Most of our grass is Bahia with some sections of St. Augustine. Greenworks is tossing its hat into the battery-powered zero-turn ring. We initially saw prototypes for the Greenworks Pro 60V zero-turn lawn mower and its lawn tractor cousin a couple of years ago.
I had the lever moved about 3/4 the way to hare and the self-propelled walking speed was too slow for me—and I’m a leisurely mower. Yet the full-on hare setting was too fast resulting in a small selection range between too slow and too fast. Keep in mind that mowing speed is a personal thing, so YMMV.
We could see the Greenworks Pro being a great option for those with decks and outdoor furniture. Having no cord to get tangled up on would make that sort of clean-up a lot easier. We also think it’d be great for someone with a patio or porch that needs frequent sweeping. It’s as easy to grab as a broom, but it does the work in a fraction of the time. And because it’s so quiet, we don’t think it’d disrupt the neighbors if you used it several times a week.
With the included batteries, the Greenworks Pro 60V 25-inch self-propelled lawn mower easily handles up to a 1/2-acre on a regular basis—possibly more. The Greenworks 25-inch lawn mower sucks grass up pretty well with its default blades. We checked the bag and it collected a lot more material than we find with many competing brands. We saw even more grass hit the bag when using their high lift blades. If you like to bag your grass, you’ll love this mower. Examining the evenness of cut, we found the Greenworks 60V 25-inch lawnmower to leave a very even path with few irregularities.
Push the battery pack into the battery compartment until the battery pack locks into place. Align the ribs on the battery pack with the grooves in the battery compartment. RisRemove objects that can be thrown by the blade in any direction. Wear safety glasses.DANGER –Steep Slope HazardUse extra caution on slopes. Never operate the mower without proper guards, plates, or other safety protective devices in place.
