Electric Riding Lawn Mowers

I only had Craftsman riding mowers, I had a little over 3.5 acres, and they did well by me. The first one I actually trashed myself by using it to clear brush, I had gotten an estimate of $5000 to bush hog so I figured even if I beat up my mower it's still less than half the price of bush hogging. I beat the hell out of that machine and it kept on cutting grass for another 2 years. Definitely not normal use so it made me really like the quality of Craftsman mowers.

 

Like with anything trendy the prices are going to stay high and more importantly the cost of replacement batteries is staggering.

I switched from a gas powered string trimmer and hedge trimmer to battery. Still have my John Deere riding mower with Kawasaki gas engine.

There are some commercial accounts that have them but they can always pass the cost on to the customer.

Honestly I still enjoy the hum of the gas engine while cutting my grass.

Let us know how you make out when you transition to battery.

 

Shit, guess I need to read better. Missed the electric in the thread title.

Go with EGO. They have come a long way. Not saying other brands are bad but my experience with EGO has been spectecular. 3 years in, no issues, whatsoever. And I have a cheap version that was $600 or something. If you have a huge yard maybe spend extra but if not, lower EGO models also do a very good job.

 

You don’t just let the livestock out to graze?

 

You know those goats are too traumatized to eat

 

I like my goats lean.

 

This won’t work for me as the dog would eat it but

 

:23 tells you all you need to know.

 

C ya.

 

My dad has had the same craftsman riding mower for like 20 years now.... probably going to be hard to get parts soon

 

A decent pair of shears would do my garden. That or guinea pig.

 

Buy some goats.

 

I would definitely buy another Craftsman if I ever have grass again but I hope I never do. I couldn't believe it held up so well with the way I beat the hell out of it.

Have the one I replaced it with still sitting over at the house I'm selling, been sitting for 2 years but I'm sure throw some gas in it, charge the battery and be mowing the grass straight away.

 

I'll keep you on my prayers. I'm an atheist, so that's a bit of an obstacle.

 

always sucks when typos ruin a good joke, but that was a really lame, unoriginal "attempt" at a joke...or witticism.....or whatever it was you were attempting to say, sooooooooooooooo..........this trio of sad faces is for you
