It’s time to electrify your riding mower experience

With a great yard, comes great mowing responsibility. If you have a yard over one acre, you’re likely looking for a riding mower that will help you get the job done quickly and efficiently. While there are plenty of choices when it comes to brands and features for a riding lawn tractor, there is one option that you may have overlooked: electric riding mowers. That’s right – you can get uncompromising power and cut quality with the added advantages of significantly less maintenance, noise and emissions.
 
Let’s break down why an electric riding mower should be on your list to consider for your next riding mower purchase.

Power, Cut Time & Quality

Let’s address this right off the top because, first and foremost, you need a riding lawn mower that can deliver the right amount of run time and an impeccable cut. At Cub Cadet®, this was our primary mission. That’s why our electric mower lineup – the Enduro XT1 LT42E™ and the Ultima ZT1E™ – can mow up to two acres on a single charge. Our mowers are powered by advanced lithium-ion batteries, meaning they’ll run at peak power delivery until the job is done – no power fade like traditional lead-acid batteries. To top it off, when you’re done, our fast-charging system lets you charge from empty to full quickly, from a standard 110v household wall plug.
 
What about cut quality? The blades on our electric units run at a similar speed as our gas units. This means you’re going electric without sacrificing a crisp, clean, cut, all while continuing to get the same design and engineering you expect from Cub Cadet®.

Ease of Maintenance & Livability

Electric machines are easy to maintain and live with. Traditional gas-powered riding lawn mowers demand all the necessary maintenance required for traditional gas engines. Between topping up gas and oils, maintaining belts and pulleys, and making sure the equipment is well stored and maintained during the off-season, there is a lot to think about and do when you own a traditional gas mower.
 
This isn’t the case with electric riding mowers. Not only is there no gas to fill multiple times a season, but you’ll also see significant time savings on maintaining equipment. With no need to change oil, air filters, spark plugs, pulleys or belts, there is less to do to keep your electric riding mower running at peak performance.
 
Instead of doing maintenance and taking trips to the gas station, you’ll have more time to kick back and relax in your yard.

Let’s Talk About Noise & Emissions

Without a gas motor, our electric riders emit less emissions and the only noise generated is from the vacuum created by the blade and deck while cutting. Electric mowers make it possible to mow any time of day, from dawn to dusk, worrying less about disturbing your neighbours. You can also feel good knowing that you’re helping to reduce your carbon footprint.
 
At the end of the day, just know that if you choose to jump onto a Cub Cadet® electric riding mower, you’re choosing zero compromises. Not only is our electric rider lineup designed and tested to meet the same rigorous standard for performance, power and durability that all Cub Cadet® equipment is known for, you’ll also be saving time and money. With the advancement in lithium-ion battery technology, electric equipment has come a long way and should earn a spot on your consideration list for your next mower purchase.
