- EGO ZT4205S Cordless Zero Turn Mower with e-Steer Technology. The Z6 with eSteer 42” riding mower is said to pack the power of a 22 horsepower gas mower, but without the noise, fuss, or fumes. It can cut up to 2.5 acres on a single charge with the four included 12Ah ARC Lithium batteries.
EGO has announced new additions to their Power+ line of cordless outdoor power tools.
EGO MST1603 Multi-Head 16-inch String Trimmer with PowerLoad
There will be a new Multi-Head kit that includes a 16” trimmer with PowerLoad tech. PowerLoad enables users to feed the cutting line with the push of a button. The Power Head is compatible with all EGO Power+ multi-head attachments. The 16” trimmer can run for up to 45 minutes with a 4Ah battery (included with the kit).
EGO POWER+ 10” Telescopic Pole Saw (PS1001)
The new EGO Power+ 10” pole saw features an industry-first LED cut line indicator, for more accurate cutting under dark, shaded, or low light conditions. It features a telescoping carbon fibre shaft for total reach of 16 feet. EGO also says the new pole saw has best-in-class weight that’s up to 30% lighter than other pole saws. Tensioning is tool-free. Users can expect to make up to 100 cuts using a 56V 2.5Ah battery, included in the kit.

I've been waiting for them to release a blower like that.💪💪💪
Nice bit of kit 😎
@@MachineryNation I need a snowblower like that to run around the yard and neighborhood 😂. The guy next door will be jealous 😂
That strimmer loading and releasing as you need it has blown my mind, the amount of time that would save me! I've got ego now (gardener) but need this!
Delivered a nice even cut, has the super tight turning ability th-cam.com/users/postUgkx1VWTrayKBdCKAjzAcZ_Eg4dhHTae3LkN also recommend I was looking for, and is just a blast to drive. It takes a little bit to get used to driving one after driving a normal tractor style, but once you've got it, you've got it. If you're cutting lines, you have to be careful spinning the mower around or the back tire will dig a bare spot. Just take it nice and slow during the turn and then it's back to full throttle across the yard!
Thank you 👍🏼
You weren’t kidding about waiting for the next video 😊 the backpack blower looks awesome!
Oh I have one of the lights, they work fantastic.
Awesome it is! 🤩
Nice looking bits of equipment. That pole saw will take some beating, it’s got it all power, length and light weight- impressed
100% thanks Al. Not like you to like something battery powered, have we finally turned you 😉 haha. Hope you are well dude 👍🏼
@@MachineryNation I’m fine ta. I like battery tools, Milwaukee especially- hint hint 😁
@@almclean4835 😉
Great bits of kit James and really good reviews 👍
Thank you Nev 😎
Been waiting for this, absolutely stunning
Yay, thank you!
10amp hour batteries were are $ 500.00 each . 800 cfm is great but probably only runs 10 to 20 minutes
Dang I want that pole saw. I just got one last year though
It’s a game changer 🙌🏻
Do we know exactly when the 16”multi head system is releasing ?
Love the products. When are they coming out with a kinetic log splitter. I’d buy one in a minute.
This review makes them look like junk.. great toys though... was considering buying for my fleet.
I still prefer the dual stick zero turns. Far more control as is needed for yard work.
Since the new Z6 zero turn has same issues with slopes as the old models, love to see you put your engineering skills to work and maybe hack up a caster wheel lock mechanism to allow on-demand control of the front caster wheels to lock them into the straight ahead position when mowing across slopes. Maybe a foot pedal controls a cable attached to a lever/lock mechanism that engages to hold/lock the front wheel caster forks in forward position while the foot pedal is engaged. Release the pedal and the caster turns freely again. You can do it James!
see Cub Cadet's ZTS series
Glade that these products finally made to UK. Interesting that your Line IQ trimmer does not have a carbon fiber shaft.
Yeah something you get before us and something we get before you. I think that’s fair haha 😎
I have the z6 52 in the UK been waiting for it and its been fantastic. My only issue is my grass doesn't grow fast enough and with the ground being soft its really easy to tear up the lawn with the rear wheels if you turn sharp. Got the 765 blower too and have been blowing gravel about. Ordering the multi tool this week too with the hedge trimmer and rotocut. I wanted to replace my petrol push mower too but the UK range of push mowers seems years behind what they offer in the USA. Any idea when the 2023 push mower with new speed IQ will be hitting the UK?
Cool. Is it possible 2 extensions for the pole?
In principle yes… but I would advise it
Why doesn't the line iq strimmer have a carbon shaft like the 1620t does in the USA?
that ps 1000 how much does it weigh?
Does the 2023 lineup include a new push mower? I thought they were coming out with a new top of the line select cut mower.
Also, will my current power head work with the new strimmer attachment or will I need the new power head?
