Brutally testing a new Mower - the First of its Kind
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 дек 2020
- This is the First mower like it- let's test it on 11 foot tall switch grass with swamp, brush, sticks, & THICK wet grass. Its Ego's z6 Zero turn uses the same batteries in their tools. Plus we run test, speed test, share pricing, and blade controls.

im paralyzed and would love one of these for a off road wheelchair.
you might be onto something!
That would be WayFrinken cool!! center gravity, I wonder if you can remove the mowing deck? Then you would have more ground clearance, And they make rear bumper ramps for pickups.
Heck of a lot cheaper than off road wheel chairs. Plus these can use the 10amp batter for even more juice I believe. The deck does come off btw.
@@Todd66 Heck yah way cheaper and a lot more durable. I use to be in the DME world (Durable Medical Equipment) A specialized chair will start out at at least 12,000 most go for upwards around 20 to $30,000. Any idea how the blades work? Do they run off of Belts or motors and how thick are the blades?
@@garyeisele2810 unfortunately I do not. I just stumbled onto this video and when I read the comment I thought it was brilliant idea. I do know the whole deck comes off from watching a different video. The possibilities are endless with this thing if someone is willing to get creative. I imagine those batteries will last a lot longer when not using the blades.
“Impressive “ is an understatement!! I stopped by their booth at GIE the day I met you coming out of the building.. they are by FAR a head of the game in my opinion. Absolutely outstanding review on this mower @Stan!! Stay blessed and Merry Christmas brother!!
Oh wow! Thanks for the compliment and Merry Christmas!
I saw one the other day at my local lawn mower shop . Thanks for making this video man . It answers alot of questions i had about it that the sales people could not answer at the time.
I'm going to be honest I'm I've looked at this mower before personally and the fact that you tested it I'm definitely getting it now so I appreciate you for that 💯💯
Thanks for doing this video. I'm waiting on the 52" model to come in. I was worried I'd have to baby this thing. You're the ONLY one I've found to really push this thing!
How do you like it?
I love how quiet it is. I used to mow for a living and I can tell you that the sound causes fatigue. I drove a 72” diesel kubota and a smaller Grasshopper with a Vtwin, both were pretty loud with the RPMs up. All day on a electric mower would not even compare to gas or diesel in that aspect.
I would love to drive this thing and see what it was like. I think it needs to go quicker in reverse. Looked slow af in reverse.
Awesome video

y didnrt use ear proteciton
@@randomrazr I ALWAYS use ear protection along with all other PPE. Not only did I prefer it, but OSHA mandates it. I ride a motorcycle and prefer to wear hearing protection for anytime I am riding out of town. And that’s with a helmet.
Thank you so much for doin a real test on this mower...I got a cheap corded more last year for $100 thinking it would be a pile of crap...turns out that it's pretty much the best mower I have ever had...literally plug and play. Same with electric chain saws...never though it would be worth a damn for the cheap price (corded)....but the mazing torque on the electric stuff make fast work of things...and no cleaning carbs, replacing spark plugs, winterizing, adding gas, changing oil...making a mess.
When I saw one of these zero turn mowers in Lowes I was like "that's pretty cool" but such a heavy price tag for an average consumer to venture into the unknown. TY for this video once again.
I am thoroughly impressed I just purchased a bad boy MZ Magnum 54 in last week and an ego weed eater today which is what led me to this video now I'm kind of wishing I got this LOL. Excellent video thorough testing and I appreciate it greatly it's amazing to see how far battery operated yard equipment has come
The realest and rawest review I have seen of this product
Ego stuff has been amazing, so far I have their lawnmower, snowblower, weed wacker and edger, not one tool or battery has failed in 4 years of use. No maintenance at all other than changing mower blades.
How bout now
@@thomas25082 Same, still going strong all my batteries and tools.
Oh my! I've got just about everything Ego - they've been appearing here in Australia, I had no idea they made this. Now I really want one, and there are none to be found... yet! Thanks so much ~ this was exactly what I wanted to see.
I know I’ve already commented but I had to come back and watch this again. What an amazing review and proof of a great mower.
