I just got the 30" zt on the in store close out. Would've preferred 42" and the garden tractor, but beggars can't be choosers. Haven't mowed yet, as this is the northeast and I'd just mowed the day the close outs were happening. But I used it last weekend to haul logs uphill to the driveway, and it may well have not noticed the load.
Hi there. I'm looking at this same model, just wondering your thoughts on durability of the mower in particular the mower deck? I have about an acre as well, and i accidentally run over sticks and small rocks all the time. What are your thoughts? Perhaps I should pick up debree before mowing :) Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
So far I love the mower. Seems pretty durable to me. I have done about 4 mows with it. Using blade speed on Med if the grass isn't super long will give you a big boost in battery life.
They are an 80v 10ah battery. The downside to it is that they are $899 a piece straight from Ryobi. The batteries them selves only last about 3 years from what I've read.
Hi. My name is Kellan. I love mowers like this. Would you be able to do a mowing video and doing the blades on low medium and high for me like a mowing video a request thank you.
Great video Mike! I just purchased the Z42Li and Home Depot is still running the sale and now they’re throwing in a free gift too. Can wait to use mine. Are you still loving yours?
Yes I have used it about five times and couldn't be happier. I actually enjoy cutting the grass with it. It's kinda fun to use. I just put on a podcast and zone out.
@technogi5222 oh because I got it on clearance from HD and all it had is one battery , it was as is and didn't work anyways something was wrong with mower itself.
I saw a video of a man rolling over backward, in this mower, just going up a small hill. I have the 42" IDrive coming. But when it gets here I will populate the forward two slots and leave the empty slot at the back. Moving the center of gravity forward.
I picked one up last week on the close out deal in store, and I've noticed that because there's no articulation, that it will lift the front wheels when it gets off camber. It hasn't felt like it will tip thought, and my backyard is both downhill with a cross slope.

how do you clean under the deck
I have not cleaned it yet but you can use a hose or any conventional method.
Are the 80V AND the 40V batteries charged by the built in charger?
Yes they are. Just plug one cord into the mower and you are good.
Can you tell me what the replacement batteries would be on this one? Also, how much?

Can it run with one 80v batt or needs at least twp
Well it comes with two so have not tried it with just one. I don't see why it wouldn't work but not sure why you would use just one

I have not had it feel tippy at all but I have my batteries just as you discribed

Does it mow in reverse
Yes it does. Which is awesome.
If you put Z42Li in your title, you will probably get more views and hits. Every video I see of these is from 1 year ago.
Thanks for the tip.
