Can a Battery Powered Zero Turn Mow Down this Overgrown Grass?! Toro Grandstand Revolution

[@ClemsonTiger75]

Man, you drive that thing pretty well - one handed like that. I've been using a Greenworks 60V mower for the past 3 years and still love it. It is NOT as powerful as a gas mower, but it does pretty well. I just have to cut more often. Snap in a battery, push the start button, and we're off and cutting with almost no effort. I like that.

[@MrLangDog]

It took me a minute to recognize that property. That's the sketchy one where dudes wanted to go shooting :) I'm impressed with the battery!! That mower is more suited to regular lawns though. You could probably run regular lawns all day with power left over!

[@medlinlandmaintenancellc]

Man I'm not too impressed with the battery powered equipment. Seem like it doesn't mow as good to me, but I'm just not a fan of the battery stuff myself! Good work as always though brother!!

[@TheLawnCareLifeinMowssouri]

It does a nice job on a manicured lawn, but this grown up mess hadn’t been mowed in 2 months lol. But I hear you man. Battery isn’t for everyone. I had the chance to try this mower out for a week and put it to the test. Appreciate you taking the time to watch! 👍

Seemed like the blades are not up to par. It lasted a good amount of time but it looked like it had to be gone over to many times to cut it. But I'm with you on being not much on the battery powered stuff.

Exactly. The gas powered Toro Grandstand is a beast and would munch that like a pro

[@TheLawnCareLifeinMowssouri]

Didn’t struggle for me. Has a ton of power. But this mower comes standard with low lift blades. You’re not going to chop it all up and disperse clipping very well cutting 4ft tall grass unless you swap them out for high lift blades. But then you’ll lose battery life if you do that. But you are correct, it’s definitely designed for weekly lawns. Not overgrown lawns lol. I appreciate you taking the time to watch.

Huge fan of all the new electric stuff. I wish the three grass out the chute like a good gas mower does.

[@TheLawnCareLifeinMowssouri]

The electric stuff is pretty solid. On this particular mower, the reason why it doesn't shoot grass way out is because it comes with low lift blades. It's not designed to lift and shoot grass way out. If you swapped blades then you would see more grass being cut and thrown out. But to conserve power, they run low lift blades on the Grandstand Revolution. Thanks for watching!

I cannot even imagine how much this unit cost. The regular zero turn battery power price is through the roof I cannot even imagine what this would cost. I would imagine it would take a long time to see the savings in the price of fuel and maintenance I would think after that point you would probably need a new battery. I am trying to see that you test this out when you started I did not think it was going to go through to the end. Not only did it make it through there you have plenty of energy left.

[@torstenbrunke4026]

And the price of fuel will raise, too. When the steam engine was invented it was not perfect and most people said, this is devil's machine.

This mower runs low lift blades to conserve battery power. If you swapped them out and threw on high lift blades, you would get the lift to cut it nice and smoooooooth. 😎

[@wildbill23c]

Saw you mention in a few comments they run low lift blades to save power....so when you have to cut the same spot 2-3 times are you really saving anything? I highly doubt it. Throw some regular blades on it and mow a tall property and see what it does. Curious how much more power it takes...maybe revisit that same property again after it grows back up. If you were mowing a regular weekly lawn with that battery powered mower I bet it would be fine, but trying to mow down 2-3 foot tall weeds and grass with that thing isn't impressing me at all LOL. It just don't have the blade tip speed and the right blades on it to do the job right.

I am very interested in adding electrified products to my lineup. I'm really interested in the Stand-on Toro elec GS Revolution. I'm not overly concerned with the cost as I have customers who are asking for a 'green' solution. I can actually charge more. I have been doing a lot of research on that machine before going to my dealer. I have heard a lot of great feedback, but also some negative feedback. For example, Toro had some technical problems. Toro provided a service kit, but now the machines only run at 6mph max. If that's true that won't work for me. I tried contacting Toro directly but no comment. Has your machine experienced any issues? Does the machine still running per original factory specification? I have also heard that some owner of that machine complained how he missed a few payments and Toro shut the machine down remotely. I know they have a connected data feed to the machine, but didn't know they could take remote control of the machine. Is this all true, or internet BS? Thanks for your thoughts...Chivy

Nice mower but not worth the $fir all in gas mower all you need gas and some oil min expense easy to store not having to worry if you will have enough charge to finish the next property .

[@faceinthecrowd5810]

For my business it’s not a question of can a battery zero turn do the work. The deciding factor is my profit margin with the commercial grade equipment costing $36,000 and up….it costs too much. I am a one man business and I mow on an average of $1000 and up for every 10 gallons of gas. So $40 bucks gas overhead per $1000. I use an EGO spin trimmer and an EGO push mower for tight spots, they work great for my job. Other than being greener and being quieter there is no incentive for me to buy in at 36k. Also how much electricity will daily charging add to my power bill…..it’s not free.

[@TheLawnCareLifeinMowssouri]

Definitely have to run the numbers to see if it makes sense for your business. It’s not for everyone, that’s for sure. I like how quiet it runs. Pretty neat to run the mower without cranking up the volume on your headset. And not having to stop at the gas station daily was a plus. But they are expensive for sure. Price will only come down once ppl start buying them at a higher rate

[@TheLawnCareLifeinMowssouri]

One of the reasons that it doesn't cut an overgrown lawn a little better than this is because of the factory blades that they put on these machines. They are actually more of a low lift blade. A high lift blade would have done a much better job and cutting it nice and smooth and chopping it all up. But that would have also taken a lot more power to spin those high lift blades while cutting up so much material. It knocked it down though. Plenty of power and plenty of battery left to spare.
