Riding Mower vs Electric Zero Turn - Which Should You Buy?

Zero turn lawn mowers have taken the electric mower industry by storm, almost every lawncare manufacturer is producing one, but can it replace the trusty riding mower style we've known and loved for years? In this video, Kenny walks us through the Greenworks 60V 42" CrossoverZ Zero Turn and its ride on counterpart, the CrossoverT Riding Lawn Mower.

Much is the same on these two models from Greenworks, but identifying the pain points and benefits of each version could be the difference between a sound investment and being displeased with your purchase for years to come.

I just bought the zero turn this weekend, It works great. The battery chargers can charge the batteries from almost dead to full charge in about 90 minutes, and they are a bit loud (cooling fans). I mowed my one acre yard, and I still had 88% battery life remaining. Also, the prices on each mower, were $500 less than what was listed on this video.

Really planning on getting the ZT next year. I have 5 60V greenworks tools now and love them all!

Great video. Bummer there’s no bag attachment.

I’d rather have the ZT due to my size but I need something that works well on side hills.

Excited for Greenworks' first non-commercial riding mowers. Hoping that they are saving the 80v mowers as their second generation, allowing these 60v models to work out the kinks. We're deep in the 24v and 80v ecosystems and don't want yet another series of batteries in the mix.

We.have the lawn tractor and a.cub cadet low ride with steering wheel
They do much better than the zero turns on hills going sideways and the reason the zero turn doesn't mow as much as the low ride tractor is that the steering arms use energy to work while the steering wheel is powered by the rider

Is there a good video on the best way to clean the deck underside?

[HooieBones]

Wish these were available at Lowes, Home Depot, Menards, Fleet Farm, Costco, or any store that is conveniently located. Just bought a Ryobi electric but would have preferred this I think.

Thinking about the ZT. How durable is the bed? I live out in the country and have rough terrain, holes, roots, etc. I need something tough. Looking at Bad Boy gas, but the whole idea of no belts and pulleys to tear up is VERY appealing, I spend as much time working on our junk Craftsmen mower as I do using it.

I need diversification...Is there a SNOW removal option kit?

[silvertonguedaywalker]

I am looking at theses for when we move, we want a larger House with about 10 Acres when we Retire. We have a large family🤣🤣 Only a few years to wait. Whole new world this would be for my Husband.

I’m thinking of buying a CrossoverT Tractor Riding Mower. Can someone advise me on the battery life? I see that the replacement battery cost is $350/battery.
How many seasons of “average” use can I get out of them mowing a flat acre?

[brandonsilvestrini]

Any info on the front attachments that will be available?

[TeufelHund]

For those of us who've never owned a mower, can you please shoot a video of how to change the Crossover T's blades? Do you need a jack what kind? What tools do you need Impact Driver or Impact Wrench? How would you know when it's tight enough so as not to cause a safety issue? Also how do you fill the oil in the gearbox? What size screw driver or wrench do you need? The instructions are not clear at all. Thank you!

Remember when you could buy a really nice, new car for 5k? Geez, I sound like my Grandfather did. LOL

[MegF]

I would LIKE to see how you get in & out of these mowers, as someone with some disability issues this is important factor for me. Your cutsie poof didn't help me understand that at all. Thanks for the review. I'd also like to know the decibels & see how well the lights work at night. What are the dimensions of the storage in the back? Would it hold a muck bucket? What is the warranty? Where are they sold?

[gwbuss]

So you need to pull out the batteries to charge them?

[rumbaman]

Wish you would show how easy it is to take off the deck to change the blades.

[mnelson]

I would go with the traditional as I have hills to mow. How strong is the front end? That seems to differentiate the better made lawnmowers.