Can’t wait to order one locally. Thanks again !
I hope you like it and thanks for always tuning in .
I've been using Ego branded products for years
The self propelled lawn mower, chainsaw and hedge trimmer...
Man the convenience of swappable batteries makes life so easy
So far none of them has failed me yet lol
Compared to pour a little gas ?
@@alanworstell7930 Compared to messing with gas, carbs, airfilters, oil, plugs, pull cords....Hell yeah there's a big difference. I'll never go back. One big surprise for me was lack of vibration from reciprocating engine, a real bonus, and of course much reduced racket matters.
I too have used for around a decade, did burn up my 10 or 12 yr old chainsaw last yr, I was overworking it and repeatedly stalling in heavy hardwood, (replaced with same) and one battery died young. But I hit a 3" diameter 3/8" thick steel pipe in the tall weeds HARD with push mower--stopped it cold but didn't seem to faze it, guarantee it would have bent or broken the crankshaft of my old Honda mower. I got tired of messing with all the issues with gas powered, NEVER go back.
Might add: Also have hedge trimmer and leaf blower, all 4 units have been highly satisfactory with a few quibbles that I suspect have been mostly corrected, mainly the "turbo button" on blower is rubbish and I use it most of the time....from images it looks like they changed that. Mower batt door latch is annoying and it would be nice to have the spring loaded catch bag door have an open holder.
Merry early Christmas Stan! Have a safe and healthy holiday! Love the videos and can’t wait for more snow plowing
Merry early Christmas to you as well! much love!
Absolutely mind blowing performance. Ego has definitely changed the game to very best level by far and will keep on doing so. By end of this year we will have full line of Ego gear. If this mower lands in Australia, we are grabbing it. These are next generation of high performance outdoor tools. Rigid, Light, Compact and Environmental Friendly. It’s a win win for all. Great test and honest review! Keep it up👍
Absolutely the most comprehensive review and demo of the EGO's capabilities. But here I am two years later and the EGO ZT4205S (steering wheel equipped) has just recently come out (not to mention the 52" EGO with lap bars. ) I'm ready to retire my 22 horse Craftsman gas mower and my only reluctance in switching to batteries is because of a number of reviews from users that have had issues with battery longevity. Like many other subscribers, Stan I would love to see any follow up on the EGO journey.
This is by far my favorite review of this new mower. I want to see it pushed to the edge of its capabilities. Amazing that an electric can do all of this. Stanley, how about a follow-up review of how this stands up over time if you are still using it? Also not covered it what else can you do with this expensive mower? I think there is a hitch connection at the back. Are there any attachments you can hook up to the front or back? Like perhaps a plow in winter, leaf vacuum?? That would be an added benefit for this investment. Thanks
Hello Stanley, I’m a dealer for EGO products. You’re video has been great! Very informative for the average customer to see what this mower will do! I did want to let you know that the unit only comes with 4 10AH battery with the option to add the other two! Again, great video 👍🏼
Where can I buy one, right now? Is it possible?
@@JasonCarmichael if you haven’t found them, saw them at Lowe’s this week:
@@joeyware3619 I saw someone show a pic of one at their Lowes in the Facebook EGO page. I called my local Lowes and not yet here. .
i'm so excited, waiting for my gas mower to kick the bucket so i can go with this. already have almost all the other ego tools. question for you boss, what about towing? i already have a wagon attachment and a bagger for my gas mower. can i use those? i honestly use my mower more for hauling rocks, dirt, and pavers up my sloped yard than mowing grass...
@@joeyware3619 I got the first one at the local Lowes. By coincidence I bought it 10 minutes(online) after they listed it in their inventory, and I had it in my possession 10 minutes later. The manager said they just finished assembly 20 minutes ago. :)
I consider this mower Ideal for older people. My neighbor is 72 years old still mows his own yard. He uses a Diesel JD Lawn Tractor. But I showed him this video Stan and he is also very impressed with this mower!
Its perfect for anyone that wants to mow grass but not work on a Mower.
Great review as always. Always great when someone is willing to put tools through its ringer when others would never dare to.
You also made a great point re other battery commercial mowers costing $20k +.
