Deephaven Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Meh, I've got no reason to ever mow. I have an old style mechanical mower and a wife. No gas, no batteries, no effort on my part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He refused to get a rider even though 2 of his lawns took 3 hours plus to mow. Another mutual friend got him a job mowing for one of his homeowners. They had a lawn tractor there that he was welcome to use. He refused to use it and spent an hour and a half pushing his homeowners lawnmower instead. The job paid the same no matter how it was done. He always used a push mower and always will. fuck that ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Crappie Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 My poor JD lawn tractor gets very little use since I told my wife that mowing the lawn with a push mower makes her ass smaller and sexy. She rocks a 40v Ryobi like a boss. Lol 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teamgreen02 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Takes me around 2.5 hours to mow my place. An electric version to do this would be upwards of $30k. Takes longer to sharpen the blades than it does to maintain the Kawi engine. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pro tip - if the starter won’t engage (click click) be sure the blade engagement button is completely depressed… LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got sick of looking at it 1/2 cut. Hired a bud to do it. I had a 116 Deere mower that I bough used in the early 2000's. Great mower/tractor but she had a hard life before me, and an equally hard life with me. I'd get home from a 14hr day and find her somewhere in the yard, broke down. I fixed her as best I could, send her back out but she was just wore out. I'd been to the Deere dealer a few times before the 116's passing and had a new mower in my mind. Got home one Friday night and the old girl was in the middle of the lawn, broke down again. That was it. Deere dealer opened at 0700. I was there, with a trailer. We talked a bit and I bought a new X360, stick her on the trailer. Power lift, power steering. 22 hp Kawi engine, Just a joy to run Wife still doesn't cut the grass. Maybe the old mower soured that, I offered up we should hire a local kid to cut the lawn with our equipment (I've got everything, new and easy to use), but no. I should give up drinking on weekends and do it myself. We will have a meadow this year....until she gives up and I cut the entire place with the bush hog, in the air conditioned cab of the kubota.

I have one for cleaning my patio off, but would never use it in my yard. Pb-9010 I have makes even the biggest electric blower feel pointless. Greatest shovel made btw. I shovel a couple thousand square feet of patio and deck with it every time it snows. The electric can't do a sidewalk... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the CFM specs on them. I went into the Stihl dealer when my handheld Stihl blower crapped out. He ended up talking me into a BR500 backpack blower. A little heavier and bulky, but the power it puts out is worth it. I think I'd consider an electric trimmer though when my gas model craps out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crnr2Crnr Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 fuck Colorado's lawn mower and their liberal drug laws. 1996 Toro started on the 2nd pull and I didn't feel like wearing shoes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
