Common problems of the Crossover T

The Greenworks Crossover T riding mower is a very effective electric machine that helps its owner reduce carbon emissions to the atmosphere. But like every other machine, the Crossover T has its fair share of issues that tend to dog its name. Different users of this mower from different parts of the world have come forward to give an assessment of their experience using it.

1) Not sharp blades

 This problem can be reported on almost every other gasoline or electric-powered mower. The Crossover T model is a culprit of offering its operators blunt blades, making the work less neat and unnecessarily using more power. The answer to this issue is to sharpen the blades, and you will be good to go for a long time without the need to sharpen them again.

2) The machine keeps shutting down

This is a problem reported by many Greenworks lawnmower users. The issue revolves around starting the mower and shortly after it shutting down. The problem begins intermittently, followed by a definite shutting down every time you start it. This problem involves the air mesh filters of the mower.

When you drive your mower for some time, dirt and debris will accumulate on the air vent, which provides cool air to the batteries. The dirt accumulates on the mesh air filters, making it impossible for the machine to breathe. The answer is to remove the mesh filters and wash them. If the problem persists, it is time to seek professional help.

3) Poor battery power

Some buyers of this unit have reported the low power of the batteries or the batteries running out of juice every time. This problem may not be resolved in your garage, so you should involve the Greenworks dealership. As they say, a bad battery, when new, will not get better with usage but worse.

When you encounter this issue, especially after buying a brand new Crossover T model, consult your seller dealership and have the issue addressed. It could be an electrical issue or a faulty battery. Either way, the manufacturer has backed the mower with a 4-year warranty.

4) Auto throttling

This feature is an ingenious one, and it's designed to ensure you don't have a hard time mowing your yard. It becomes an issue when you have uneven grass in your yard. The Crossover T will need a few seconds and feet to ramp up the power to deal with rough and tougher grass. While this is an advantage for a person whose lawn grows evenly, it may not be a happy point for someone whose lawn has uneven and different kinds of grass.

5) Not very many dealerships

The company was established 20 years ago, and over the years, it has grown to be a renowned brand. However, there aren't as many dealerships as John Deere's. While this might not necessarily influence your buying decision, it should have a sway on your final decision since whenever your machine breaks down, which is expected, where do you find a Crossover T expert.

6) One color only

This is not something to really cry about since many manufacturers of tractors and mowers stick to one color. Well, Greenworks has fallen into the category of not affording its clientele a variety of colors to pick from when it comes to Crossover T.

Conclusion

The Greenworks Crossover T riding lawn mower is certainly a good machine, and the rising customer reviews and sales across the region and the world confirm this. As an electric mower that uses green energy, it is the machine that many advocates and lovers of green earth will go for.

It is equipped to the teeth with features and power, and as a buyer, you will not have many reasons to complain. However, after reading the article, you will note that there are a number of problems affecting the Crossover T that you must consider before you can fetch your checkbook.
