was watching me all I wanted was a little bit of me time so I've made a few changes in my life and
wanted to be greener but what do you think of when I say Greenworks no not a super healthy iron and
this smoothly you should be thinking company with leading products in lithium-ion battery
technology so Greenworks who are they so Greenworks products was originally set
up in 2007 by a holding company called Globe products Greenworks itself produces domestic
and commercial equipment in the garden machinery and homeowner sector they also produce commercial
equipment like the creamer and if you haven't seen that video James has done please check it
out so currently in the lineup they've got lawn mowers blowers hedge Cutters strimmers robotic
mowers pressure washers walk behind mowers so what else could they bring to a comprehensive
battery lineup yes that's right it's a battery ride on and in First Impressions it looks a hell
of a bit of Kit I can't wait to get cutting on this machine let's start her up and get going
so already I can feel this machine is built very very well it's got cast iron front axle
on the steering which even a lot of modern day petrol machines don't have that function so
it's really really strong it's got a 42 inch deck which is 106 centimeters which is side
discharge or mulch so you've got the longer grass Chuck it out the side you've got four
more lawn and one of mulch but the plug on the side the other thing with this one is it goes
eight miles per hour that is rapid look at it right so we'll fire up the blades now bear in
mind these motors produce about 24 horsepowers equivalent to a petrol machine so I'm expecting
some power let's fire up and see what she'll do there's a lot of power there but you can still
hear me talking the other thing to bear in mind with this one is it is rated to carve to and a
half acres of ground with the six batteries that can be stowed underneath now I'll talk about the
batteries in a minute because there is positives and negatives to the system which I think you'll
want to hear about right we'll drop down the deck and we are in mulch mode at the moment
let's drop it down a little bit more so we're on two and a half inches now just taking it nice and
steady see what the results are like yeah it's given a really clean finish the grass is quite
green and Lush after the drought that we've had here in the UK I'm really really impressed with
this machine the cutting deck itself is 12 gauge so it means it's quite thick and it's reinforced
as well so it'll take a bit of a hammering especially if you've got the rougher ground
the other thing with it it's got a nice quite quite tight turning Circle you've got nice
chunky tires on the front so a lot of battery products are quite small you know this one does
feel quite robust so definitely a thumbs up right so this machine will cut from an inch and a half
up to four and a half inches the other benefit from it is you've got a cruise control this
set it take your foot off and there you go I'm just slowly Meandering my way around the garden
it just feels right this machine everything is you know solid so first thoughts is I am
really really impressed with this machine but I told you we've moved onto the battery
Saga now this machine can take up to six 60 volt batteries so a lot of other brands on
the market use the same system you slide your batteries out charge and put them back in or
charge them in the unit with this one it's a little bit different so Greenworks really
thought about this design they've got six batteries in a compartment under the seat
which means you haven't got a big back end to the machine or a big front end it's quite nice
and compact which means everything is nice and sturdy so Under This Hood we've got six 60 volt
six amp hour batteries one two three four five six so it means the batteries can be removed
separately and put into a range of other 60 volt tools which means the range is endless
Miss headscar has got a nice Swiss rear handle and sits
comfortably in the mid-range of their head cutters
so this is the 60 volt strimmer in the range and it does feel really really strong but what gets me
is they've got so many different battery voltage systems they've got a 12 a 24 a 40 a 60 an 80 and
an 82 volt which range do you have and why do you think you benefit from that one so I think this
system is fantastic I really love the mower and the 60 volt kit we've got here but I have got one
gripe and that's a battery charging system let me explain So currently this machine is running
six 60 volt batteries and we will pop that back in there so Greenworks at the moment produce a single
and a double Bay charger which means I've got six batteries in there it means I need three charges
which is going to take hell of a lot of space up in your shed if you're charging all batteries
what Green Works really needs to do to make this product one of the top ones on the market is bring
out a six Bay charger or even something where you can charge the batteries in situ come on green Max
sort it out anyway let's do some more cutting so the other features you get with this machine
a really nice LED lights you've got the mulch plug as standard comes with a rear cargo box as
well which takes up to 200 pounds it's really really handy if you want to take all your yoga
equipment around the Garden or even want to collect your hedge cuttings or anything like
that Chuck it in the back we've got a spring assisted seat and it's leather as well really
feels very premium and unlike the cream the jeans had an issue with I've actually got a
drinks holder USB port and little sandwich boxy thingy majiggy this machine as well
comes with a steel robust frame and it oozes quality as you're driving around the garden
just Everything feels so comfortable and also the drive system on it is very very smooth as
well although this machine isn't a zero turn it does come with a really nice steering system it's
really tight and also the steering wheel is almost like leather effect really really comfortable
babe babe now this by far is the best feature is the receiver hitch on the front of the mower
and if you need to tow anything around your garden like this lovely Nugent stock Trader
on this little quad trailer I got here and you can do that look so maneuverable well
I'm going to just drive around the garden there we go I'm gonna put James's goats in the back
in there oh oh nearly went offline actually that's yes quite well I mean obviously this
is not designed to tow a quad trailer but they are bringing that range of attachments I reckon
to fit on a ball hitch but I thought I'd just show you this feature it was a bit of something
funny so that is the green where it's crossover tea I've had a fantastic time today filming it
