I just lucked out into a $999. buy for this mower. Brand new at Home Depot. 4x 40 volt 12 AH batt and 3 suitcase 80 volt batteries. what a deal! They were clearing out 2 of them in inventory.
I've had mine for about 3 weeks and driving this thing has a learning curve. One thing about it, after using that joystick for a couple of hours, your right arm is going to look like Popeye and feel like a teenage boy who just discovered adult content on the web. It takes me literally half the time to mow as my John Deere E130 and I use low speed, low blade speed. Also, like you said, the deck is super tough. I accidentally hit my brick steps and broke 2 bricks. The deck has a scratch.
I have snapped 2 sets of blades, bent drive wheels on various items. The joy stick slams you into unexpected rocks. Not good on hills. Very top heavy and slides. No wheel torque. I mainly use to pull carts and trailers. Can’t bag leaves very well.
I got one of the $500 clearance ones a few months back. (I know - no comparison). I just can't imagine paying 16X what I paid! That's more than we paid for my wife’s last car.
@@bethelle9099 I first heard about this on March 8th - Home Depot decided to get rid of all riding mowers in-store, less than 80V, so there were a lot of Ryobi mowers including some zero-turns and also some Cub Cadets and John Deeres, but mostly Ryobi's. I was able to find one at a Home Depot for $500 - it was the 48V version that has nicad batteries(original retail was $3999, then sale priced at $2499). Virtually all of Home Depot's in-store stock was wiped out within 2 or 3 days - there were some stragglers that lasted for another couple weeks - these same mowers are still available online but at full price. ($2500-$8000). Home Depot wanted to make way for new mowers like 80V. For a while Facebook marketplace was flooded with these mowers. You still may find some good buys on Facebook marketplace because a lot of people bought several for resale but were not able to move them. At this point if you're shopping Home Depot in store you will be hard pressed to find a riding mower less than 80V or a riding mower that is nicad. Bargain hunters monitor deals by the minute, and if you don't act fast, deals disappear fast. Most deal hunters avidly follow: DT6, DOT, SD and BS.
Your neighbours have probably known for a very long time that you are Nuts ! Great video for sure and I appreciate your nutsness I plan on getting one of those mowers in the spring here in Canada !
Good point about keeping your Dew arm free! I would love this for my big back yard, but my bank account says no :( Great video, thanks for bringing this stuff to us!
Brought an used trade in at a tractor store for 2K for 54” Ryobi Zero Turn. Had 234 hours on the meter The sales guy said brand new it was over $7K! I switched out the battery $1K and running good!
Wow, that's pretty awesome. I haven’t seen any of them up close, but glad you like the Cub. SO much better than dealing with all the maintenance brother
Sign me up. No running to get gas, no oil to check or replace, no carb adjustments, no spark plugs, no air/fuel filter, no choke, basically zero maintenance, and super quiet. I’ve got enough equipment to work on now. When it comes to mowing, I just want to unplug, hop on, and go.
Clint is retiring his Cub Cadet. My father-in-law has several old Cub Cadets (late '60 thru the mid 70's, some were his dad's) and one newer Cub Cadet 2017. I have one old Cub Cadet (1971) and one 2018 Cub Cadet GT2000 with the 54" commercial deck. Hard to even think of moving those to electric. Admittedly I have moved my other yard equipment; string trimmer, blower, edger, etc. to dual 18V (36v) Makita and I do love them. Interested to watch and hear the ongoing review of the electric mower.
I've also always used cubs David. Never had issues with them, but I just really love the no maintenance, getting rid of old oil, loud mowers brother. It may be going up for sale 😪
Awesome video, we will definitely need a one year update on it. To be honest I wish Ryobi and Ego would work on robotic lawnmowers, I'm over mowing the lawn. I feel like the robo mower market is the future
@@ToolReviewZone I've looked into it and if you pay enough they can work on up to an acre or even more if you pay enough. I think more development is still needed as currently they require a boundary wire and are expensive as crap haha
I actually enjoy mowing! It’s a half decent “workout”, put my earbuds in and relax a bit. However, I wouldn’t mind if it could be done essentially automatically. Edit: I push mow
I use the Gardena 16000 sqft robotic mower and I love it but I do wish the cut height was higher. It's highest cut height is still too low for my Texas lawn where I would prefer slightly taller grass for drought resistance and providing shade to other blades of grass.
Just wait, I have 19 hours on mine and already had to replace one of the lager batteries. Ryobi was very easy to work with and shipped me a new one. Now it still will not charge 100 percent. Even on low speed for blades and speed, it won't cut 5 acres. More like 3. I am crossing my fingers that I don't have anymore battery issues. I am not the first to report this problem. Let's not forget this 54 inch cost $7,000. That's a lot to have problems right out of the box.
