You don’t have to sell me on a zero-turn riding lawn mower. As someone who has a half an acre yard, I’ve been mowing with zero turn lawn mowers since I bought my house. They’re speedy and make maneuvering around the many trees and obstacles in my yard easier. I’ve even been able to use them to mow the slopes in my yard (with lots of care of course).
However, I’ve been using gas-powered zero-turn riding mowers – and to be honest, gas-powered machinery isn’t my favorite. Sure, I like that they’re powerful and seemingly have an endless supply of fuel, but they’re loud, emit exhaust, and require much more maintenance. You can understand then why I was very excited to try a battery-powered zero-turn riding lawn mower – the John Deere Z370R Electric ZTRAK Mower.
