Don't let this hype you! Extra 10Ah battery is $450. This mower is already $5k with only 4 battery. They should have given 6 Battery. I would stick to Ryobi 54" Blade 115Ah. Here's the math between the EGO and Ryobi. EGO = 56V and 40Ah for $5k. Power = Voltage x Current. So the EGO Power = 2,240 Watts of power. You can only increase it to 3,360 Watts with the extra 2 battery. Ryobi = 48V and 115Ah for $5k. This is 5,520 Watts of power. More Watts will give you a longer duration of cutting time simply put. They Ryobi also has a larger cutting blade!!!
@Kitearmy3 жыл бұрын
@@Moe7133 True math but what if you have a problem with that Ryobi battery - good luck getting it replaced. The EGO is just go to Lowes and your back in business. Also most people who own Z6 already have extra batteries. That being said, if you like the Ryobi then that is good - because the Z6 are sold out. Bet you can find a Ryobi with less problem

Pro tip - when you turn. Only go 90 degrees with the mower back up a little and make another 90 degree turn. It’ll prevent you from turning too much on 1 spot and making a bald spot. Also zero turns have trouble on hills since the front wheels are like casters and not steering wheels like a lawn tractor. It’ll go up and down hills fine but not left to right on the hills.

I own a Ryobi Zero Turn electric. It has four 12v batteries (like electric golf carts) with a 42 inch cutting deck (like the EGO Z6). You are correct in saying the Z6 can make tight turns, however I doubt the Z6 can mow tight turns (like around tree trunks), because of the narrow deck! My Ryobi 42” deck is almost the exact width as it’s rear wheels so the rear wheels are always bump up against the tree trunks and actually “wedge” the tires to the trees. I pretty much have to cut around trees like I’m on a lawn and garden tractor and make about four cuts around each tree. That’s why I was so disappointed after buying it! I also have a 60” John Deere ZTR and it doesn’t have any problem cutting around my trees. Let me know how Z6 does (mowing around trees) please. My guess is it’ll be like my 42” Ryobi! Deck and bump the tires. That’s what your traffic cones and egg test appeared to be showing! Your cones looked to be spaced about four feet apart but the Z6 looked like it was making six foot circles to get around the 4’ x 4’ cones without hitting them? Ryobi supposedly is coming out with a new ZTR electric with a 54 inch deck (and three blades) and my guess would be that their other customers were also disappointed with the 42” decks ability to trim around trees! If you could make a video showing the Z6 circling tree trunks and cutting grass right up against the trunks, ( in one complete circle),then I’d sell the Ryobi and buy the Z6! My 60” John Deere weighs in around 1500 lbs. and I can’t use it to mow in the Spring when the ground is spongy, whereas the Ryobi is half the weight and literally floats on top of the ground without leaving ruts!

Great first ever review! Wish I had seen this 6 months ago. I was looking a t a floor model at True Value and wondering how low can it cut? You and a number of other sources state 1.5" is the lowest. The unit I looked at had what appeared to be makings every 1/3rd of an inch. The markings seem to go to 1-1/3". I'm hoping to mow at 1/2". Are there any work-a-rounds for lowering the blade height? Also any chance of actually measuring the blade height off your driveway or grass height on the lowest setting? Good work on video!
@Kitearmy3 жыл бұрын
Thanks mate - I guess the best measurement would be the cut length

Very cool. I own the Ego trimmer, hedge trimmer, blower and edger and I own them because of some of your videos; you do a great job with these videos! They get the job done (good enough for personal use) without gas and oil at a fair price. That being said, I would NEVER pay $5 grand for this. You'd have to be CRAZY to pay $5 grand for this.haha For that amount of money, you can buy a really nice commercial mower that will outperform this Ego in every way with ease. I'm out.

To Steve Meyer I was originally looking at getting the Cub Cadet cc30e. Unfortunately only certain exclusive dealers are allowed to sell the electric mowers. The Cub Cadet web sight showed where these dealers are located in relation to where I live. The closest dealer is sixty miles away. They had none of the electric mowers and didn't know if or when they were going to get any. I tried calling dealers further and further away and got the same story. Even if they could get one, they wouldn't deliver to me. I don't have a truck or trailer. Anyway I called MTD who make Cub Cadet and Craftsman and was told that none were available and that they weren't scheduled to make a run of the electric mowers untill late June or early July. I have an Ego walk behind mower. After having it for a couple of months the speed adjustment switch or control stopped working. I called Ego. I got a warranty agent within ten minutes. The gal told me that there were no warranty repairs shops anywhere near me so they would have to send me a whole brand new mower. I thought, a whole new mower just for a switch? I did get a brand new mower within a couple of days. Ego even paid for the pickup and shipping of the original mower. So my experience with warranty issues was very positive. Even with this much more expensive mower my wife was for me getting the Ego as she doesn't have to put up with my cursing because of poor customer service. Your comment about the first customers being Bata testers hit the nail on the head. I've already found out about a manufacturer defect and haven't even gotten my new mower delivered from Lowes. The Ego mower was available at a Lowes fifteen miles away. They uncrate, assembled, and deliver for free-another reason for buying the Ego mower.
