Mow your lawn almost silently.
John Deere just released what the company calls the industry’s first all-electric zero-turn mower. It hopes to solve several pain points of electric mowers by using EV-like sealed lithium-ion battery packs and offers longer runtime for big mowing jobs.
And while this isn’t technically the first electric zero-turn, the new John Deere Z370R Electric ZTrak is a high-end $6,400 electric riding mower with all kinds of bells and whistles.
The company says it can easily mow up to 2 acres per charge thanks to the large 3.2 kWh lithium-ion battery that’s sealed inside the machine. This also means homeowners won’t have to worry about dust, debris or water, and John Deere even hoses them down after mowing.
It offers zero operating emissions and no engine noise, along with zero-turn capabilities and a low-profile 42-inch deck. More importantly, Deere warrants battery packs for up to 5 years or 200 hours.
You’ll find dual adjustable electric mowers, a nearly 5-inch-deep deck, and a large LCD screen packed with information and controls, like its optional MulchControl. Fortunately, it offers the same 7 mph top speed as John Deere’s gas-powered variants.
Apparently the LCD screen will help with zero spin using three different modes. That way, you’ll get the perfect mowing lines and have the most attractive yard in the neighborhood.
The new all-electric Z370R ZTrak electric is available with an optional 6.5 bu rear bagger to collect grass clippings and leaves, recharges anywhere with a standard grounded 120V extension cord, and is now available for orders in advance.