At $5k for this EGO, it’s quite cost effective.
This is coming from a homeowner and not a lawn care company.
Thank again.....
Good, honest review! I wouldn't buy one but it definitely has a place in someone's garage!
Fair enough!
AWESOME. POWER BEYOND BELIEF!
Yes indeed!
rofl
I'm a Dealer for Ego, Toro, and RedMax, I ordered some of these Mowers 1 of which is for myself and I can't wait until these things get here! I'm pumped I've ran one as well. they are amazing. I was a Commercial Lawncare guy for years and I doubted the power of all the Ego line at first. I'm 100% battery operated for my personal tools now. They have made a believer out of me!
@Paul Robinson LOL I will man I just got Conformation today that our Dealership orders are being shipped March 1, and the second round of mowers we ordered will be shipped May 1. They only allocated 400 mowers for the private dealers. so we are definitely going to be behind the 8 ball when it comes to the little guy getting supply. Lowe's and Ace are trying hard to corner the market. Regardless Ego is some Awesome stuff. We don't cut commercially anymore, but we have sold hand held Ego Products to quite a few commercial guys in our area. They all love the blowers and the Multitool. If you decide to fully take the plunge into the Ego Ecosystem you won't be disappointed.
#TIA Crew where you at on this review!!! I'm surprised you didn't get one!!! hahahaha! I love my ego equipment!
You are the greatest reviewer of this mower on RUclips at this point in time. How awesome! You rock… Thank you
Wow, thanks!
Thanks for the preview. I'm very excited about the future of battery powered equipment. I wouldn't have a problem with higher entry cost, but I also need proven longterm durability.
It is sold at Ace. And said proudly at that. We’ve been selling Ego for a couple year and it has impressed me.
Very cool!
I work at home depot and was mildly upset when HD stopped selling ego. The Ego back pack blower is leaps and bounds better than ryobi 40 volt back pack. Someone actually went out and bought a replacement battery for the ego blower when it died. (we don't like to sweep). The 40 VS 56 volt shouldn't make that much difference that the 40 volt is embarrassing to use.
Sad thing is that ryobi is made by the same company as Ridgid and Milwaukee which are fantastic tools.
Thanks for the video Stan ,now I’m watching from Australia ,and I’ve been looking at electric zero turn mowers for a while,but i would like to see it charge from solar power,making it nearly free to operate,as a farmer only has one income stream per year
Of course! That sounds like an amazing idea actually.
Great test demonstration! Pro tip 436: I mow hilly, wet, clay….challenging terrain about 50 of these lawns per week. Because getting a 800 lb zero turn stuck is no fun and a 4x4 rescue truck is not always possible, I have mounted 3500 lb 4 wheeler winches on the front of my Toros. Can get unstuck in minutes, also when a mower dies in the back yard, you can winch your way onto the trailer, it can take a few minutes but the customer’s lawn stays good and one man gets the job done! Harbor Fright winch will save a lot of headaches.
Awesome review! I love my EGO products and this will be the next on my list. Right now we have an Ego push mower but I'm really thinking next year I'll start the summer off with a brand spanking new Z6. Again.... Thanks for the great and fun to watch review!
That’s an impressive mower! Also I noticed it has back up lights that flash when you’re in reverse, never seen a mower with that either
I didn't see that either. Thanks for pointing it out.
What's really cool is for the late evening/night mowers. (Yes I saw a dude mowing his yard once at 11pm in rural nw penslvania 🤣) there's 360 led lights. So not only do you have the front lights you've got lights on each side plus the back side! Really cool. Sometimes when you work alot and may have company coming over in the morning. Gotta get it done 😂
Hey guys , I have a question. I really want one of these mowers and ready to pull the trigger but would you guys be scared of the stamped and not fabricated cutting deck ? It looks like a cheep deck compared to a comparable gas mower . Thanks
I love that at 12:48 Stan tries to put on an imaginary seat belt..
😂👍
It’s a nice mower, we have had one for 4 months in our shop. Really great for homeowners and as tech evolves it will get become good for commercial as well. The steering and 3 modes are about the best I have driven with the closed response to a traditional hydro machine. Most of the others brands slow to respond to inputs, and then overly sensitive once activated”. The control mode is especially nice for new operators to learn on.