I think this is being launched in the states first. We have these for the time being plus the new inverter 👍🏼
I predict within the next 5 years a steering wheel control will make up 40 to 50% of all zero turn mowers.
I have to agree Tom 👍🏼
Make a bloody Scarfier EGO!
Great video, what's the cost difference between the steering wheel z6 and the classic handle bar z6?
Thanks Greg. About £400 I believe. See you later bud, come and say hi when you see us 👍🏼
I like it too drive like a car
The Z6 is almost 10 Grand in Australia and only comes with 4x 10ah batteries. We really are being ripped off by Ego!
Peyton Channing is a likable guy… l think this would be a great mower.
Peyton Manning? 🤩
@@MachineryNation intentional because he’s a Brit :)
Disappointing the e steer mower’s steering wheel does not control the front wheels.
That 800 cfm will drain tour battery in a couple minutes. So yes it has it but it’s totally useless. So realistically you will never use it at 800
I sell all brands of outdoor power tools. Ego is the top in battery. For gas Stihl
It can’t hang with a 16hp Kawasaki motor let alone an advertised 25hp
take the deck off and you have a golf cart.
The EGO products are certainly very good, but sorry, your video is just like you're rattling off EGO's press releases. There is no journalistic, objective view of the products here.
Hope you have a place to dispose all this electric junk in a couple years. Like to see someone film a 8hr work day with the toys.
Converted all my daily work gear to ego about 3 years ago. Havent looked back. Saved a shit tonne, and am only now starting to replace cells. So far in front $$ wise its not funny.
Wow doing great for 3 years. Come back i 10 years and tell me how great they are while i am mowing with my 47year old gas and oil burner which will be 57yr old by then still cutting grass.

We’ve been running the 52” all summer, and it’s FANTASTIC. That new steering wheel though… 🔥! Not ENTIRELY sure that it’s a good idea to give you a mini chainsaw with THAT much reach. :) Great overview guys!
“Baby Chainsaw” on a stick 😂😂 they’re all great, thank you guys 😎
The video was absolutely worth the wait! A great video James! Can't wait for their release in the US market! Cheers
Thanks Garrett, it was defo worth the wait haha 😂
That rattling mower deck would drive me crazy ..... : )
Fingers crossed this will be resolved soon 🤞🏼
@@MachineryNation big mistake to release it for reviewing like this
@@PatHiggins-Mayo It’s exactly the same as the other Z6 which has been out nearly 2 years. The field I was on was very bumpy. No noisier than the other one. It just sounds worse than it is haha. But agree, it need to be quieter.
@@MachineryNation ya, its probably fine but that rattle we can hear on camera would definitely be off putting for a potential buyer
@@PatHiggins-Mayo it rattles just like the Z6! You would think they would fix this. My Ryobi 80volt doesn't rattle like this. Main reason I returned my Z6 that and the horrible bluetooth pairing to update firmware.
I have the first z6 mower. I wish the blade speed controls were easier to control while mowing. I love the idea of the newer model where everything is accessible on the steering wheel
Great review, it's like watching Top Gear for landscaping.
Awe thank you. This is my fav comment this week 🤩🤩
I believe ego has rotary scissors For the multi function head tool. Will this tool ever be in the States ?
Awesome review James. For the Z6, was hoping they would do something about traction control like Greenworks is doing with their new hub wheel motor zero turns. The rear wheel electric hub motors allow them to handle 25 degree slopes due to "adaptive traction control".
Can you plug two blowers to get the whole real flying man toolkit ?
Hell yeah 😂😂
Yes all well and good, we have an Ego strimmer but here in Britain we can't get a grease tube to grease the head. ( Screw in the tube ) Any other brand no problem. Phoned Ego UK they didn't seem to care.
LOL..this guy is enjoying the ride on mower a bit too much..LOL We get it mate, it goes forward and backwards...LOL
Yeah and it also goes round in circles 😂😂
Electric crap I will never purchase.
The green light is cool on the pole saw... until the limb you can't see falls from tree onto you noggin. 🤣
Nice tools and mowers gang, thanks for the video. (More Norman)
Yeah Norman might of quit over pay equality, do you think we should pay him more to get him back John?
You could probably offer him a higher quality pocket protector and he might come back. 🤣
nice and all but the clackitty clack sound is super irritating
that combi strimmer is it anti clockwise head turning?
Morning gents, have ego gave any indication when these items may be released in the UK?
Some of them are already available and the rest will gradually appear during the spring👍🏼
Am I the only one........Hands up those who wanted a scarifier
You’re not the only one Gordon 🤞🏼for next year 👍🏼
Been waiting for this... Good job guys!👍🏻
Thank you Joshua 😎
My EGO self propelled walk behind could honestly use far more cutting suction and discharge force, other owners have mentioned this. Unless I'm just cutting absolute tips, I do get clumps even in ultra-dry grass, this requires a second pass, my blade is razor sharp .. I've tried different heights, different mowing conditions .. nothing helps. I also have the EGO string trimmer and three batteries. I will likely go back to gas power later this summer and keep the EGO for perimeter trimming.
