Testing Toro's Revolution mower in a 6 foot tall WET swamp

What happens here

The presenter demonstrates practical aspects of the mower, including its USB charging port, PTO (Power Take-Off) switch, and headlights. He highlights the convenient phone holder. He discusses the charging process, noting that a full charge from zero takes about 12 hours using a standard 110V outlet. He introduces the "limp mode" feature, which automatically shuts down non-critical functions when the battery reaches around 5% to allow the user to return to a charging point. He also touches upon the mower's hill stability, noting a (unverified) report of it handling a 38-degree hill.

Goal: Cover practical utility, power management, and operational limits.

What they say

nutshell. Uh it does have a USB port. Here's your PTO. Here's the lights. Here is your uh depth. So this so this mower also has a feature that I I haven't personally seen in another mower besides this is your your height of your grass cut, but they also let you adjust this is a feature I haven't seen. The rake of the deck. The rake of the deck. And I think one other company has that, but I've never personally seen it. So you can adjust whether this deck floats like this, this, or somewhere in between. And they recommend you change the rake of the depth because that will actually also or potentially can impact your battery life especially in a mulching application. So if we don't have the chute on and we block that up and we want to recircate all of our grass clippings then flat I suppose. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, no, no. Then you'd want to rake it backward so that you're letting it kind of blow out the back end so it lifts it up, keeps that grass elevated. Now, this is actually also the same cutting deck is on all of Toro's commercial other commercial decks. So, this is a a a tried andrue proven cutting deck. So, when you go to Toro's commercial series, that's that's the Turbo Force. This is a 52 in. And don't quote me on this. It's not designed for hill stability, but there was a guy that took this on a 38° hill and mowed with it. Really? Yeah. That's That's like that. I wouldn't want to do it. Don't quote me on that. I didn't see it, but I would imagine that it's because the the weight of the batteries being down low, just the balance of the machine. I don't know. It's got to be heavy. It's a Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Couple cool features which kind of look wonky. Right here is phone holder. Actually works. And so this actually just plugs in right here. When you want to charge it up, you just plug that unit in right there. And it to go from zero charge to full charge takes about 12 hours. And they do have what's called a limp mode in this mower. So if you're down to around the 5% error in the batteries and you got to get back to wherever you're going to go, the mower is automatically going to shut down all non-critical functions to get you back to where you got to be. This is smart. And this just plugs in off from a 110 outlet. Just zip, plug it in, and you're good to go. That's pretty good. You got any questions on it, Frankie? Nope. All right. Well, then I'm going to take it across to the farm and just see about how far I can get this thing to go.