Clint, gotta know. You've just done all the EGo videos on the fan and trimmer, why not stick with EGo for a rider? You got da ba-tree already. Be real nice like if you could answer that one
Great question Hendrix. This and the Ego would be the only two brands that I would consider. I have a tooooon of 40v batteries. I'm trying not to slant toward just one brand on the channel, and mixing it up between the two. That said, if this video does well...maybe I'll bring the Ego to the channel as well 😎👊
I'd like to see how it holds up in terms of keeping its charge. The negatives I've seen on Ryobi is that after a year or two people can hardly get any mowing done anymore on what little charge it holds.
It is true. I was also over the moon to get my new and very expensive mower. It wiped around the lawn and was so much fun to drive. Power galore. 3 years later - it now need 5 or 6 recharges to do the lawn. Yesterday the charge lasted about 5 minutes and even the slightest incline - forget it. To replace the batteries (it is not lithium) is $1000. Yeah:(
You have to remember you can't make sharp turns in ZTRs especially in soft ground or if your grass is not well rooted. You'll tear up the grass like a skid loader does
I watched another video and the guy could only cut about 1.5 acres on a charge. He wasn't too happy about it. How much acreage do u think u actually can cut on a charge?
Was it this one or the older model, smaller version? I have just under an acre and and only used 25% I'll have a while other video on just cutting with this soon
That wouldn’t last long on our one acre because of mole hills & gopher mounds. Glad that you’re happy. P.S. did your neighbors call the cops & tell them that a Lunatic on a Ryobi Zero turn mower running up & down the street 😂😂
I have fire ant hills, so I understand. What I do is turn off the blades and use the front edge of the deck to bulldoze the pile first, then back up, turn on the blades, and mow. It only adds a little time.
I prefer Ego's battery zero turn because I can use the included batteries and the same batteries that I use in my blower, weedeater, polesaw, and chainsaw, and vise versa
@@ToolReviewZone Ego has 3 battery zero turn mowers, a 42" and 52" with 2 front bars for steering and a 42" with a steering wheel that can do zero turn circles. So 42" or 52"
@Ross Malagarie yeah, I was talking about the new steering wheel one. I did a video at the Ego even when they first announced it. Awesome mower, just wanted something a bit bigger without the paddles
Just needs a 110v outlet for the 30 inch version I have. Uses the same 80v batteries so this is probably the same, his charger looks identical to mine.
My yard is just big enough to be bit annoying for my greenworks push mower (needing two 5 amp hour and two 2’s). I’m waiting for this to be a bit cheaper. I just can justify over 7 grand for a mower. And considering this (for the vast majority, if not all, at least) won’t be used by professionals and meant for homeowners, it’s simply way too expensive.
I bought one two years ago that has sealed lead acid batteries. Does anybody happen to know if I can switch to these batteries since my original ones are having problems.
Wow, this is interesting. I just tried to look them up on the Depot website and they were out of stock. Thanks for letting me know this as it is very strange 🤔
@@ToolReviewZone I just bought the 30” and was looking to add more juice. I’ll be interested if you find anything on this. You seem to have great knowledge with RYOBI and their brand.
My Ryobi worked good for 1year now won’t work I have fought it for 2 more years. I will never own another electric mower, my gas starts every time, I have owned it for 18 years and put $100 dollars it. The electric mowers battery replacement even the lead is $1800.
That is a whole lot of money and in 5 years those batteries are going to be shot and you may or may not be able to replace them for a small fortune. If they even last that long. Battery tech sucks without a major leap forward in battery tech stuff like this is going to keep being a waste of money. For what you pay for this thing you are far better off just paying a lawncare service.
batteries are about 900. you'll be spending penni's to charge them next to nothing in maintenance for those five years. so, yea there's a small trade off. depending on how much you use and how much fuel prices are and the cost of 12v batteries for a gas mower
People getting lazier and lazier. I remember when people cut their grass with a push blade. Then push mower, then normal riding mowers, then zero turns and now they don’t even wanna pour gas. Going electric zero turn😅 What’s next? A zero turn electric bed mower? 😂
3 80V batterys cost $2700. 4 40V 12 AH batterys will cost you $1600. THEY ONLY HAVE A LIFESPAN OF 5 YEARS. So that's $860 a year just for those batterys (not including charging price from the coal plant down the street). This wouldn't be worth it for a rider in my situation. Along with a lot of other people. I know there's enthusiast out there. Just have fun paying $4300 for batterys every 5 years.