Total piece of garbage!!! Mine is only 5 months old, stopped working, and I called for warranty. They will not cover it because it was a gift for father day and I didn't have the receipt.so not only is it is not in warranty it is not repairable!!! It just stopped working battery is fine as I tested it on another EGO product. EGO products are not well built and they will not back it up with warranty. No more EGO PRODUCTS for me. Sticking with Stihl!
Are the batteries for the ride on lawnmower interchangeable also do the batteries for ego come with the products or do you have to buy those separately?
Yes they are interchangeable. Some products come with batteries, some don’t depends on the deal 👍🏼
That new power head and pole saw attachment has sold me on ego for OPE. The extreme reach is way beyond Milwaukee or others. Now I can justify buying that snowblower I've been eyeing.
I bought a thousand dollars worth of E-GO and TOTALY REGRET IT! Batteries are as fragile as a cell phone. E-GO = 😢
How does the steering wheel model handle on an incline? Was really hoping the front wheels could be used to steer. Well, I guess it’s back to the Cub Cadet zero turn with steering wheel
The most underrated thing about the string trimmers is the flat, comfortable place they provide for the forehand of the trigger hand to rest on top of the motor. They don't even advertise this feature.
Looks like Ego still doesn't fix deck rattling issue for this Z6 steerng wheel version :(
I currently have a John Deere ride on mower and am looking to go to the EGO. I have EGO blower, chainsaw, line trimmer, hedge trimmer etc. However, my JB ride-on also allows me to tow a cart. So it really becomes a small utility "tractor" for the property. Can the EGO mower do this please?
Hi, yes it has a tow hitch so you can tow a cart. It would be a fantastic replacement for your John Deere.
You should be able to lock in turbo!!! We all use turbo 95 percent if the time
When are they going to come out with a pressure washer?
There is a pressure washer powered by ego in mainland Europe, but Ego have not made one themselves yet.
For the another blower statement, there are a few. Battery units, idk.
Still no stand on or 30in walk behind Ego is getting left behind
Its deck is also STILL loud like the Z6 🤦🏽♂️
This guy is hilarious! And helpful!
I can't wait to see the new videos on all these products they are so nifty!
Don't suppose you know if we're getting the updated nexus?
Yes we will be getting the Escape 400w. The large power bank I don’t recon we will see until they update it.
Are you saying "Strimming"???
Yes, we call it strimming in the UK 👍🏼
@@MachineryNation Groovy
I've got the regular 42" ego...it rides fast & cuts well. I recommend the bigger 52" deck for a acre or more.
Maybe I got a bad batch of batteries from floor model, but 4 that comes with 42" isn't enough, sure I could finish roughly an acre of all kinds of terrain & extra turns due to irregular land layout (triangles & even zero turn can't cut much faster). But batteries being drained to 15-25% on 4 in such short time was concerning to me. So I bought 2 of the 12ah to add, but at $900 extra I would of been better to get 52" with 6 12ah vs 4 10ah batteries in my 42".
Performance is great, I have buckeyes & some apples that drop, branches, tall grass...none of it is a problem at all. Best part is having full 7mph mowing speed without running wide open throttle like a gas mower.
My biggest issue with 42" on my acre of land is I feel like I'm on a time limit to mow fast, it is like watching your battery drain on your phone...you know as you get lower but can't recharge it you watch it more.
The 2nd complaint is the inability/difficulty to mow slopes, so much torque & no front steering is a problem. I didn't expect so much difficulty compared to regular steering as there are so few mowers with regular steering being made.
3rd issue is minor... The power display in sunlight can fog up & appear ruined. I literally got off the mower & picked up some branches in the yard. And filled a couple bad spots in the yard with a couple bags of dirt I had in the area. Couldn't of been more than 5-10 minutes. There are others that mention the screen issue as well.
I also bought the 42" Ego Z6, and I have had the same experience. I am planning on doing exactly as you did, which is to purchase a pair of 12ah batteries. Right now, the cutting season is winding down, so I'll save my money and buy them this winter.
I like the machine otherwise, and I'm glad that I bought it. However, your point about buying the larger model makes sense. I am disappointed that I spend more time recharging than cutting.
If u turn down the blade speed it increases the time u can mow. I mow majority of my lawn at blade speed on 2 bars.
@@nathandingman6846
Mine I tried low, 4 batteries insufficient in my case. As I mentioned I may have bad batteries, they appeared weathered, I suspect it is a floor model.
God is so so so good trusting in him for he is with you🙏❤️🙏
God is the name of a confidence scam, trust is key in any scam.
