[@stevemellinger3776]

Ego can pull a cart as well up to 200 pounds.

[@b.i.g.withbr530]

Thanks for adding!

[@miketaets7167]

Yep, trunk holds 200 and is very handy. Tows 300. Be more correction. The Ego holds 6 batteries but only comes with 4.

Reliability is going to be the main selling point when I buy one next summer. As a guy in a wheelchair, the Greenworks seems to be the only option because there is no foot operation. (It's why I chose my Toro Timecutter in 2011.) A huge knock against the Greenworks is the lack of plug-in recharging port. What the hell were they thinking of not including one? It seems like a total no-brainer. I agree with you about the batteries setup on the EGO. I hate how the battery storage area sticks out so much from the back end. If Greenworks could store their batteries under the seat, why couldn't EGO? A new lawn mower company could sell a ton of EV Zero turn mowers if they managed to eliminate these two flaws, and paint the mower in a more flattering colour like red, white, and black like on my Toro.

I love your comparison. You hit many of the same pros/cons I noted while researching electric zero turn mowers. I quickly narrowed the selection to the EGO and Greenworks. As noted, the main advantages to the Greenworks are: Grease Zerks for maintenance. Battery placement (better weight distribution, since zero turns are already front end light, and better space utilization. The "trunk/bed" The 2" receiver on the front Added protection of key components underneath The frame is fully welded, not tack welded like many mowers/tractors today. - Also should note that the 42" models of the residential (60v) and commercial (80v) appear to be the exact same frame, wire harness and I suspect controller (just programmed to the applicable voltage range). That leaves possible differences in the motors themselves, and of course batteries. The Greenworks comes with a mulching plate cover for the deck.... the Ego doesn't, and is part of an expensive add-on kit. As noted, the main advantages to the Ego are: Control panel is provides a lot more information. I like information/data so that I know how my vehicles/equipment functions. Seat - The adjustable suspension is very appealing to me, as I have back issues. The bumpers/rub rails on the deck sides to help protect it. Built in charger is more convienient than the Greenworks (3 separate charging bases, and each pulls 10 amps, so you need to split them up and run on a separate circuits.) I ended up going with the Greenworks mower and received it yesterday. Assembly was quick and easy, and I expect to mow this weekend, so we will see how it does, and how quickly I learn to drive a zero turn.

[@b.i.g.withbr530]

Thanks for the comment and enjoy the new mower!

[@miketaets7167]

I almost got the EGO last year in the fall. Figured I’d wait till spring hoping the price would drop some. Nope, raised it 500$. Lucky for me because the Greenworks crossover came out. A little clarification on the voltages. The Crossover comes in 3 different voltages. 60 volt, sold at Tractor Supply and online. 80 volt sold at Costco. And the 82 volt, which I have, is sold at Greenworks Commercial dealers. All the same machine but different battery voltages. I’ve used the trunk a lot. Pick up sticks while mowing, throw em in the trunk. Dug up tree stumps, in the trunk. Landscaping bricks with bags of gravel and sand, in the trunk. Congrats on getting yours. You’re gunna love it.

[@eclecticgentleman]

Do you get a 5 year warranty on the mower and batteries like the Ego?

[@bobbysmith3196]

@@eclecticgentleman Not a 5 Years Warranty But it’s 4 Years 👍 I honestly have no clue as to what it covers though 🤷‍♂️ It’s Called a... “4 Year Tool and Battery” Warranty😳🙈🤷‍♂️ Guess I’ll be reading the... FINE PRINT 😴🤓😴 on That. Just started looking at the Greenworks Yesterday and Doing Some Research Before i Spend $3500 (Regular Riding Mower) for Something I’ve never Owned-An “Electric” Lawn Mower!!!😳 They are on Sale at the Moment-Normally $3999 $500 off both the regular mower and the zero turn which is $4500 on Sale at TractorSupply. Doesn’t seem to bad if they are... As-Advertised👍

[@bobbysmith3196]

Have Any ideas On How Much $$$ it Raises Your Power Bill? I’m yet to find Any Mention of That!!! Sure Takes a Lot of Amperage To Charge These Things and For 90 Minutes is What the Greenworks Advertises it Takes From Nearly 0 To Full Charge 😳 Seems Like a Lot To Me🤷‍♂️

[@mizzo9]

I purchased the EGO at Lowes. It was delivered to my house the next day and it was filthy. There were also some rust spots - even on one of the batteries. The manual had obviously been wet and a box was completely destroyed from rain. The charger didn’t work either. I had them pick it up and I saved lots of money and purchased the greenworks from the company. None of that was the fault of EGO. Just watch out if you purchase from Lowes!

[@bojang6475]

Bought the green works love the cargo space in the back and the more electronics on the unit the more the chance of problems don’t care about big screens just want to cut my lawn.

[@stevemellinger3776]

The big difference between Green Works and Ego is on the Ego you can adjust speed of travel and speed of blade spin and it gives three settings for control. Green Works doesn't have any of those features. Ego guarantees it's batteries and mower for five years after you register each item. There is nothing on the market like it.

[@Texasprepper]

Ego z6 actually has 4 mower speeds and blade speeds. Secret turbo blade speed.. hold up button till it beeps.....also has a turbo travel speed by doing the same thing.

[@stevemellinger3776]

@@Texasprepper Ya got me. I've never tried it and don't know if I ever would.

[@leonchagolla3288]

greenworks has two blade speed setting and two travel speed settings, and if you get the greeworks through costco you get a 8 year battery warranty, so this statement misleading for anyone whos reading trying to make a decision

@@stevemellinger3776 why do u want drive fast with ZT ? This is typical American thing 😂 the greenworks is better build, and can have much more power.

