Greenworks Pro 80V Li-ion Zero Turn Ride-On Mower 107cm

I took a long time to decide on what mower I wanted, shouldnt of bothered, it was a great decision in the end, easy to use quick to learn how to operate (even my grandson ) picked it up straight away. paddock,now lawn looks amazing. very happy. Tony.New Plymouth

Unfortunately for me, I tried to save money and buy a cheaper one but sold it within six months and brought this one. Absolutely love it, so much better than the other one. I now love doing the lawns.

Great little machine it took a while to master the steering controls as I have not had other than steering wheel models previously. Efficient for my section. Value for money, good range of accessories, very useful.

The mower was delivered on a steel pallet, with no way of riding off the pallet. I had to crash it off the pallet at risk of serious damage to the mower. The one end of the pallet ought to be configured, at little cost, as a fold down ramp. Once on the lawn, the mower performed superbly, with long battery life. To mow my quarter hectare property uses 25% of the battery. I recharge after 3 mows. The cut is clean. The wide drive wheels leave little impact on the lawn, despite the enormous weight of the machine.

Only been using it for about 3 or 4 months so far it's been fun and easy to use (after getting used to the "zero turn" steering). So many no's: No petrol No Oil No Air filter No belts No ear muffs

I had grown tired of petrol ride on mowers that always end up being hard to start (battery/solenoid/relay/starter eventually pack up), noisy as (even when blades are not engaged), smelly due to the petrol and exhaust, and lets face it: expensive for what they are (a petrol push mower with all the complications of a small vehicle). My mechanic also told me that ride on mowers are only designed to do 200 hours before the deck rusts out. Then, after adding 20 solar panels to our roof, I decided to look at battery electric mowers. I was surprised they are not that much more expensive than comparable zero turn petrol mowers. I found the Greenworks Pro 80V mower at Trade Tested, and then started researching them online. One of the many You Tube videos I found was a review of this exact model after doing 700 hours. I was sold. I placed the order and received the mower via truck delivery a few days later as I live in a rural area of the South Island. It came mostly assembled in a large metal pallet/cage, with three large cardboard boxes containing the bits needed to complete assembly. Tip for assembly: make sure to remove the front part of the cage so you can drive the mower off that way after assembly. The rear part of the pallet has large gaps that make it hard to back the mower off (I found this out the hard way; serves me right for not reading the instructions carefully). My first use of the Greenworks mower really put it to the test. Since my ride on had packed up no would not start, the grass had grown to over 30cm high, and was thick. This mower was able to handle it without bogging down (I did drive very slowly the first pass). Battery life is excellent, and one of the biggest pleasant surprises is how fast the batteries recharge - from naught to full in about 75 minutes! The next time I mowed (a week or so later as the grass here grows very fast), the Greenworks mower proved what I had already suspected - it is a fantastic machine. The finish on the lawn is way better than any of the ride-ons I have owned in the past, and it takes 3/4 of the time to do the job. My experience is that the high settings on both the drive speed and blade speed are really not necessary, and I would think using them would decrease battery life a bit. The Greenworks mower is very manoueverable and has about the same footprint as a ride-on, so can be stored wherever you parked your ride-on (it is talller, obviously). I highly, highly recommend the Greenworks Pro 80V Zero Turn Mower. In my opinion, it is well worth the price, and seems built to last.

This mower and its catcher have surpassed my expectations. I mow our lawns about 1.5 acres and my daughters lawns about 3/4 acre on a single charge and am only down to 30% of battery life. This is on low speed drive and low speed blades, which is plenty enough. The mower has side discharge, mulching and catching options. All three so far have been great. The lawn finish is good on all three options. The mower is easy to use very,very quiet. The batteries are easy to charge. I also received a free trimmer with the purchase and its grea to. The battery is interchangeable between mower and trimmer. Spring growth in Taranaki will be its next challenge but the performance its shown so far gives me a lot of confidence that it will handle whatever is thrown at it.

I'm very pleased with this mower. Batteries last a lot longer than I expected. My lawn is about 2000 square metres and I do it 3 times before charging. I recommend this mower.

We decided to switch to a battery powered ride on for several reasons: Cost of petrol, cost of parts/maintenance, inconvenience of breakdowns, environmental impacts. I am so pleased we went with this Greenworks mower. It packs real grunt, easily keeping up with the mowing power of my old John Deere ZTrak. We decided to get a set of 6 spare batteries so we can continuously mow while one set was charging. While this may be needed in spring we haven’t needed it so far as we get a good 90 minutes from a full set of batteries running the drive and blades on high. Manoeuvring the mower is easy, in fact it takes a bit of getting used to because the drive motors have so much torque it tends to slip if you don’t take off slowly (or have it in “low”). The only unexpected bit was that cleaning the underside of the deck is more difficult than my old JD which I could lift up with one hand and prop up on a piece of wood. This is too heavy to do that so we have a farm jack that does the job. Very happy with the purchase and expecting never to go back to petrol.

This is a great mower with plenty of power. Not much noise and easy to get used to to operate. No petrol engine means no maintenance and lower cost. I would recommend this mower.
