Greenworks Pro 60 Volt Lawn Mower: Two Listed Options Compared

As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. Details

If you are comparing greenworks pro 60 volt lawn mower options, the first question is which 60V model matches your lawn and your back. The two 60V mowers compared here are a 21 inch self-propelled kit and a 21 inch push model. No listing in this group uses the word Pro in its title, so this comparison relies on each listing’s own wording. It shows what each one states about battery, drive, deck and included items, and where the listings leave gaps.

Quick answer

Choose the self-propelled kit if you have slopes, thick grass or a larger lawn and want the drive to do the pushing. Choose the push model if you want a battery and a fast charger included, and a lighter machine with a 5.0Ah pack. Both list a 60V platform, a 21 inch class deck and a four-year warranty. Confirm the drive type on the listing before you order, because the self-propelled kit’s specs show a manual operation mode.

What the two listings state

Item	Self-propelled kit	Push model
Drive	Self-propelled, rear-wheel drive per the bullets	Push, easy-push design per the bullets
Battery in the box	Two 4.0Ah batteries, per the title	One 5.0Ah battery, per the title
Charger	Not stated in the title or bullets	Fast charger included, per the bullets
Cutting width	20.28 inches	20.28 inches
Listed weight	65 pounds	59.5 pounds
Cutting height range	1 inch to 4 inches, seven positions	Not stated in the bullets
Warranty	4 year, per the specs	4 year limited, per the bullets

The table compares only what each listing states. Where a cell says not stated, check the listing before you assume a value.

Battery and drive

The self-propelled kit’s title lists two 4.0Ah batteries in a battery kit. Its bullets describe a 60V brushless motor and claim up to three-quarters acre per charge, with performance that varies by terrain and technique. The bullets also say the drive helps on slopes and thick grass, and that you can adjust your pace while you walk. Those are manufacturer statements, so treat them as claims.

The push model’s title lists one 5.0Ah battery and a charger. Its bullets describe the battery and charger as part of a complete package with a grass bag. It also states up to 50% more torque than 40V mowers and a blade speed of 3200 RPM. Its listed cutting width is the same as the self-propelled kit, but its design is push-only, so the work is on you.

Both listings name a 60V platform and say they work with more than 75 Greenworks 60V tools. That is a claim about the platform, not a guarantee of compatibility for every tool. Check the battery label before you buy a second tool.

Deck and cutting

Both listings give a 20.28 inch cutting width. The self-propelled kit lists seven cutting positions, with a maximum of 4 inches and a minimum of 1 inch. The push model lists seven positions and describes an IPX4 weather-resistant design with a steel deck. Its bullets describe a self-sharpening blade system and a mulch, bag, side discharge and leaf-pickup setup.

The self-propelled kit’s bullets describe a mulching and bagging system and an LED headlight. Neither listing gives a bag capacity, so compare bag size only after you read each listing.

What the safety standard covers

A US consumer product safety standard, 16 CFR Part 1205, sets safety requirements for certain walk-behind power lawn mowers. The standard defines a walk-behind power lawn mower as a grass cutting machine with a minimum cutting width of 12 in that uses an engine or motor. Both listed mowers are above that width. Under the standard, shields on rotary walk-behind mowers must withstand a 50 lb static tensile force for at least 10 seconds.

The listings do not say how their shields meet the standard. Check the maker’s manual, and follow its guidance on blade work. Disconnect the battery before any blade work, and store and charge batteries as the manual says.

How to choose

Start with the ground. A self-propelled kit suits a lawn with slopes or thick grass, because its listing describes a drive that helps. If your lawn is flat and open, the push model’s lower listed weight may matter more to you.

Next, count the batteries. The self-propelled kit lists two packs in its title. The push model lists one 5.0Ah pack and a charger. If you want a spare pack, read each listing’s included items line before you order.

Then check the drive type. The self-propelled kit’s title says self-propelled, but its specs show a manual operation mode. Confirm the drive on the listing page so you know what you are buying.

Who each mower suits

The self-propelled kit suits a larger lawn, a sloped yard or thick grass, where a drive that helps on hills saves effort. It also suits a buyer who already has a 60V battery in mind and wants a two-pack kit. Its listed weight of 65 pounds makes it a heavy machine to load, so think about your storage space and how you will move it.

The push model suits a flat yard and a buyer who wants a battery and charger in the box. Its listed weight is lower, at 59.5 pounds, but you still provide all the pushing. If you want a grass bag and a charger listed up front, the push listing states both.

Both suit a buyer who reads the included items line and checks the battery label before ordering. Neither suits a hands-off robotic yard, because neither listing describes one.

