Residential electric riding mowers have existed for a while, but we’ve never before seen John Deere enter the space before — and they’re making a pretty big splash with their debut effort. The new zero-turn mower is called the Z370R Electric ZTrak Mower, and it’s the first in what’s expected to be a wave of electric mowers and lawn tractors from the legendary manufacturer.

You can kiss your gas cans goodbye, since the Z370R Electric doesn’t need any. Instead, all you have to do to charge the mower is plug a standard outdoor extension cord into a 110-volt grounded outlet. There’s no need to remove the battery or purchase any special charger, meaning you’re likely already set up to charge the mower out of the box.
The John Deere Z370R Electric Requires Less Maintenance
Outside of the obvious benefits of going electric — like less noise and a lack of polluting emissions — is the reduction in maintenance. According to John Deere, the Z370R Electric will be much easier to maintain than its gas-powered brethren, since you won’t ever need to change its oil or replace any filters or belts.
