Greenworks CRZ4262 60V 42-inch CrossoverZ zero-turn with six 8Ah batteries (SKU 7422502) review

Greenworks sells this CrossoverZ as model CRZ4262, U.S. SKU 7422502: a 42-inch battery zero-turn with six 8.0Ah batteries and a 600W wall charger. That exact battery bundle is the important identity. The same CRZ4262 name appears on SKU CRZ4262A1, a four-pack listed with a smaller acreage maximum. Confirm “7422502” and six packs in a retailer’s package list before relying on the larger-kit figures.

Six packs change the maker’s maximum, not the yard guarantee

Greenworks publishes an up-to-2.5-acre claim and a five-hour charge time for SKU 7422502. The four-pack CRZ4262A1 page lists up to 1.5 acres and three hours. The six-pack has 48 nominal amp-hours when the six 8Ah pack ratings are added for package comparison; it is still six separate 60V batteries, not one 48Ah battery in a single slot. The CRZ4262 manual says the mower has six battery positions and the product FAQ says at least three installed packs, one in each functional column, are needed to start. More included packs can matter for work area and charging routines, but the stated acreage is a manufacturer maximum, not a prediction for grass, slope, cut height, clipping mode or operator speed.

The exact page links a 148-page manual for CRZ4262 and CRZ426 (TYPE2); its technical table lists five hours with a 600W charger, agreeing with this six-pack page. The four-pack CRZ4262A1 page says three hours despite linking to the same manual family. Treat these as package-specific claims that need confirmation, not interchangeable specs.

Forty-two inches means planning the route

The package is a lap-bar zero-turn, not a conventional steering-wheel tractor. Its 42-inch steel deck is listed at seven cut positions from 1.5 to 4.5 inches. Greenworks’ exact 7422502 page describes a 12-gauge reinforced steel deck; the same model family’s four-pack page and image describe 13-gauge. The page-linked manual identifies the model family but does not settle that package-page difference. I have not treated deck gauge as a reason to choose one bundle over the other. The page lists 456 pounds; the manual gives 53.15 inches of width with the discharge chute. Measure the machine and route, not just its cutting width.

The maker lists a maximum cutting speed of 8 mph and blade-tip speed of 17,500 feet per minute. Those are specifications, not proof that a mower will cover a given property at that pace. The manual teaches operators to practice gentle turns and gradual zero-turn pivots before mowing around beds or obstacles. If you are new to lap bars, the turn response is a genuine learning requirement rather than a small trim feature. A conventional lawn tractor may suit you better if steering-wheel control is essential.

Choose a clipping setup separately

The mower page calls its capability 3-in-1. The manual explains that side discharge is the shipping setup and shows installing a mulch cover to mulch. For bagging, Greenworks separately lists its 42-inch residential riding mower bagging kit, SKU 7504802, with a six-bushel capacity and a broad compatibility statement for all its 42-inch CrossoverZ and CrossoverT mowers. The kit is not listed in the 7422502 mower box; its detailed fit table omits this SKU, so confirm exact fit. The accessory page showed sold out on 2026-10-24; check availability before planning on bagging. The mower’s “3-in-1” label does not mean the bagger is in its carton.

Side discharge and the manual-described mulch-cover arrangement are distinct operating choices. A bagger adds cost and bulk and may affect stability; Greenworks’ manual cautions that a grass catcher or other attachment can change mower stability. The exact box list is clearer about the batteries, charger, mower and owner’s manual than it is about every clipping accessory, so verify any expected cover or catcher against the delivered components.

Where a zero-turn is a poor fit

This is a heavy seated mower for open lawn routes, not a universal way to turn any lawn into a ride-on job. Its manual prohibits slopes above 15 degrees, recommends mowing a slope up and down rather than side to side, and warns away from wet or slippery ground. It also cautions about drop-offs and water, and says not to use rain or wet conditions. A property with steep banks, narrow gates or many obstacles may need a smaller mower even if it is under 2.5 acres. The manual lists up to 3 mph in reverse and selectable forward speeds; those are limits, not a target pace for every condition.

For care, the manual warns against water cleaning and describes compressed air for deck debris; it also directs removing the start key and batteries before maintenance. Follow the serial-specific instructions rather than assuming battery power eliminates upkeep.

Choose 7422502 only when the six-pack matters

Compared with CRZ4262A1, SKU 7422502 includes two more 8Ah batteries and carries the manufacturer’s higher 2.5-acre maximum. It also has the longer five-hour charge statement. If your comparison needs a four-pack minimum, either bundle meets it; if your stated manufacturer-maximum threshold is 2.0 acres, the four-pack’s 1.5-acre claim does not. Neither result guarantees actual completion. Greenworks currently places the 60V battery platform across its tools, but 60V compatibility should not be confused with Greenworks 80V or 82V mower packs.

The 7422502 listing showed sold out when checked on 2026-10-24. Keep the model as a useful current manufacturer reference, but do not read that listing as a promise of immediate stock. If considering one from another seller, verify the exact SKU, six-pack contents, charger and cutting accessories. Warranty wording needs confirmation: the page advertises four years for tool and battery, while the linked family manual says three years for consumer/private use; confirm the serial-specific terms. The Greenworks 42-inch bagging kit is an accessory, not a confirmed piece of this mower bundle.