[@leonchagolla3288]

i ended up choosing the greenworks zero turn over the ego for two main reasons. first i liked that the batteries where under the seat and didnt stick way out the back ike the ego. this also meant for additional space to haul stuff, which has came in very handy so far. this also looks more aesthetically pleasing and takes up less room in my already packed garage. Secondly, i was able to get 0% financing for the greenworks through tractor supply. it was nice not having 5k fly out of my checking account all at once. I will give ego the one up on the battery charging situation, but considering the mentioned benefits of the greenworks, they outweighed this issue for me.

[@b.i.g.withbr530]

Thanks for sharing and watching! Enjoy the mower!

[@Texasprepper]

I bout the z6 from Lowes and saved $500 with their military discount.

[@Margalus]

The ego batteries in the rear is a better design in my opinion simply because it puts more weight on the rear wheels.

[@b.i.g.withbr530]

Thanks for the comment and watching!

[@snazzyd8866]

I think I'm leaning EGO over the Husqvarna 254F I had my eye on. The 42" Z6 EGO is $1000+ more, but the savings from no oil, fluid, filter changes and no $$$ gasoline needed...could end up way cheaper after 5 years!

[@silviaculell]

Very nice mower. Exactly what I needed....

[@metoo072954]

Not many electric mowers have a clean out port too. I noticed this Ego does..I think that was missed in the video.. To me that option is a big plus!

[@jonserkspawn7776]

The only reason to get under the seat of the Ego is for repairs. Being it has a 5 yr warranty, there's no reason for one to get under the seat. All the connections are nicely sealed with their perspective covers to keep debris out

[@b.i.g.withbr530]

Thanks for watching and the info!

[@jgionti3]

Great video but which one would you buy? That’s what I was looking for.

[@b.i.g.withbr530]

Thanks for watching! I made this video because my buddy purchased the Greenworks but he was also looking at this Ego. Below is the link to that video. All my outdoor tools are Ryobi so I was hoping to see how their new 80v was going to work out. I ended up coming across a Craftsman that I liked and bought it. I have prior videos on these if you would like to check them out. If I had to buy one I would probably lean towards the EGO because of their other tools. Hope this helps. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXqlpGpumrmbjLM

I have 2-acre field to mow which is mostly weeds and grass and can get up to 2 feet high. I have an IH 340 with a bush hog that I use now, but it is dying, Will any of these be good for this type of mowing?

[@BenDiscoe]

What tips me toward the Greenworks is that the same batteries go into a seriously powerful chainsaw (the Greenworks CS60L810) while the Ego batteries only go into the mid-range Ego CS1804.

My grass is thick. Would this work on a 1/2 acre lot with thick grass?

[@b.i.g.withbr530]

Both should be really good for 1/2 acre. How high do you keep the grass? Thanks for watching!

[@SisterSanibel]

Greenworks mower will not cut thick St Augustine grass. The blade motors overheat and shut down. I have a half acre of St Augustine and my CRZ has abruptly shut down mid mow over 50 % of the times I have mowed. Taking for 1 hour to overnight before it would start again. It would not even power on to limp back to the garage. The mower is currently on its second trip to the service center. Not happy since I have only had it less than 3 months.

[@ericdolby1622]

I would miss the awesome sound of the v twin Kawasaki

[@eclecticgentleman]

I hope the Greenworks is more reliable than their push mowers

[@urkiddingme6254]

ditto. I bought a Greenworks push mower through Costco and returned it the next season. It worked great, until it didn't. It just quit running. Granted, I did have it on somewhat rough terrain - more field than sod, but for $500 and that was 6 years ago? Plus the only repair shop for Greenworks is a 90-minute-one-way drive from me, and I live near the 2nd largest city in Colorado. Still ... it's the only battery mower brand Costco carries, so now I'm considering buying the ZT Greeworks because I know I can return it if it fails.

[@SisterSanibel]

I bought the Crz428 in July of this year. It has been back for warranty service twice in less 3 months. The motor and blade motors shut down when mowing St Augustine grass. A commercial crossover I should be able to cut a 1/2 acre of St Augustine grass without it shutting down.

Ego looks nicer, but remember your paying almost $3000 more for it

[@gouldbowman]

I'm still wondering why Greenworks didn't put in a plug in charge option? I seriously question if this is an R&D issue. Oversite? Money saving tactic (make it cheaper than the EGO)?

[@b.i.g.withbr530]

Great question! Probably a combination of the points you made but I would lean towards mostly supply chain issues, may have delayed availability. Thanks for watching!

[@PaulStregevsky]

Good question. Even their 42-inch commercial 82V riding mowers make you remove the batteries to charge them. I don't know if the same is true for the company's larger riding mowers.

[@markf6932]

Like all the comments, My biggest reason to staying with Ego. Is that all batteries cross to all the other tools .meaning these batteries will go into my push mower, in my blower in my chainsaw etc. Also, The 6 bay hopper can be used as an amazingly fast stand alone charger for all my Ego batteries Green works battery is fixed and cannot be removed for other items. Plus I own ego nexus inverter And now solar charge all my batteries including the rider for free using the sun. Yes it's slower but I mow once every 2 weeks so giving up a day and a half for free energy is amazing. And blackouts won't bother me using solar.

[@baydoe121]

the greenworks batteries are not fixed and can be used on all of there 60v line of tools.

[@powsnob04]

@@baydoe121 That’s not the case. I spoke to Greenworks to see if the 60v 8ah batteries would work in their backpack leaf blower and string trimmer. They are too big. Not sure if that’s the case for the 80v 4ah.