Worked example for a mid-size lawn

Then 4 times 45 equals 180 minutes of mowing per month. The self-propelled kit’s claim of up to three-quarters acre per charge describes area, not time, so use it as a claim and check the number of charges you expect. If one charge covers your lawn, one pack per session may be enough. If it does not, a second pack or a fast charger changes the plan. Real runtime depends on grass height, grass density and terrain.

Neither listing states how long a session lasts on one pack, so read the coverage figures as claims and plan around the included items. If you are buying for a larger yard, compare the weight and the drive together rather than one at a time.

Compatibility and the tool family

Both listings tie the mower to Greenworks 60V tools. The self-propelled title and the push bullets each say the battery works with more than 75 Greenworks 60V tools, including trimmers, blowers and chainsaws. Read that as a platform claim. Compatibility depends on the battery and the tool model, so check the battery label against the tool’s own listing before you buy a second tool.

If you already own a 40V Greenworks pack, neither listing names it. The 40V push listing in the same group describes a separate platform, so do not assume a 40V pack fits a 60V mower. For the 40V option, see Best Greenworks 40v Electric Lawn Mower.

Storage, charging and wet grass

A battery charger stores energy in a battery by running current through it. The charging protocol depends on the size and type of battery, and some battery types can be damaged by overcharging. Chargers may use temperature or voltage sensing. Store and charge the pack as the manual says, and follow the manual for storage conditions.

The push model’s bullets describe a steel deck and IPX4 weather resistance, and they say the mower is built to handle rain and damp grass. That is a useful point for wet-grass mowing, but the listing does not describe how the mower performs in wet grass in detail. For a broader look at wet-grass mowing with electric models, see Best Electric Lawn Mower Wet Grass. For charging accessories, see Best Charging System for Lawn Mower.

How the two listings describe the cut

Both listings give a 20.28 inch cutting width, so width does not separate them. The self-propelled kit’s specs list a cutting height range from 1 inch to 4 inches over seven positions. The push model’s specs list seven positions but do not state a height range, so check its listing before you assume a range.

The push model’s bullets add SmartCut self-sharpening blades and a mulch, bag, side discharge and leaf pickup setup, along with LED lights for early or late mowing. The self-propelled kit’s bullets describe a similar 4-in-1 setup with an LED headlight. For a buyer who cares most about the cut, the two listings offer similar options. Compare the blade, height range and light features on the listing you buy.

Mistakes to avoid

Choosing on the title alone. The self-propelled kit’s title names a battery kit, but its specs show a manual operation mode, so read the full listing.

Assuming a charger is included. The self-propelled listing does not state a charger in its title or bullets.

Treating coverage as runtime. A per-charge area claim does not tell you how long a session lasts.

Ignoring the weight difference. The self-propelled kit weighs 65 pounds, which matters if you lift the mower into a truck or onto a deck.

Overlooking the bag. Both listings describe mulching and bagging, but neither states a bag capacity. If you bag clippings, read the bag details on each listing before you assume a size.

FAQ

Is a 60V mower the same as a Pro model?

The listings here do not use the word Pro. Compare the platform, battery count and included items on each listing instead of the model number.

Which of these two mowers is easier to push?

The self-propelled kit’s listing describes a drive that helps on slopes and thick grass. The push model’s listing describes an easy-push design with large rear wheels, but you still do the pushing.

Does either listing include a charger?

The push model’s bullets say it includes a fast charger. The self-propelled kit’s title and bullets do not state a charger, so read its included items line before you order.

How much does the cutting width matter?

Both listings give 20.28 inches, so width does not separate them. Choose by drive, battery count and included items instead.

Can I use a 60V battery from one of these on another Greenworks tool?

Both listings say they work with the Greenworks 60V family of tools. Check the battery label and the tool’s listing, because the claim is about the platform and not about each tool.

What does the four year warranty cover?

The listings state a four-year limited tool and battery warranty. Read the warranty terms that come with your order for the coverage details.

Can these mowers handle wet grass?

The push model’s listing says it is built to handle rain and damp grass, and it lists IPX4 weather resistance. The self-propelled listing does not make that claim in its bullets. Check the maker’s manual before you mow wet grass with either unit, and read the listing details for the model you choose.

Which one should a first-time buyer pick?

Start with the included items and the drive type. If you want a battery and charger listed up front and a lighter machine, the push model’s listing covers both. If you have a sloped or thick lawn, the self-propelled kit’s drive is the feature to check first. Read the included items line before you order either one.

Bottom line

Pick the self-propelled kit for slopes, thick grass or a drive that does the pushing, and confirm its drive type before you order. Pick the push model for a lighter machine with a 5.0Ah pack and a listed fast charger. Neither listing uses the word Pro, so compare the battery, drive and included items on the listing you buy.
