Very happy with my Zero Turn mower

I mow just under an acre. The first time, about a third of that was tall grass, higher than me sitting on the mower. I just went slowly and the mower handled the tall grass really well.
The only issue I've had was the tire popped off the right front wheel once, possibly after hitting an unseen (until after) hole. Customer service promptly sent me a replacement wheel/tire assembly and I was back in business.
Totally happy with my purchase.
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Quiet

First one in my area; neighbors are intrigued

My first zero turn and first battery mower. My lot is about .75 acre and hilly so I have to be a bit careful on the slopes. It takes about an hour to mow front, side and back, and I usually have about 30-40% charge left. Compared to my ICE tractors, it is much more comfortable with good leg room. Steering is quite different from the steering wheel to which I am accustomed. I find the levers to be much less tiring, though it took a few minutes to learn how to avoid jerking. There is no suspension, so the ride can get a bit bumpy on irregular terrain. Putting an adjustable suspension on the seat might make for an easier ride. As others have said, it would be nice to be able to charge the batteries while they remain in in the mower. I appreciate the flexibility of being able to remove the batteries, but having the option to recharge them in the mower would be a plus.
I still use ear protection when the mower deck is on, but the noise level definitely is lower than with a gas mower. And when the deck is off, I can glide quietly around the yard on the mower. Hitch points on the front and rear are handy for pulling a cart or moving things around the lot. I like the rear cargo hold; again, a lot of flexibility. I strapped a battery operated sprayer in there and cruised around my yard zapping weeds.
On slopes, sometimes the left drive wheel (rear) loses traction. I've learned how to recover, but it can be a bother. Offsetting that inconvenience is the ability to pivot direction much faster than a regular tractor. I finish my lot in about 15 minutes less time while going a the same or slower pace as with my old tractor.
Overall, I am very well pleased with the CrossoverZ. I used to see mowing as a necessary drudge, but now I look forward to getting on the Greenworks to cut the grass.

low battery
on June 7, 2023
Posted by: Boise mower man
from Boise ID
Gender:Male
The mower cuts well, but we only have a 1/4 acre, and the batteries lose 50% of their charge. We keep the grass low and mow 2 to 3 times weekly so it's not thick.
Pros: Convenient
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from greenworkstools.comBy Greenworks , June 8, 2023
Hello Boise mower man,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are sorry to hear you are experiencing shorter than normal runtime.
For best results users should:
1) Mow when the grass is dry.
2) Mow in the morning or late afternoon to reduce the heat stress on the newly cut grass.
3) Alternate mowing patterns each time you mow. As grass develops a grain based on your cutting direction it will lean towards the direction of your mowing path. Changing the pattern allows better vertical growth and helps to keep the cut neater.
4) Consider mulching. To mulch, remove the bag and insert the mulch plug into the rear of the unit. This will leave the clippings on the lawn allowing the nutrients and nitrogen contained within them to return to the soil and allow the remaining grass to recycle them (always discharge the mulch towards a previously cut area to prevent your mower from bogging down).
5) Always keep in mind what conditions your variety of grass prefers. If your grass prefers cooler climates, reduce the frequency with which you mow and increase the cutting height of your mower during hot seasons to compensate for the reduced growth rate these varieties may experience in this type of weather.
6) Make sure the battery is cool before use. When the battery will not be in use, we suggest storing it indoors, in a cool dry area - away from direct sunlight. Leave the charger unplugged and the battery disconnected from the charger unless it needs charging.
Lastly it is worth noting, lawn mower that provides more than one battery ports; it is recommend using all batteries for optimal runtime. This unit requires all six (6) batteries for optimal runtimes.
We hope these tips will help! If not, we would be happy to investigate to see whether your run time would be considered average, please contact Greenworks Solution Service Team at 1-877-481-6087. All we ask that you have access to the unit so that we can complete troubleshooting with you and gather necessary unit information.

Quiet, fast, comfortable, and easy to use.

I purchased this PRO 80V 42" CROSSOVERZ Zero Turn Lawn Mower about two months ago. So far, it's been performing up to or above my expectation. It's hard to tell it's on after starting the mower. It's fairly quiet even with the slow blade speed chosen. However, it gets a little noisier when engaging the high blade speed. In either case, it's much quieter than my old gas engine riding mower. The battery set (6 at a time) lasts mowing my 1/2-acre yard twice at a minimum before having to use my other backup set (came extra with the purchase - Total of 12-80V). I'm very happy with this purchase and looking forward to investing in battery powered tools going forward.
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Quiet, Durable, Environmentally Safe, Effective, Powerful

Runs great, cuts great, but hard to put in reverse even with the seat all the way back. I have to push the handles hard into my chest to go in reverse.
Pros: Easy to Use

We are so, so, so glad we FINALLY decided to buy the Pro 80V 42 inch Crossover riding mower! We're seniors and have an acre of partially wooded lot, with some slopes that are probably 15% grade. I was rather scared to attempt the hills (wifey here) but now that I watched my husband give it a go I just had to do it myself, and no problem. We haven't had to actually mow yet because the growing season is on hold for the year. But we've both taken turns running all over, up and down the driveway, slopes, around trees and bushes, practicing with our new mower. This is now going to be a joy for the hot Florida months of growing season here, instead of a dread with a push mower.
With battery power this baby shows no fear of ability in it's work. Amazing power. And we've only been using 1 battery in our practice runs. I like that the speed can be regulated from slow to fast with the button. Steering is very sensitive to drive, making fast turns, even in the slow position. That's why we're just practicing for now. But we've got it figured out.
We live in the woods and with that comes wild boars routing up the yard for acorns. Hubby rakes the ruts over and I've been driving our new mower over the ruts with the tires, to smoothe them down. This is so much fun! I don't want our beautiful lawn torn up by the hogs but don't mind so much since we can smooth them down with the big tires....Until next year.