Totally agree! That control mode lets you get in tight and careful.
I am impressed... nice job showing the capabilities...I like to see a new product really tested....I mean REALLY tested. Excellent
I'm impressed with what I've seen so far. What about grades such as ditches? Traction is important too!
I just got my 52" Z6 and it really zooms up my steep barn bank without breaking a sweat.
EGO is top tier engineering IMO. It's amazing what advancement can be made when your designing machinery that is not constrained by the limitations of an internal combustion engine.
Thanks for the seriously honest evaluation without all the “sales speak”. We have some property in northern CA that has similar challenges to what you were cutting so, based on your show, we probably buy an EGO. Good job on the video.
Great to see a well priced battery zero turn with good performance. Smart features too. A few years go I built a 40" cut walk behind using two Greenworks 80v motor/blades. Battery mowers have come a long way.
Now they have- before this- not so much
⭕⭕ Stan, your first snowfall I watched in shorts. Yesterday, we got our first snowfall and I'm watching you mowing. Now that's the difference between Minnesota and Delaware. Great show as always. Excellent review. 👍👍
Thats just a weird coincedence.
So...is this what I should have expected when I bought "demoed" equipment?
Depends who demo'd it lol
You got that quick! I just got the sneak peek on it. Just need 2 more $700 batteries 😆 that new 10ah battery is a game changer!
just don't buy one after I demo it haha
@@Dirtmonkey lol!
I did a bad boy revolt worse than this that demo saved my friends yard his mower broke first mow of the season grass was 5ft tall and we had 2 days of rain before i got the demo with you guess dull blades now i can't lie i would have definitely bought that demo 😂
Wow. Never expected an electric lawnmower to perform so well! With many people looking for sustainable options these days, this lawnmower will be a great pick for price and performance by the looks of it.
Thanks for sharing!
Great point! thanks
Ego has really changed the game in landscaping and snow removal.this has much changed my mind on electric tools always been a bad boy mowers fan, great decks and very strong got one that is 14 years old and still mow the lawn every time with it. But,thank you for showing us this you’ve changed my mind on electric equipment
And Stan never backs down or goes easy on a review keep up the great work
Thanks for sharing
And Stan have you ever tried bad boy?
Wow. I’m really impressed with this thing! Looks fantastic tbh.
You and me both!
I'm really impressed with the ego stuff
is your favorite ego?
I'm slowly bought a lot of Ego equipment over the last year and yes it's pricey but it is just very well built and can take everything you pretty much through at it run time is good charge time is good
Really liked this video. No hedging. I like your attitude toward the video production. If EGO doesn't give you some sort of compensation for this..they're crazy!
That was a real deal test ....... I’m sure EGO loves your “testing”. Thank you again, Stanley!!
Very welcome. Appreciate having you along on the channel!
@@Dirtmonkey I enjoy your posts ...... I learn a little too! Happy Holidays my Northern Brother!! 🇺🇸
Good job testing that mower Stan, I just have a feeling it isn't going to hold up well over the years. My Toro 50 inch zero turn with the Kawasaki engine has been doing good for 7 years now. Only replaced the spindle bearings once.
kawaski engines are amazing. But I do feel this mower will hold up- but of course Im not 100% sure since I haven't tested that.
Less vibration and moving parts in the electric mower, will probably last longer than a gas mower.
I love how quiet it is and the power of it.
its odd seeing it run but not hearing anything.
Nice Mower and I was surprised by the power. Well done Stan. Keep up the hard work and thanks for the content stay safe and take care
Thanks, you too hayden-always nice to see you back for another video.
@@Dirtmonkey No problem Stan and thank you and it’s nice to see you and your crew in the videos too. Thanks for always making nice comments and making awesome content. Hope you all are doing well
It is so cool to see these awesome battery products hitting the market. Great video 👍
Thanks for watching!
I'm so glad you did the donut test. I'd be wondering. :) Curious, do you happen to know if it can be rained on?
