the ultimate mulch test no I'm not going to mulch a goat don't worry no goat Curry for us well I'm
doing some mad skids and donuts which way's home I'm a bit dizzy so here we have the wee bang ion
106 ZT zero turn yes it's a battery powered Zero Turn Mower we're gonna put it through his Paces
let's check it out tested by Machinery Nation so we're very familiar with we bang machines they've
been making rotary lawn mowers and roller mowers scarifiers aerators and lots of other Machinery as
well for many years and what we want to find out is is this got the build quality of a commercial
machine on a domestic level yes it is built like a brick Outhouse it is very very strong just take
the front casters for instance they are made from about 10 mil plate steel it is built like a zero
turn should be with proper steel all the way through the chassis and all the way around the
machine is built very very heavy duty so coming around to the rear of the machine that quality
is continuing everything is all closed in nicely so you're not going to get sticks and debris in
where you don't want it and right down to the rear tow hitch is a proper bit of steel plate
this nice to see a battery-powered machine made to the same quality as a petrol one so the controls
are very similar to what you'd expect from other zero turns on the market you've got your lap bar
steering where you've got Fords you've got reverse and you've got your turning the user interface
again is very very similar you've got a key you've got your PTO lever to engage your Blaze and you've
got your control settings and you've got your little LCD display to show you what your battery
levels are so the height adjustment lever is nice and traditional you've got all the way down to 15
millimeters and all the way up to 150 millimeters yes Old English is four inches something zero turn
this is your speed control the further you push it forward the faster you go the further you pull
it back the slower you go and you come to a stop and then you handbrake traditionally on a petrol
machine is you push out with the levers but with this one obviously being battery operated you've
actually got a foot brake there so that's if you're into real trouble you want to break
quickly you can press your foot brick and then it's also got the handbrake here on the side
so for when you want to stop as your park brake you pull that one up and it's got a nice little
ratchet action which I like you know it's proper traditional way of having a break and I like that
it's a nice feature one of my favorite features of them all as some of you might already know if
you watched our previous videos I do love a cup holder and this doesn't just have one though it
has two and also a storage compartment this side and another one the other side oh great and you
may be asking James what are your arms resting on well it's called an arm rest it's extremely
exciting because they're not just any armrests no they're adjustable if you've got longer or
shorter arms and you want them to line up with your sticks in the front you can adjust them so
they go there I think that should be on every single mower available not just arm rests but
adjustable armrests yes please do it I like it just almost almost so the deck is not just a
side discharge so if you don't want to squirt your grass out all over your lawn or into your
vegetable beds you can put the mulch plug on put that nutrients back down into your lawn but this
side flap has got to be noted most side flaps on the market they're either really rigid and
they're breaking crack or they're really floppy and they just well they just flop but this one
is sorry should we say a little bit in between you can do that to it but it's not floppy it
goes back to its perfect shape again it's just exactly if you go up against a tree and hit it
with a tree or up against a wall it's going to move underneath the back of the mower are two
whopping big motors we Bang have not done this by half they've actually put in something very
substantial and I know it's something that they've built themselves because it's got well it's got we
bang stamped into the side of it right so as we're in the Machinery Nation I hope you're already
subscribed to our channel it's now time to test it and cut some grass thank you mochi mochi the
wee Bank ion 106 ZT runs on a 72 volt system with the integral battery containing 75 amp hours which
is enough to cut up to 1.5 Acres or 120 Minutes depending on your terrain and grass condition
it's extremely easy to keep in a straight line and
the deck sticks out slightly on the edge so you're able to Edge cut really nicely
say travel spread is pretty impressive and also it stays in a nice straight line it's what you
need any good at Donuts yeah please subscribe A major benefit to this machine it's got two
travel speeds yes it's got Sloan it's got fast so if you're going around beds and borders you
can go nice and slow or say let's say you're loading onto a trailer or into your shed and
it's a little bit tight and phonetically you've got that a little bit more control whereas if
you're on a large long area of grass and you want to keep going really quickly then you can
put it in fast mode as you see here you've got a button which is hair and tortoise and all you do
is press the button and it changes the dial on the screen here so you've got hair there press
it once it goes green and it changes to tortoise obviously tortoise being slow and here being fast
live my favorite thing to do top grass
yeah
big bulky gun yeah
gotta say that's left a lovely clean finish then what's that cutting like four or five
inches worth of grass and a load of nettles and everything as well I was taking it back
down to being yellow again that's quite impressive oh so now you want to eat it
let me cut it up for you a little bit more yeah it's the ultimate mulch test no I'm
not going to mulch a goat don't worry no goat Curry for us this isn't what it's designed for
wow
I'm pretty impressive it's not really designed for this it's a lawnmower at the end of the day it's
designed for what we've been already cutting but I know some of you will want to push it a little bit
further and cut your Paddock or your orchard oh that's still doing it I had a bit of a fart then
but you know it's cutting it oh we're going onto a slope we're into unknown territory now James
going downhill this is like a 15 degree slope so you know but it's still cutting it back up the
slope for 15 degrees again they've got gravity against us but it's throwing that grass out
as any other mower wood so this is like 20 degree slopes sideways
no worries no problems can it make the corner and go up over and then we've got a steepest
slope over here which my son has had the Digger and made a steeper track for his school bike but
yeah no worries at all yeah so yeah no problems 15 degrees absolutely fine I like it it's good so
build quality tick Comfort tick mulching tick tide discharge and lush green grass tick side
discharging in horrible tall dry thistly grass tick and on the slopes a tick it's got some great
positives about this machine and if you'd like to see one for yourselves we Bang have a nationwide
