I must say for the height and amount of grass you cut it did cut pretty well. I still perfer engine mowers as towards the end I could hear it slowing rpm speed in the blades, but it was nice to see what these new improved batteries can do.
Very cool mowers! Why not start at the highest and experiment your way down so you don’t leave low spots and it’s easier on the mower? Also, since it discharges to the right, wouldn’t it be better to make a clockwise pattern to effectively mulch the clippings in one pass? Or make a counter clockwise pattern on the first fast pass and then a fast clockwise second pass to get the stragglers and mulch the clippings?
Any updates on "regular" mowing yet? I love torture test videos. If it can do this, it can easily work for my needs, up to 12 acres regularly cut. Thank you!!!
I will be cutting 2.5 acres by the weekend. I let the grass grow an extra week to get thicker. This will be the 2nd time cutting the 2.5 acres, and it was a breeze. Thanks for watching and please subscribe.
@@BobbieStump The 3rd cut went very well. I did not charge the mower to see how fast the battery would drain and didn't charge after the 3rd cut. I posted a video recently on that cut.
@@willsiewert987 I think you misunderstood my statement. I purposely did not charge the mower because I wanted to see how many times I could cut my grass without charging.
No offense, but those are beautiful mowers, but this isn't what they were intended to do. They are finishing mowers. For this kind of grass you first bring a rough cut brush/bush hog type mower in to knock it back and then bring your finishing cut mower in to clean it up. While this makes for an interesting demonstration I hope that people understand that isn't what these mowers were intended to do. I run a tractor with a bush hog through a field like this, look to make sure there isn't anything in there that might damage the finish cut mower or the bush hog first time through a field if you haven't mowed it before and know what is in there. Then it is smooth sailing on the finish cut mow with a nice clean finish. Nice to see how well these mowers were holding up even under completely unrealistic loads for what they should be mowing. Would love to hear how these mowers hold up over time and what maint or repairs that have been needed and the kind of hours they are being put through. Pros, cons, and lessons learned.
No offense taken because you are 100% correct. We had to use the tools we had and not the tools we wished we had. It was interesting to see how these new mowers would handle the unrealistic stress.
Hello, approximately 4 hours of continuous mowing, mainly on high, but we did lower the blade speed a few times to save battery life. In normal cutting conditions, I expect to get better results. When I cut my 2.5-acre lot average grass height with the Optimus Z, I finish with about 86% battery life. I've only cut it once. I wanted the grass to grow before I do it again, which will be within the next 3-5 days.

@@NickWindham All valid points. I'm not a pro just a homeowner.
I need that, but I'm going big with the 24kw. Who did you finance through, or did you drop the entire bag?

@@AllThingsTV301 how did the next cut go?

Very cool mowers. How many hours were you able to mow before going into limp mode?

@@AllThingsTV301 You were also mowing a lot of tall grass. It will be interesting to see how much mow time you get with 'normal' maintenance mowing.
Whats the better mowet?
@@kennyplay5982 The Optimus Z battery is a little better and the cutting speed is slightly better.