Wonder when they will show up online at Lowe's? Getting one as soon as they do if no one beats me too it. Thanks for the review, this this is bad a$$!
I think they are coming soon.
I ordered one. Be next month before i get it. Amazed what it could do. Im just glad i didn't abuse like you but glad to see what it could take🤠👍
My boyfriend and I look forward to all your videos! Thanks for the content!
Glad you like them! and thanks for coming back for more. Appreciate it
Wonder how it performs on inclines, and where the threshold is before you need to worry about losing traction or rolling?
Probably 11% incline. Typical for all zero turns
I kinda like this idea, no more oil changes, no more spilling gas or waiting at the gas station. Now I just want to see a 2 year use of one of these in our field
I'm with you- will they hold up long term.
Impressive as hell I truly didn't think it had all of that capability and honestly durability. Blows my mind what battery powered vehicles in general are capable of. Great video.
Thank you!
That's an awesome mower. I hope something similar is available when I get my own house someday!
I'm sure there will be this or an even newer version of it when your ready.
Great! I'm sure there's HOAs all over California adding this machine into the rules as the only one useable.
Probably
F the HOA
Looks like a great mower, except for the pressed deck. Hopefully they will come out with a fab deck one day.
I was thinking the same thing, I'm sure of this takes off they will make a more commercial grade option I'll almost bet
We shall see
That wake you up in the morning Thanks Stanley😎🤙Merry Christmas 🎅
merry Christmas Glenn!
New subscriber here. I am so happy I found your channel. I just bought me a Ego 21 inch battery powered mower. 56 volts one hour use out of that battery to. It worked so good.
You should do along term review see how the run time is after the batteries age
The good thing is you can just buy more Ego battery packs. Helps keep the mower from getting obsolete.
Thanks for video. I hope you do the new 54" ryobi zero coming out this spring. Manufactured deck on it, not stamped.
I hope so too but I haven't heard from them so I don't know.
Incredible demonstration.
I agree the multiple battery system is the way to go. When I'm trail blazing I get the chute to throw cuttings out and away from the next cut. Your piling on approach really showed off the power this deck has.
I wonder how the 48" or 56" unit is going to compare when they come out
Thanks
This video convinced me to buy it, got it today. Its awesome, it was already assembled.
You leave that around the yard for very long Frankie will have that out on a job site haha
Franky would have it modded into a swamp buggy if I left it around to long
This is definitely weird seeing the mower move but not hearing it move 🤷♂️🤣
It took some getting used to for sure. hahah
Nice but around where I work on a child and kid campus not a great asset . Could be a little too dangerous . Again nice for zero emissions but this machine could put mechanics out of work . Then what ? Batteries like that can not be cheap . What about spinals blades etc... .
@@Chaomhainn Mechanics are still going to have to work on this there's still a lot more moving parts literally the only thing they got rid of is the gas engine which if you take care of it anyways it shouldn't be going to a mechanic that much. as far as being safe for kids that comes down to the operator you should be paying attention as an operator to where people are around you
@@JonsDailyHustle unlike electric cars that are almost completely silent. Electric Mowers are actually still loud. The blade/fan makes a lot of noise.
@@Chaomhainn Plug a bluetooth speaker into it and blast AC/DC if you're worried about noise. It's easier to get louder than quieter.
Great video sir. Love my walk behind EGO Mower.
This is awesome. I'm ready to go with this mower. Waiting for Ego to come up with an ATV. I use my atv with trailer for my acreage maintenance daily (astride 4-wheeler) and start it about 20+ times a day moving around to different areas, so battery would be a no brainer.
Fr! An electric atv will sell like hot cakes 🔥
I love that you beat the crap out of everything you review..lol
and I love beating the crap out of other people's equipment! haha
What's the over all weight compared to a standard mower?.... wondering if that is the reason it didn't get stuck in the muddy areas
The manual specs it at 408 pounds without batteries. I’d guess 450 with batteries or thereabouts.
under 500 lbs I believe
That’s your Christmas sorted you were having a ball with that brilliant machine.👍👍👍
Yes it was- it was a blast to run!
