Ready Equipment LLC

Picked up a fully-electric DR ZT5E from them last year. Had a great experience with sales & delivery. I got this for a community solar project, but have been loaning it to neighbors as well. There are two blade speed settings, the following tests were done with the higher speed for a neater cut, but not optimizing for battery usage. With the full 7.5kWh:

Lawn 1 (mowed twice) | under 1hr | 1.5 acre | 31-44%
Lawn 2 (mowed once) | 1hr+ | ~50% | 1.3 acre
Charging | 3.5hr | 44%

With a lower speed setting on the solar field, I got rates aligned with the 5 acre rating on the mower, but not a lot of buffer on top of that.

And some really good feedback from the drivers:
"Neighbor loved it. Same observations I had. Doesn't tear up yard on turns like our mowers."
"wicked fast!"

As a bonus, the batteries come out of the mower. So I hooked up an Anderson Coupling to a 4kW inverter and now can back up my well+fridges for days when the power goes out.

P.S. I the charger has a max charge rate of 23A, but the batteries are rated at up to 78A charging, each! Would be curious what DR has to say here but it seems like you could charge up to ~10x faster with a better charger! Although probably that would drop as the batteries near their fill.

P.P.S. There is a 30% Inflation Reduction Act Tax Credit for mowers 7.5kWh or more, like this one.

They are the best , picked up are machine in Moultonboro and brought it to shop in Belmont then took are boom lift to Laconia all done by 915 in the morning, The rollback operator was fantastic smooth , There operation is a 10 star the best

Ernie at Ready Equipment is awesome. We couldn't be happier with the service provided to us. We won't go anywhere else with our outdoor tools.

I have rented various tools from a compactor to a 10,000 pound excavator and their equipment fits their name, ready to use and no drama. Highly recommend.

Great rental. Easy in and out process. They have it all. Will be back to rent again!

Awesome shop and guys. 1st time customer but not the last time. They took my snowblower in at a very busy time and did a top notch job repairing it
Thank you

Great company to do business with! Recently rented a piece of equipment that unfortunately did not function properly when I got it to the work site. They sent out a service tech, also great guy, but the repair could not be done on site. They brought me a replacement unit, made up for the lost time, and did it honorably and as efficiently as possible. Exceptional customer service!!

The core drill and bit we rented were in perfect condition and worked flawlessly. My wife had no trouble picking it up and the return was professional and friendly.

Ben and Ernie were both on their game. Knew products inside and out. Fairly priced and high quality. A great buying experience! Ben also follows up after the sale. Well done.

Went in today after a less than impressive experience at a store a little further south. I needed to buy a backpack blower and I was also considering a chainsaw. I called ahead to make sure they the the leaf blower I was looking for and told them I was on my way. They had it ready at the counter waiting for me when I got there and they also went over chainsaw options to make sure I was getting what I needed without going overboard and keeping my budget in mind. I ended up leaving with what I needed in a quick and pleasant experience.

Friendly, helpful, honest, and fair prices. This is my go-to from now on for any equipment rentals.

Rented an excavator for a week they dropped it to me right on time on the third day on of the hydraulic hoses got a leak in it I called the store they got back to me right away even though it was labor day a great man named erine brought there work shop on wheels to fix issue he removed old hose made a new one and within an hour machine was back up and working hat's off to mike and his staff I inter acted with with the following guy in staff bill erine ben and the driver of the flat bed thank you all Cary silverstein this is the reason they are number one for equipment rentals in the lakes region

Great place for any possible tool you need. They also have alot of tools for sale whether your landscaping or construction. The staff are top notch professionals and very polite

Rented tellehandler truss extension. Excellent experience. By the time we got there, they already had the equipment on a trailer and ready to go.

Great place to rent equipment or purchase outdoor power equipment. Staff is very knowledgeable and would recommend all your outdoor lawn equipment needs!

Very helpful and we appreciate what you did for us

Just bought my first chainsaw from these guys and i was treated like a king! The three genetlmen who were in there helped my find the saw that was the perfect fit for what i am doing. They were very knowledgable about the saw and they even walked me through running the saw. I left there with a new saw, a helmet, hearing protection, gloves, three true fuels, bar and chain lube, and a big smile on my face for $520! They even helped me carry out to my truck! Thanks ready equipment you have a customer for life.

Excellent local shop for both the purchasing and rental of equipment. My snow blower, chainsaw, and leaf blower all came from Ready Equipment and was prepped and tested for me when I picked it up. Ernie took the time to walk me through all of the features and safety equipment before I took it home. I've also rented a UHaul trailer from then.

We have always had excellent service from Ready Equipment. Very friendly and helpful staff, and machines are in great condition for rentals. Our #1 go to in the area for rentals and machine purchases.
