![]() That 42-inch deck offers a large cutting area (twice that of walk-behind mowers like the Ryobi 40V 21-inch Brushless Smart Trek and Stihl RMA 510 V) which does mean you get nice wide cut lines and it also means you don't have to spend ages going up and down, making it fine for larger plots of land. That's not to say you can't drive very accurately, they just don't jerk the power on and off but rather distribute it evenly as you'd want. The bar controls are easy to use and, unlike some electric mowers of this type, aren't overly sensitive. ![]() If you do hit a patch of wet or particularly thick grass and notice a slow in power, then you can slow down or raise the height easily to avoid a potential cut-out. Power is now a problem here with those four brushless motors churning out all the juice you need to cut through almost any job. When done you just drive this into wherever you have the 120V transformer charger setup, plug in and leave to charge overnight. This shows the bars of battery but also the time left – which is actually very accurate. It does this easily and also keeps you aware of how long you have left with a useful readout display. The Ryobi RY48ZTR100 lives up to the claims that it can last for three hours. The USB charger and LED lights deserve another mention as they're great little extra features that aren't always needed but will be appreciated when you're doing a long stint of cutting and it's getting dark. There is also the ability to stop the cutting blades and just drive where the extra power gets you a bit more speed of up to 7 mph – ideal for getting back to the start when done. But, rather impressively, you can also cut while going in reverse. The drive train is capable of several modes including forward drive and reverse. These allow you to vary the amount of turn very subtly for the most accurate control. The steering uses a zero point system which is controlled using to the two padded lap bars. This is adjustable using a lever handle located within reach so that it is easy to change as you mow. That ranges from as high as 4.5-inches to as low as 1.5-inches. The Ryobi RY48ZTR100 ride on mower offers an impressive 12 different ride heights to allow you to get the cut length just right. You get a mulch plug and tow hitch but can add a grass and leaf collection bag as well as a side discharge chute for side firing clippings, should you want those. ![]() This will impact battery life but barely noticeably since these are super low power LEDs. The front of the mower features two rows of LED lights allowing it to be used at night too. There is a built in cup holder as well as a USB port for charging your phone, which can be housed in a handy little slot space next to the charger port. The saddle also has comfort offerings thanks to a dual spring support system that takes the worst out of the ride bumps. ![]() The dual handles mean you can get that zero point turn accuracy and these are covered in a soft mould to make sure they stay comfortable even after prolonged use. The ride height of the deck can be varied as can the seat itself to find comfort and control over the cut. As such, you do get a one year warranty and a three year limited warranty on this mower. The deck and frame are built from steel making them strong and long lasting.