Stan i will be buying the ego zero turn i have all there equipment
Love the push mower so quiet with a clean cut . You just gave me a reason to spend my money on a new toy plus i just got a 20×12 shed
Right on! Let me know what you think of it after youve had a chance to run it.
It looks kind of cool. Never have a carb gum up again.
your right- no more worries like that!
Or have a diesel powered mower.
@@kdegraa - Don't have to buy fuel, oil, spark plugs, air filters, or fuel filters either!
Oh no, not the swamp. So you're going to be taking it to Washington DC. 😉
True
😂👊
He’d have to follow the Narcissistic Pathological Lying Draft Dodger all the way to Mar-a- Lago and that would take too long👍😉
@@maddeusdoggeus1 better bring extra batteries!
The info in this video is so useful. The place I work sells these and this is gonna be so useful!!
awesome!
That EGO is one tough mower. I used to believe mowers like this were fragil. You sure proved me wrong. I wish I could have seen the blades after you were done.
I never knew that I wanted an electric rider mower until now that is super cool
and its a blast to do doughnuts on!
It certainly looked like it that thing could buggie
The “Tesla” of garden tools!
True
@@Dirtmonkey How loud is it compared to gas?
had to watch this twice, great coverage of different types of grass and putting this thing to a test. love the non-chopped continuous video stream
Excellent Riding Mower. Good luck with your new mower .8/14/2021
Only Stanley "Dirt Monkey" Genadek can make a video where they mow grass for 24 minutes and everyone loves it!
Aww- your the best!
You were making a "Dirt Monkey smoothie" in the beginning.
Yeah- That thing is awesome. Pinneaple,mango, papaya, and coconut mixed with collagen powder and Plant Fusion superfood in Vanilla flavor with a dash of MCT oil. Tastes amazing and your whole body feels the kick from all the superfoods.
I just bought one of these. We have a 10kW solar system so I'm setting the charger on a timer to only charge during the middle of the day, so should be pretty much free 'fuel'. So far I'm very impressed. It just did 1.8 ac on a charge in hilly country, the cut is excellent and it is Sooooo smooth. Way better than my 2 year old Husqvarna which is already having transaxle problems. I have another two batteries on order so should be able to mow most of our 5 ac in a single pass. This is certainly not a toy.
Awesome video Stanley! That thing looks fantastic!
Thanks 👍
My man! EGo sends you new mower and you clear 5 acres of Minnesota Nature Preserve on same blade. Hahaha. You and Project Farm should do an equipment collab video where you do all kinds of crazy tests with real world input and results. It’s my dream RUclips collab I think. Thanks for what you do brother.
I wish! I love that guy.
I'm starting a lawn care/snowplow removel I have 50 customers so far that do lawn mows weekly they all have small drive ways and they asked if I will snowplow but they all have small drive ways and I got a snowblower and now I have 3 business that want me to plow for them this winter but I'm on a 1500 budget for a plow after building a shop and getting a new trailer I have two 3500 dodge's and I'm looking for a cheap good plow any advice for brand wise
I started with my 52 inch zero turn and my little dodge with my snowmobile trailer in July and so far so good I'm making on average 50 grand!! But then I'm losing 30 grand for employees and expenses am I on a good start
Well your getting customers and requests for service so thats an awesome start!
@@Dirtmonkey thank you for the feedback Stanley
if anyone likes to bag their grass... this thing has a great bagging kit too.. comes with bagging blades, counterweights (to counteract the weight of the bags and make it ride smooth) and its got two bags so it holds some serious grass. Also sidenote this mower is definetly for homeowners, electric mowers simply do not have the battery capacity for landscapers going lawn to lawn all day (yet that is)
That mower is insane!!!!!!!!!! I can’t believe the performance you get from those batteries! That ripped through that tall grass like it was nothing!!!
Its amazing huh? really did!
My father-in-law is about to buy me this for a house warming gift. I was concerned when he said electric because the house we're buying has almost 2 acres but after watching this video I'm freakin siked!
*Psyched
Get a gas don’t have to worry about it. Don’t fix it if it’s not broken
@@toomanymarys7355 Merry May Day, Mary.
