used the parts from in the conversion.

      I did use the 40 volt from a 21. I was thinking of trying an 18 on the next one to see if it is strong enough.

      @@justdrivedetailing3900 I had a Ryobi 18 volt+ 16 inch mower I gave to my daughters for their small yard. The 18 volt+ mower will run on a single 18 volt Ryobi battery but runs much better with more power on two batteries. One battery may be the right amount of power just to spin the cutting reel. Have been thinking about trying to convert the Fiskars mowers for several years with one of my Ryobi hand tools and just found you video. Your solutions seems straight forward and easier. Great Job!!!!! Thanks for posting the video.

    Can you dona video on the front roller you have on there? I've been wanting to remove the front wheels for a couple seasons now.

      I saw from the other video that it is a conveyor roller.
      Looking at thee Ryobi handlebar controls, they appear to be zip tied to the Fiskars handlebar. I'm assuming they are a slightly different width?

    Could I get some detailed pics of this? I have the same reel mower and just acquired a ryobi 40v mower from my brother in law for free with no batteries. I think I am gonna make my own battery pack out of 18650 lipo batteries so I can have enough amp hours to do my entire lawn.

      @@treywertz ok thanks. I will try to make some time tomorrow. I just got two more Fiskars to make a couple more mowers so I can start working those as well and I will do a better job at documenting what I do. But I'll get some pictures of what I have tomorrow for you.
