8 Hour run time...Electric Zero turn mower from Toro? We gotta see this! 

Man I’ll tell ya…they’re impressive! 8 hours run time!

@@StoneyRidgeFarmer thats fine. I still prefer a old diesel garden tractor

@@StoneyRidgeFarmer how much are they?

me too

I agree with your thought process.....but here's the driving factor. PEOPLE WANT IT TO BE CHEAP AND EASY!! Food in this country has to be CHEAP!! Imagine planting 3000 acres with a 6ft planter...it's not gonna happen my friend. So..it's not a trend towared "bigger is better" it's a trend toward reduced manpower, efficiency and effectiveness. If we're gonna feed a nation a bunch of soy/corn garbage and call it cheap food....subsidized by the gov't...then we gotta have large machines to get the job done. I grow enough microgreens here for my consumption on the farm, costs me $100 per year to do it on my own...without a tractor. It's about efficiency my friend...the factory farm industrialized food industry in this country. Folks spend $200 on a fancy bottle of bourbon, $150 on dinner out with the family....but complain when grass fed beef costs 1/3 more.....and go buy preservative filled fried potato chips!

@StoneyRidgeFarmer I should re-phrase that. As far as battery and automated technology goes, is that balance of efficiency, cost, etc. going to be smaller but faster units or multiple units working together, or is it still going to be larger units? I don't see batteries powering combines or tillage equipment, but I could see them powering automated versions of smaller seed drills such as the no-till drill that showed up in your videos about 5 years ago.

Awesome, thank you!

dude! Me too!

it sure was!

remember, the rear wheels are for traction...the front just supports the mower as a caster my brotha

I like the toro, but maybe sometime we'll try Gravely

awesome!

commercial equipment cost big bucks.....but some municipalities and states are going all electric.....I'm sure the cost will settle down once the technology catches up

I do believe the battery life has a 5 or 6 year residential warranty....but you'd need to go to TORO.com to look it up....it's amazing how many leaps and bounds this technology has taken in the past few years!

so funny how I can show ya what the future is bringing and folks reject it as political .....I guess when farmers used mules and oxen to plow they thought tractors were stupid too lol

yep....I like his vids...but he doesn't take care of things like I do...that's just part of his content....beat on it till it breaks lol...push, pull and drag!

these guys are influencers/creators participating in a field day put on by Toro ...it's a pretty fun thing!

let's see....when ya mow for a living and you have no down time for maintenance, oil changes and or if ya mow places like apartment complexes you can charge a premium for all electric machinery...it's not a joke, it's what's coming in the future my friend....technology is advancing. Average cost to mow a yard in a subdivision is $100....mow 20 in a day...I think you can see the ROI...mow a 10 commercial properties at $300 each in a day....pays for itself in less than a month my friend...then no more fuel stops, oil changes ect

@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Ill be waiting to see when you run an all electric fleet

you won't see it because I'm not a lawn care professional...check out "blades of grass" youtube channel...he's the Guru on this electric gear
