I've got an ego 42" zero turn...mowed 27hrs & it started acting up, randomly stops the drive function. Something wrong with lcd or wiring. Ego sent a company to pick it up for repair, waiting on return. Approximately 11 days to get it back. I'm just glad they take care of it under warranty for 5 years. I like electric, it is quiet, no maintenance...just plug it in & go & sharpen blades like any. Its fast too, doesn't require full throttle noise like gas. Because I'm running renewable energy I will not have any expenses associated with it until I need batteries.

Right on!

This si the most interesting electric tractor so far. Saw a write up mention arm rests accessory but none on their site yet, that would be a nice add on. Curious how it would do in tall grass and in a mulching setup. Being able to charge all the batteries at once is also excellent.

I get around 90 minutes of run time on mine set low speed cruise about 3/4 throttle and the blades at top speed. Just turned 4 hours of run time. So far I like mine except for the 1 and 1/2 inch play(slop) in the steering along with a noisy clanking front end when the blades are off ! New mower with a 1.5 inch sloppy front end ~ MADE IN CHINA ! ~ Purchased at Lowe's in Michigan

I'd love to watch a video of this thing climbing hills / slopes of different grades. Buying a tractor, instead of a zero turn, is often going to be due to the fact that zero turns are very bad on steep slopes. That said, would love to see if this thing can muscle up to the steeper slopes.

How well dies it handle debris buildup on the mowing deck? My gas powered mower (with spindles) isn’t effected by some debris , like grass cuttings/leaves that get caught up around the spindles.

@Kitearmy

Not a problem that I have heard

It's a cool concept and would work well for small yards and places that may have a noise ordinance, however in the long run it's not very practical. The biggest flaw with the design that I see is the mower deck spindles. If you were to run over something that you may not see and damage the motors that would be a very expensive fix along with the wires that are hanging that power the deck could be easily destroyed if something were to catch on them.

I just swapped out my turf tires for bar tread tires. Instant gratification, no more slipping, well at least 80% less.

Nice video the only suggestion I have is to not have music playing when showing the mower operation. This is the first electric riding mower video I’ve seen and I know I’m not the only one curious about the noise level of the mower. My only problem with these mowers in principle is the battery packs don’t appear to be standardized, which means if the company goes belly up you won’t be able to buy new batteries and now your mower is junk. I really wish companies could get together and develop standards for this stuff and I believe that would benefit everyone including the companies themselves.

EGO equipment is made really well. BUT... If you have a warranty issue, not so good. I purchased a leaf blower from Lowe's, 4 of them actually. One of them just quit. Lowe's doesn't service EGO equipment, even with their extended warranty. Had to drive 45 minutes to a Northern Hydraulics service center and pay for a service diagnostic fee. It was determined it was under warranty. You have to deal with foreign customer service. Their English was terribly broken and they were extremely rude. It took 4 months to get a replacement shipped to me. So, Ask about warranty first before purchasing one.

great video Andrew, but Ego dropped the ball on some things IMO. They should have included bigger 10.0 or 12.0 batteries and have less of them like the Z6 42inch. Charger is also smaller Wattage, should only have the big 1600W one for all mowers. I tried that shifter at the store and it is very flimsy and won't stand the test of time. As I saw on other videos online, the battery compartment isn't sealed very well. I fear those stamped decks won't last long, Ego should only have fabricated decks for such premium prices.

The EGO Z6 52" is a stamped deck. I had a concern about the shifter as well. I guess time will tell how rugged it is.

The ztr is too big, but will the tractor fit in a 3yd dumpster?

So I just traded my Z6 Zero Turn for a T6. The mower is great for what I need however there is a lot of “play” in the steering wheel making an awful clacking noise. I was wondering if it was assembled incorrectly or missing a bushing or something. Also, I can slightly “lift up” on the steering wheel and hear the same metal clanking noise. All bolts appear to be tightened. Does your mower make this noise and can also feel it in the steering, especially on bumpy lawns. And before anyone asks, it’s not the deck that has its own acceptable noises. Any feedback would be appreciated!
