What is Zero-turn?

 

The new Zero-turn mower from Ryobi has a "Zero Centimetre Turning Radius", but what does this mean? The ride-on mower utilises differential steering, enabling you to turn on the spot in any direction. This ensures complete cutting coverage in the tightest of spaces.

DRIVETRAIN & HANDLING

Get in, out and around the tightest places of your lawn with responsive and intuitive handling. A simple push on the lap bar steering quietly delivers unrelenting torque directly to the high-powered Brushless motor drivetrain system. Turn on the spot in any direction; the independent Brushless motors rotate the rear wheels in opposite directions for quick-tight turns.

BLADE CUTTING SYSTEM

Turn on the spot and experience the ultimate cutting performance every single time. A simple push or pull of the 12-position deck adjustment lever sets your chosen mowing height between 35mm-115mm. Mow with more precision and less noise, while the dual Brushless motors deliver unrelenting torque for the twin blade cutting system.

DURABILITY & STRENGTH

Built from the grass up, with a steel foundation for maximum durability and strength that lasts season after season. Ride with confidence, while the reinforced 12 gauge steel deck and rugged frame design withstand the abuse of rigorous mowing jobs. Experience low maintenance, exceptional durability and protection to match with the Ryobi 3-Year Extended Warranty.

DESIGN & COMFORT

Designed for comfort with the end user in mind. The oversized plush seat and overmould handles absorb the vibrations of harsh terrain. Experience superior comfort and convenience, with automotive-inspired features like the spacious foot resting area, cup holders, enclosed storage compartments and LED headlights.

LED HEADLIGHTS

  • While riding at dawn, dusk or in shaded areas, powering on the LED headlights delivers the visibility you need. These super bright LED headlights iluminate further and wider for safer navigation in dim lit environments.

LOW SPEED CUT OPTION

  • When tackling dense or overgrown grass conditions, engaging the low speed cut option delivers the torque you need to get the job done. This mowing feature reduces blade speed and optimises cutting performance in challenging conditions.

LOW SPEED DRIVE OPTION

  • Engage this button to reduce speed for smooth and steady navigation. Whether you’re manoeuvring in and out of your storage area or garage, or in between lawn obstacles, engaging the low speed drive option delivers the control you need.

BATTERY LEVEL INDICATOR

  • The battery level indicator simultaneously monitors, adjusts and displays your batteries' charge percentage. The easy-to-read on-board LED screen keeps you informed at all times so that you can complete the job with confidence.

USB PORT

  • Featuring an on-board USB charging port so you keep your phone charged and safely protected until the job is done.

BATTERY CARE

This Ryobi mower uses the same battery technology as found in most cars. The benefits of this technology are long runtimes and cost-efficient power, perfect for this type of mower. To maintain the long runtime and power, it is required to charge the battery when not in use – particularly in cold conditions - to prevent a ‘flat battery’ situation. The charger is designed to keep your battery fully conditioned when you’re not using the ride-on mower. We recommend keeping it continuously plugged-in.
