What happens when you drop the only commercial hybrid zero-turn mower in America on a real lawn care route? We found out. Evan demos the Hydro-Gear SmartTech hybrid mower live, and Scott Wilmoth (Marketing Manager at Hydro-Gear) calls in to break down how the three-in-one deck motor system works, why the engine only kicks on between 40–60% battery charge, and what kind of fuel savings lawn care pros can actually expect.
Plus: Greg's ZS4000 clutch disaster. A $15 broken fan that turned into a $700 repair bill, and why hybrid might be the smarter move over full electric for commercial mowing.
Don’t forget to check out Green Frog Web Design and tell them the Turf Nerds sent you. Or Greg will scalp your lawn!
