Re: ryobi electric zero turn mower
I don't have one but I'd be interested how you like it if you end up with one. I currently have their 40v handheld stuff and push mower but plan on moving to a bigger yard after the kid graduates high school and will need something like this.

Re: ryobi electric zero turn mower
That looks cool! Recently I moved to Kansas and it seems the grass needs mowing a lot! In the stable is a: Grasshopper 61” diesel, a Dixie chopper 50” and a Home Depot 42” . The Grass hopper is in the shop, the Dixie chopper is in need of a lot of maintenance, and the Home Depot model is too small for our purposes, but it gets used since it works! We are at a church camp with about 60 acres to mow - so we’re under gunned. Looking forward to hearing how the electric works out for you!

Re: ryobi electric zero turn mower
If you buy this please keep us updated. 2 acres is a lot of grass. I cut about 4 1/2 with a Kubota diesel tractor with a 5 foot belly mower and wish i had something a little bigger.
Their claim of 3 acres on one charge sounds like a bit much to me. |

Re: ryobi electric zero turn mower
3 acres of short grass... My Ryobi push mower came with the 5ah battery, if I mow every week during the grow season I can do my lawn on half a battery. If I try to mow two weeks of growth I'll kill the battery and have to pop in one of the others for the last few strips of grass..

Re: ryobi electric zero turn mower
One MAJOR thing to consider is the replacement cost of the mower batteries.
This mower is using 4 x 12 volt batteries in series. They are a Leoch (12-Volt 100 Ah) Non Spillable Sealed Lead Acid Battery. From what I read, battery life on these mowers is a concern and a very high battery replacement cost measured in $ per year may be experienced. If you are considering buying this mower, read IN DETAIL both the "Question & Answers" and "Customer Reviews" sections of the following link to understand what concerns that actual owners of this mower are experiencing. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Leoch-Ba...-100/309073002 |

Re: ryobi electric zero turn mower
it has 4 motor and 4 controllers. charger looks like an ezgo charger
batteries are wheelchair batteries. probably other brands available like any agm battery it needs to be charged regularly it claims 2 hour mow time, i may need to light a fire under swmbo's fanny :) i read a lot of reviews on hd site and youtube, most are 5 star. the 1 & 2 star ratings you can tell are real idiots. one guy claimed they were unstable cuz he pulled a wheelie backing off a tall trailer on a steep hill. can't fix stupid.
