EGO introduces its first commercial zero-turn mower

A new benchmark for battery-powered commercial grounds care has been set, as EGO unveils its first PRO X zero-turn ride-on mower for 2027.

Delivering exceptional professional cutting performance and increased productivity for the entire working day, EGO’s powerful ZTX4800E PRO X zero-turn ride-on mower is transforming how commercial landscaping businesses operate.

Combining commercial-grade durability with the latest IoT-enabled intelligent fleet connectivity, the lap-bar-steered mower is built to help landscaping and maintenance businesses unlock efficiency, streamline workflows and reduce operating emissions.

Available as a kit, the ZTX4800E is powered by up to four of EGO’s 40Ah high-capacity batteries, delivering exceptional power and runtime to tackle demanding commercial applications with confidence. Built for durability, it features a rugged 3.8mm fabricated cutting deck, three high-performance blade motors and an impressive blade speed of 19,000 feet per minute for heavy-duty strength and cutting performance.

Going a step further in maximising fleet efficiency, the mower also functions as a mobile power hub. Equipped with an onboard DC-DC charging port, it enables users to recharge one hand-held battery from EGO’s industry-leading 56V platform while on the move. This gives users the ability to top up handheld tools with power directly in the field, reducing downtime and eliminating the need to interrupt work due to depleted batteries. Mounting fixtures are also available to help users transport handheld equipment around the job site.

Integrated 4G connectivity enables the mower to provide updates on both the mower and the tools it is transporting, giving fleet managers greater visibility of their inventory to help maximise uptime. Meanwhile, an intuitive IP66-rated colour touch screen offers intelligent operation, with onboard diagnostics and modular servicing information increasing machine uptime. The addition of gyroscopic slope detection also helps operators to work safely on uneven terrain.

The mower is compatible with the EGO Fleet app, allowing fleet managers and operators to monitor equipment performance, usage and maintenance needs across their connected fleet from a single platform at any time.

Joerg Bauerle, Product Manager EMEA for EGO, said: “Our first PRO X ride-on mower represents a major step forward for professional grounds care. We’ve designed it to do far more than simply cut grass; rather, it’s a connected productivity platform that helps commercial users work smarter, maximise uptime and manage their operations more efficiently.

“The Mothership concept takes that a step further by integrating battery management and fleet connectivity into a single machine. By supporting the full EGO platform and reducing unnecessary downtime, professional users are given greater flexibility and fleet managers have full visibility of their fleet.”

The ZTX4800E PRO X zero-turn ride-on mower is available from 2027 and is backed by EGO’s three-year professional tool warranty.

GroundsFest Academy continues to deliver as DLF wildflower event inspires

The GroundsFest Academy has continued to build momentum following the success of its latest educational event, held in partnership with DLF Seeds and dedicated to the planning, establishment and maintenance of wildflower areas.

The free-to-attend event formed part of the wider GroundsFest Academy programme, which continues to provide free valuable learning opportunities for the industry throughout the year, helping professionals and volunteers develop their knowledge through practical, expert-led sessions.

Attendees enjoyed a combination of classroom learning and practical demonstrations, covering key areas including understanding wildflower habitats, site assessment, species selection, construction techniques, maintenance strategies and the environmental benefits of creating diverse habitats.

The day also provided a unique insight into the science behind wildflower seed, with delegates learning about seed production, testing, cleaning, packing and breeding processes from the experts at DLF Seeds.

Bradley Tennant, GroundsFest Event Director, said the success of the event highlighted the growing appetite for accessible, high-quality education within the industry.

“The GroundsFest Academy has gained incredible momentum, and events like this demonstrate exactly why we created it. The feedback we continue to receive from attendees shows there is a real demand for practical, relevant education that professionals can take back and apply in their own environments.

“Our partnership with DLF Seeds has been fantastic, and this event was a brilliant example of bringing together leading industry experts with people who are eager to learn, improve their skills and understand the latest approaches to sustainable land management.

“The Academy is about making education accessible to everyone, whether that’s an experienced professional looking to expand their knowledge, someone new to the industry, or the next generation of talent coming through. We’re delighted with how it has grown and we’re already looking forward to delivering more opportunities in the future.”

Following the success of the DLF wildflower event, the Academy will continue to deliver industry-focused sessions designed to share knowledge, encourage collaboration and support the continued development of the groundscare and landscaping sectors.
