Hello and guddai fellow weekend grass cutters. At my age I doit every day, if desired; cut the grass. I downgraded to a Electric ZTR with iDrive. I don't like it as well as the carbon spewing, gas guzzling, annual maintenance required services of Lap Bar Steering Hustler ZTR. Mostly I don't...

Hello All. I've a Hustler Raptor with 42" manufactured deck, and a CRAP Kawasaki FR651 that has spun it's last RPM. Engineering SNAFU with ACR, automatic compression release, that has finally accepted for the last time, a reach-around manual choking to facilitate start-up. Seems Kawasaki has...

I watched a YouBoob video on the LapBar Steering Electric Ryobi ZTR, addressing the SLA batteries as failures. Fellow reported failure of Batts. shortly after One year, and spoke to the less than 50% charge factor. He has a knack for reinventing things and swapped the SLA for LiFePO4...

euww40 bought the mighty FINE Cub Cadet. Cost of new starter $73. I'm sure he's happy. Scag is undecided with their selection of engines having three choices - avoid the FR651 at any costs. I would have purchased my 2nd Hustler Raptor if it had the same engine choices; and, saved $1800 over...

Aside from my rants on costs, good golly the costs, my Ryobi 42" ZTR is frightful. I don't regard any longer, the anticipation of mowing the yard (1/2 acre turf alone) with fun. Not to liken "bumper cars" or "go-cart" racing with unsafe activities, lap bar steering ZTR mowing is FUN! But, not...

"...he has been trying to find a starter for this GXV630 Honda engine and was unable to find one. Now that is hard to believe..." With any search engine today for a GXV630 ... you're bound to get the results ranging from toilet seat to Panzer VIII ass wipe. The point is it's not easy to find...

Was a HD service desk associate that lent me his ear. As there were no more on his HD lot, aside from the last 30 incher, and none at my other favored HD store, 40 miles the other way, I'm fairly confident the queen bed has become separate bedrooms. HD will continue with the line of Ryobi hand...

ueww40, I spoke of exercising the reverse gear repeatedly. That is my ignorant means of assuring myself of the wellness of the drive. If it wont respond immediately to reverse drive instructions, I'd be leary. When you drive your way into a hornets nest you want to back out now! Drive...

Kawasaki engines are widely available on ZTR mowers. Beware, the FR651 specifically and I surmise the entire FR series engines suffer the same engineering F.U; it's just a matter of time. The FR651 is known, according to my repairman, for the failure of the Compression Release mechanism...

Look Out! Beware! Just Say No! $300? Screams, for parts only! I admit my first ZTR was a real cheapy, And I believe it cost me also about $300. But, I knew it ran, as it was delivered and cranked up and made a pass around the yard; before I handed over the fiat. What ScrubCadet 10 said, but...

IMO, Craig's List is the worst place to buy spit. I have personal bad experience and had none of the foresight of Lawn Mower Fanatic. This incident was a long while ago and have since had nothing but free spit for Craig's List.

Apparently HomeDepot feels the same. Ryobi ZTR Mowers are nowhere near what they're cracked up to be; if MSRP is a measurement. OMG, the price of replacement batteries :eek: HomeDepot is putting them on Flash Sale -- Found a 54" on the lot for &999.99 down from $6k; but, alas already sold...

Good point Joed756 I see one manufacturer's application of forced air cooling during a battery recharge cycle; while another manufacturer couldn't shivagit about the matter. Greenworks is the former and Ryobi the latter. Speaking of Ryobi and $4100 MSRP full boat value of installed and fully...

Ooh Ooh, just remembered another thing about batteries. I've a couple Ryobi tools in addition to the ZTR that also require 40V batteries. I've a 4AH, a 8AH, and now several 12AH 40V batteries. All interchangeable, from chain saw to string weed whacker and now to a ZTR mower they'll ALL work...

Hello, I'm new to the forum with targeted interest in Ryobi 80V ZTR and specifically the 42" cut. Purchased late May 2024. Only disappointment and truly a choice I had to make was the 42 inch "Stamped Deck". I wasn't of a mind to pay for the larger "manufactured deck", as 42" is in my comfort...