As long as your neighbors think your nuts, take the beast down to the local Wally World and do some shopping. Keep the camera running, this will be epic.
I don't recall any of the introduction videos mentioning the 40V batteries. Do you know why it needs both the 80V and (4) 40V 12Ah batteries to operate?
Great but Ryobi's support is so trash that I cannot justify the price... i'm currently sitting on 48V 100mah ride on brick that Ryobi won't even respond to me or acknowledge that i have a problem.... probably because i'm close to being out of warranty :/. Love the tractor but they cannot be trusted with a 7-8k investment.
You need a set of flourescent green (Ryobi green) coveralls. That way they'll be able to see you from the International Space Station. That would make the transformation complete.
I saw the bigger width mowers at Home Depot for $4999 so the price definitely came down. I’m curious as to how the mower can hold up and what could be some downsides if it needed to be washed..
I bought 54" and a 42" for $779 and $642, respectively. I took my brother down there, and he bought a 42" in between my two purchases. His switch was locked up. Ryobi sent him another one. My screen doesn't work on the 54, and the switch seems to be intermittent. My 42 had a bad motor on the left side that seems to have damaged the motor control module, too. The motor on the other side has gone bad, too, now, and only runs in one direction. Something's loose inside it. Both motors had evidence of water damage, like maybe they had been partly submerged in flood water. Ryobi is sending replacement parts, but they're a pain in the butt to install. There's a 5 year warranty. I still think it's a good deal.
Mine cuts the blade off after twenty minutes. Also on a slope this thing slides a lot. Fun carnival ride just hang on. Also when power cuts off, it throws you while beeping loudly. Mine is two years old but very much a big disappointment.
WOW $7000 for a riding lawn mower no thanks i stay with gas mowers. shit i can get pretty nice gas riding mower for $2000-$3000. don't get me wrong that mower look pretty sweet but not for $7000 shit if that mower was $5000 i still wouldn't buy it . battery mowers prices need to go way down it to much money. probably shouldn't cut your grass till you got this mower cuz right now grass dont need grass cutting not showing us much with very low grass just saying
Dude...I can't. There is a line my balls just won't allow me to cross. Power tools, sure, they are all battery. BUT...early in life they were all corded. So that was just a transition from electric to electric. But when it comes to things that you drive...well, I was a gearhead long before I became a...home improvement...head (whatever). When we start talking about me putting my ASS on something that is battery powered...that starts to wreak of Prius. I am sorry, but I just could not live with myself if I did anything to make the Climate Claims whackadoodles approve. If I were to spend that much on a mower, that would be me swapping the motor out on my John Deere for a Cummings Diesel, or something. There are lines, bro.
Nobody really gives a crap with the climate change idiots think. You're saving money on gas, oil, maintenance. Saving your time on maintenance. Not breathing the fumes. Can hear yourself think, have a conversation. Those are all the benefits for my Ryobi self propelled cross cut push mower. If this machine didn't cost $7,000 I'd already be buying one. Now if you were on this cutting your grass and drinking a Bud Light they definitely will think you've switched to their side. Some things are just NO.

Jesus Christ, the value of 80v batteries alone is more than that!

Ok... I kinda would too 🤣🤣👊
What's next are the fully autonomous robotic mowers. They are coming on strong and getting better with every iteration.
Some of these guys need more time for Man Scaping.
I know it’s like your trade mark, but I cringe every time you force out the phrase “batt-ray”
Grown up wheel chair…

@ʟᴇᴛ'ꜱ ᴛᴀʟᴋ ᴏɴ ᴛᴇʟᴇɢʀᴀᴍ👉@ToolRZ what would you like to talk about🤔🤔🤔
3 80V batterys cost $2700. 4 40V 12 AH batterys will cost you $1600. THEY ONLY HAVE A LIFESPAN OF 5 YEARS. So that's $860 a year just for those batterys (not including charging price from the coal plant down the street). This wouldn't be worth it for a rider in my situation. Along with a lot of other people.
I know there's enthusiast out there. Just have fun paying $4300 for batterys every 5 years.
As I said on Instagram “I’m fast as £*{< Boy!!!”
These mowers are not that good yet. Somefay when the battery life and price are bettet they maybe ok.
As long as your neighbors think your nuts, take the beast down to the local Wally World and do some shopping. Keep the camera running, this will be epic.
Hehe, those old ladies won't stand a chance 😎😏
I don't recall any of the introduction videos mentioning the 40V batteries. Do you know why it needs both the 80V and (4) 40V 12Ah batteries to operate?
