I bought the 60v, zero turn version. It was a pricing mistake last July. They sent me a 40% off coupon to use on any item. It went on sale for $4,000 and I used my coupon to buy it for $2,400 along with a 60v chain saw, blower and pole trimmer.

As for performance. It came with 6 x 8ah batteries. Fully charged it will mow an acre 2.5 times at full speed. Once you get comfortable with the speed (it's fast) you put the blades on high speed and you can mow an acre in less than an hour. I sold my John Deere and never looked back. Best part is mowing early in the morning or late to avoid the heat and it's quiet enough to not disturb the neighbors. Headlights are super bright as well. Hope that helps.

P.S. Same price if you buy direct and with free shipping. I'd get the 60v Zero-turn for the same price as those 80v. The 60v mows at 8mph vs. 5mph for the 80v. And the 60v eco-system has tons of tools. You're getting 6 batteries and 3 dual chargers so you may as well get into one voltage and take full advantage. These batteries are $349 apiece so you're getting ~$2,100 worth of batteries. May as well put their 4 year warranty to good use.

So when the batteries die you will have to spend thousands of $ to replace them?

That's where my hesitation lies. I asked Greenworks tools the following question related to the 80v 54" MaximusZ, and you can see their answer which did not address/alleviate my two main concerns. I.e. calendar life and lack of replacement batteries. Their answer almost implies that cycle count is the only factor to battery life which is not the case. In my example, 1500 cycle would take 25 years, but we all know these batteries are not going to last 25 years. And, if either of two suitcase style batteries goes out after the 4-year warranty, you're mower is useless.

QUESTION: Since GWT does not sell replacement suitcase batteries, the mower's end-of-life coincides with the life of these batteries. What is the expected calendar life of these batteries assuming ~60 cycles/season and charged to full/stored full after each use?

ANSWER: Thank you for your question. Our suitcase batteries have a 1500 cycles expected lifespan (battery expected to drop to 80% capacity after 1500 cycles). We hope this helped!

This seems unusual that such a basic code (I.e. not one-time use) works on their pricier tools like zero turn mowers - do you know if this is typical?

I'm trying to decide between a 60v and 80v MaximusZ Zero Turn Mower and I see that both advertise compatibility with 75+ tools so don't both eco-systems have the same number of tools?

Also, you may know this, but 80V batteries pack more energy capacity at any given Ah rating and so you really need to convert to kWh to compare value between battery packs. E.g. Q6 60V 5 Ah batteries may seem better than Q5 80V 5 Ah batteries, but that's not really the case. The 60V batteries pack 1.8 kWh (6x60x5) while the 80V batteries pack 2.0 kWh (5x80x5) of energy.

I have another general question for those that live in colder climates that routinely get below freezing. I.e. Where do you store your mower? For the MaximusZ zero turn, the manual states that the product storage temperature range is "32°F~95°F." My mower would be in the garage where is routinely gets down below freezing and may get as cold as 0 deg F in the winter. Below is the Question and Answer I posted on GWT Web site related to this issue and they pretty much saif the mower should be stored indoors (presumably an HVAC controlled environment).

QUESTION: The user manual states a product storage temp. range of 32°F~95°F. I live in the NE U.S. and winters routinely get below 32°F in my garage where the mower (batteries could be stored inside) would be stored. Would this impact the reliability or warranty?

ANSWER: Thank you for your question. Keeping the unit stored indoors is recommended, even with those temperatures. To comply with the warranty, we advised for all batteries to be stored indoors. Should you have any further questions, please contact Greenworks Customer Experience at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS) or start a live chat and we will be happy to assist you further. We hope this helped!

4 year warranty. Some of mine are coming up on year 6. (I had the 60v self propelled first). No issues.

If you're deciding between 60 and 80- I have 60 and love it. But I'm sure 80 is great and 80v tools go on sale more often than 60v.

About $5500 for the 60v 54" with the coupon code you posted.

I have the 60v 42". Mows at 8mph, 2.5 acres per charge and fully fits my needs. Same for the 60v tools. Never felt a need for 80v, but once you pick a voltage…..best to stay with it.
