Walmart has the Greenworks 60V 54" Maximus (or MaximusZ?) Zero Turn Riding Mower with (2) 20.0 Ah, (2) 8.0 Ah & (2) 4.0 Ah Batteries and 1.5kW Charger model 7422302 or $4497. This is the best price I have seen this mower by over $1000. I.e. It's been on sale for $6498 direct from Greenworks and there is an available 15% coupon that brings it down to $5523.

PROS
- Suspension seat
- Roll over protection
- Built in LED lights
- Front (powered) and rear hitches
- 8 Mph travel/mowing speed
- Fast blade tip speed supported by high torque motors (unlikely to bog down)
- Integrated dump bed
CONS
- Stated runtime is 85 minutes with included batteries, but this is likely under ideal conditions - can be upgraded by swapping out the two 4 Ah batteries with 8 Ah batteries and that might provide a 12% bump in runtime
- Greenworks support is questionable (e.g. will they supply repair parts in 5 or 10 years?), and repair network is certainly not ubiquitous in the states
- Calendar life of batteries unknown
- Use manual states the mower should be stored at or above 32 deg F which may not be possible for those who store mower in unconditioned spaces in colder climates. Batteries can be removed and stored indoors.