Well mowing at 6 am wont be a problem anymore😂😂..
That would be nice
What a beast! Now I want one. Only you can test a mower at this level.
Thank you kind sir!
Not going to lie I am pretty impressed at what it can do. You beat the hell out of it and it took it.
Not gonna lie- the boring channel is such a cool youtube name! Happy Holidays!
As with all my other Ego equipment, I'm really concerned with Egos pricing model on their batteries. Not sure how much this model is going to run, but I can buy a quality John Deere for 5k, that'll last me 10-15 years just doing minimal maintenance on it. (What I've currently done). With a full size mower though these batteries are only warrantyed for 3 years I believe. So if I have to spend $1500 to replace the batteries every 3 years or even 5 years. That's just not sustainable.
It's "cool", but it's not even close in comparison to other offerings.
Also for commercial use they only warranty their stuff for 1 year.
Over those 15 years, the Ego neeeds... umm... batteries, and blades.
The JD needs... Well any of them now are pretty f'ing locked down, so parts will be a bitch (see "Right to Repair").... but anyway, blades, transmission oil, motor oil, fuel, belts. The government subsidies on EVs should instead be redirected toward E-outdoor power equipment. How much greenhouse gas emissions to all the 2- and 4-stroke outdoor power equipment produce? Answers are out there, of course.
@@peterbachman5965 precisely
I’ve seen lithium batteries go way longer than 3 years, that is just there warranty. They use similar cells as Tesla’s and some of the Tesla batteries have really lasted longer than what they said they would. It really just depends on how many cycles you do per year, if you have a huge yard I’d imagine they might not have as long of an over all life with someone who has a small yard.
If you want LI-ION batteries to last, follow some simple steps - if they go bad anyway, they were shite:
1) store batteries inside where it’s temperature controlled and not subject to extreme cold or heat
2) charge indoors as well
3) Do not use ANY from of “QUICK CHARGING”. Charging in 45 minutes is NOT a good feature - it’s A severe liability to the long-term health of your battery. 2 hours at least - for these types I prefer 3 hr minimum - make part of your purchasing decision what kind of charger comes with the unit and what options you have with it; a high-quality charger will give you different charging options and you should always go with the longest charge cycle if you can.
4) for absolute MAX battery life, forever keep the charge state between no less than 10% and no more than 90% - really it should be 20% to 80%, but that’s just not feasible in most scenarios unless you have a really small yard. When done, charge to midway and not to “full”, until needed.
5) never store them at their full charge state - 55%-ish is best
6) if possible, only charge to “full” right before using
7) NEVER leave on a charger - this will violate #5
Heat, extreme discharge states, and repeated cycles to 100% (or ANY overcharging) are the three enemies of LI-ION batteries - treat your phone the same way and marvel at your battery’s lifespan lol. My M3 has lost 1%-ish over 52k miles, with fairly heavy supercharger usage (bad for the battery to charge that fast, remember?) - but I have followed my own 15%-90% rule, and I keep it at 50% until just before I leave - I’m not even sure I’ve lost that 1% tbh.
It’s all about how you care for the battery in MOST cases, although remember you get what you pay for when it comes to lithium ion batteries as well. The tech is far more robust than it seems, but the faster u destroy ur battery, the quicker u buy more lol
(The charger u use has a BIG part to play too - if u use 18650 on down to AAA rechargeables, rly of ANY kind whether Li-Io, Li-Po, NiMh, whatever - do ur self a favor and invest in a very high quality charging station that handles ALL of those sizes and in between. Nitecore, Dragon, whatever - do ur diligence and get a solid charger and that will serve you for a decade at least, and pay for itself at least once by extending the life of ur batteries)
it really bugs me how you cut lawns.. you blow into houses, and into the parts you yet to cut...whyyy

This is going to be my mower, some day when I have my 10 acres.
10 acres is to big for it. It handles about 2 on a charge.
5 batteries
It cuts 2 acres
On included 4 batteries
But it can fit up to 6 batteries
La meilleure vidéo jusqu'à présent. Vous êtes très explicite
Great video, you really put that mower through the test
Thank you!
