In partnership with Greenworks Commercial

It’s hard to believe 10 years have already gone by since Greenworks Commercial first launched with a mission to replace gas equipment for professional lawn care and landscaping crews. The industry has come a long way over the past decade, and Greenworks Commercial has been at the forefront of developing battery technology into a viable solution.

As we join the celebration, we’ll reflect on some of the key innovations and share some exciting news regarding serious discounts that can jumpstart your journey to electrification.

10 Years of Innovation

Greenworks Commercial OptimusZ Mowers

Over the past 10 years, Greenworks Commercial has changed the tune of many people who once considered Pro-grade battery-powered outdoor power equipment to be irrelevant. With each step forward, they’ve shown how battery power can match the demands of commercial crews and, in key areas like efficiency, maintenance, and productivity, deliver meaningful advantages over gas. Furthermore, they’ve developed gains in efficiency and charging solutions to ensure crews have everything they need for the day when they pull the trailer out of the shop.

Greenworks Commercial Hedge Trimmer

It all started with handheld tools, where Greenworks Commercial’s design teams quickly matched the power of small gas engines on string trimmers, edgers, hedge trimmers, and more. From there, they were able to improve runtimes while dropping weight, helping crews work even longer with less fatigue and fewer interruptions.

Mowers were a tougher challenge. But harnessing the power required to deliver the cut quality, runtime, deck sizes, and tough build Pros demand was something they didn’t shy away from.

The Lithium Z series was an excellent start back in 2018. Then, the OptimusZ line launched, and everything changed. This isn’t just a battery-powered mower built for Pros. It looks like a gas mower and cuts like a gas mower, with a robust build that delivers true gas-equivalent performance while unlocking the added benefits of battery technology, such as reduced maintenance and smarter system controls.  

With riding and stand-on options, deck sizes up to 72 inches, and battery loadouts to match your needs, it’s a no-compromise gas replacement. Better still, Greenworks Commercial is able to leverage its battery power and electronic components to introduce capabilities gas mowers don’t have, like 2000 hours of maintenance-free performance, cutting at 16 MPH, and built-in 4G/GPS for fleet management, anti-theft, and diagnostics, features that contribute to real-world productivity gains across commercial fleets.

Greenworks Commercial H.O.G. Chainsaw

But the engineering team didn’t stop there. Since we first saw the OptimusZ mowers, Greenworks Commercial launched the H.O.G. chainsaw, sporting a 28-inch bar with 70cc gas equivalent power. Plus, new backpack blower options include a model capable of producing 50 Newtons of blowing force. Most gas models don’t even come close to that level of power, reinforcing how battery innovation is redefining performance expectations across categories.

With the Optimus system, you now have everything you need to fully shift to battery power without compromising performance. And in 2026, it makes more financial sense than ever.

Switching To Battery Has Never Been Easier… On Your Budget

Greenworks Commercial is celebrating by giving you even more reasons to switch to battery power. For 2026, you can save up to $10,000 off the price of select OptimusZ 48-inch, 52-inch, 60-inch, and 72-inch ride-on and stand-on zero-turn mowers.

In addition to the savings you’ll experience on fuel and maintenance, the premium between the price of a new gas mower and a new Optimus mower is essentially nil, and when total operating costs are factored in, many crews can realize a return on investment far sooner than expected.

Take the 60-inch OptimusZ Series 9 24kWh zero-turn as an example. It’s normally $28,999. Right now, you can get it for $19,999. Here’s how it compares side-by-side with one of its premium competitors:

Looking at those numbers is enough to raise some eyebrows. But consider the 2000-hour cost of ownership once you include the mower, fuel, and maintenance. What would you use an extra $16,000 on? For many operations, those savings translate directly into improved margins, reinvestment opportunities, or fleet expansion.
