What happens here

The presenter highlights the key differences between the traditional gas-powered Toro Z Master 2000 and the electric Toro Z Master Revolution. He points out that both mowers feature a 60-inch Turbo Force deck and similar foot pedal and adjustment systems. The gas model is powered by a Kawasaki FX730V engine (23.5 HP at 3,600 RPM) with a hydraulic drive system, requiring annual maintenance like fuel, motor oil, hydraulic oil, air filter, and belt changes. In contrast, the electric model, powered by a HyperCell system, has electric motors driving everything, eliminating the need for fuel, oil changes, hydraulic fluid, or gas station trips. The electric model claims an equivalent of 38 HP, though the presenter estimates it's closer to 26 HP.

Goal: Illustrate the benefits of electric over gas in terms of power, drive system, and maintenance

zeroturn mower. I got to get the yard mode. Summertime is rapidly coming on and I'm having to mow a lot here lately. Typically, I'm out mowing with the Ventra tractor or this Toro Z Master 2000. I am super excited about trying this mower out. I have not ran it. I wanted to do the first run of this mower with you guys so that I can give you feedback on exactly what it feels like to run this thing. So, what we have here, we're we're going to we're going to put this on pause for just a second. This is a Toro Z Master 2000 with Myide suspension from Eden Lawn Mower. Again, it's a Toro mower. This has a cool top on it, a cool top canopy. And uh that's a canopy that turns a fan on. I'll show you that real quick. that blows on the operator real real good to keep you clean, keep the dust down, keep the grass off of you, and keep you cool. It draws air in through the top and pushes it down. Enough about that. This is the Kawasaki FX 730V. I'll post how many horsepower that thing's supposed to have. I mowed a lot of the yard with this yesterday because I wanted to get an awesome video for you guys running the new Revolution mower. This is a 60-in deck. It has a bullnose turbo force deck just like this one right here. Now, I can see some updates in the design. It has an integrated step right here on this one and an integrated step right here on this one. Belt drive system, electric motor drive system. So, very, very similar mowers, but we've got some upgrades in this department right here. I do like the idea of the canopy on top and I may go ahead and order me a canopy, but sometimes running a canopy when you got fruit trees and stuff like that can be a bit of a pain in the butt. So, I don't know. I don't know if I'll do that or not. Here's what we got going. Same adjustment system, same awesome foot pedal system, electric. And this electric motor in this machine is designed to run as like a 38 horsepower. I do believe we're running in about the 26 horsepower um range right here with this mower. I'll post it right down there what this critter is. Kawasaki electric motor.
