The Greenworks OptimusZ Zero-Turn Mower Platform earned an American Green Zone Alliance (AGZA) Field Tested Certification (AFTC) designation for its battery-powered riding and stand-on mower line. Before starting official AFTC testing, AGZA pre-tested a few mowers and received immediate feedback from operators in Greenworks’ independent testing network. With the positive feedback, Greenworks and AGZA moved forward with comprehensive testing of the OptimusZ platform.
Key features of the Greenworks OptimusZ Zero-Turn Mower Platform include:
- All-day cutting performance: Mow up to 21 acres and eight hours on a single charge.
- Clean and comfortable performance: No toxic emissions, smells or headaches, low vibrations and little to no noise for operator comfort and compliance.
- More power: The 24K battery delivers gas equivalent power of 65 horsepower.
- Work faster: Four adjustable speed settings, including a maximum cut speed of 16 mph
- Cutting performance: Capable of achieving and sustaining a constant 19k fpm blade tip speed
- Mow everywhere: The exclusive PowrTraq Smart Drive System allows OptimusZ to handle slopes up to 20 degrees.
- Smart 4G connectivity: Provides anti-theft mechanisms, productivity reporting and scheduling, and remote diagnostics for comprehensive insights.
- Cut down operating expenses: Eliminate the time and money spent on gas completely and slash maintenance costs by up to 90 percent, according to the company.
With this certification, the Greenworks Commercial OptimusZ Zero-Turn Mower Platform joins a small yet growing list of large mowers, robotics and handheld equipment platforms. Greenworks allowed AGZA to test its OptimusZ mowers independently in multiple locations and various commercial workload settings.
AGZA’s primary concern is safety, followed by performance, durability and reliability. According to the company, AGZA is confident the Greenworks OptimusZ Zero-Turn Mower Platform will help AGZA’s mission for prudent transitioning for low-impact operations.