The 40v just give it a bit more run time. And if your 80v runs dry, pop in a new 40v to get it up on the trailer 👊
Great but Ryobi's support is so trash that I cannot justify the price... i'm currently sitting on 48V 100mah ride on brick that Ryobi won't even respond to me or acknowledge that i have a problem.... probably because i'm close to being out of warranty :/. Love the tractor but they cannot be trusted with a 7-8k investment.
Well done bud looks like it makes it more fun to cut lawn. Alot of money thou.
It's definitely not cheap brother, and I completely understand that. That said, it is a lot if fun 🤣👊
That mower is quick! Who needs a go-cart when you have that zero turn 😂
Dam right brother 😎👊
No your neighbors know you're nuts‼️🤣🤣🤣
Okay but is there a good bag attachment?!
cant you get a z-trak for that kind of money?
Maybe 🤔🤷
Good honest review job well done Clint
Cruise con rol
I’m sure this mower is far too big for your nemesis. Do they make a smaller unit for him? 😂
Lol 38" 🤣👊
Very cool! Just purchased a 30" for my smaller lot, can't wait to try it out! 🙂
I have the 30" and love it, little beast!
You need a set of flourescent green (Ryobi green) coveralls. That way they'll be able to see you from the International Space Station. That would make the transformation complete.
Lmao 🤣🤣🤣👊
Maybe I missed this but did you purchase this mower with your own money, or was it sent to you by Ryobi for free to review it?
I wasn't going to watch this since I'm waiting for my Ego to come in but this dude is so damn entertaining. I'm glad I watched and am subscribing
Haha, that's awesome thanks for the comment and welcome to the channel mowas!!!
I saw the bigger width mowers at Home Depot for $4999 so the price definitely came down. I’m curious as to how the mower can hold up and what could be some downsides if it needed to be washed..
Just got the smaller one for 3000
Congratulations Clint. I am glad you are happy with your purchase.
My gas mower is going up for sale as we speak. I really like this 😎👊
I bought 54" and a 42" for $779 and $642, respectively. I took my brother down there, and he bought a 42" in between my two purchases. His switch was locked up. Ryobi sent him another one. My screen doesn't work on the 54, and the switch seems to be intermittent. My 42 had a bad motor on the left side that seems to have damaged the motor control module, too. The motor on the other side has gone bad, too, now, and only runs in one direction. Something's loose inside it. Both motors had evidence of water damage, like maybe they had been partly submerged in flood water. Ryobi is sending replacement parts, but they're a pain in the butt to install. There's a 5 year warranty. I still think it's a good deal.
Mine cuts the blade off after twenty minutes. Also on a slope this thing slides a lot. Fun carnival ride just hang on. Also when power cuts off, it throws you while beeping loudly. Mine is two years old but very much a big disappointment.
WOW $7000 for a riding lawn mower no thanks i stay with gas mowers. shit i can get pretty nice gas riding mower for $2000-$3000. don't get me wrong that mower look pretty sweet but not for $7000 shit if that mower was $5000 i still wouldn't buy it . battery mowers prices need to go way down it to much money. probably shouldn't cut your grass till you got this mower cuz right now grass dont need grass cutting not showing us much with very low grass just saying
Dude...I can't. There is a line my balls just won't allow me to cross.
Power tools, sure, they are all battery. BUT...early in life they were all corded. So that was just a transition from electric to electric. But when it comes to things that you drive...well, I was a gearhead long before I became a...home improvement...head (whatever). When we start talking about me putting my ASS on something that is battery powered...that starts to wreak of Prius.
I am sorry, but I just could not live with myself if I did anything to make the Climate Claims whackadoodles approve. If I were to spend that much on a mower, that would be me swapping the motor out on my John Deere for a Cummings Diesel, or something.
There are lines, bro.
valid
Hahaha, this had me cracking up Kennedy!!!
@@ToolReviewZone hey hey, I'll be here all week. Remember to tip your waitresses.
@@kennedymcgovern5413 🤣👊👊👊
Nobody really gives a crap with the climate change idiots think.
You're saving money on gas, oil, maintenance. Saving your time on maintenance.
Not breathing the fumes.
Can hear yourself think, have a conversation.
Those are all the benefits for my Ryobi self propelled cross cut push mower.
If this machine didn't cost $7,000 I'd already be buying one.
Now if you were on this cutting your grass and drinking a Bud Light they definitely will think you've switched to their side.
Some things are just NO.
So you are saying after you take out a tractor loan you can purchase one of these and all three batrees LOL
Elephant in the room....$4,300 in batteries before tax!!!
