No mower companies produce their own batteries. They also do not produce their own engines or hydro drives or wheels or tires or seats or spindles or blade clutch pretty much anything else.


They build the frames and the decks. All pro models use pretty much the same hydro units, same deck clutch, same commercial engines...


Spend a little more and you will have a mower that will last a very long time. One with a heavy 7 gauge deck that will not that through or bend every time you but a root.


My Gravely Proturn 152 weighs just over 1,000 pounds. The sub $5,000 units at Home Depot are only 600 pounds at most.

Find a good local dealer of any commercial brand and spend over 5k. If your property is a little rough, look for one with a suspension seat.
