I’m in my 5th year on the dual battery cordless

No gas, oil, quiet, and no smell.

Never going back to gas mower for my 2 0,75 acre lawns

My local lawn and garden equipment peddler tried to talk me into an electric brushcutter last week (makita), I almost bit until the truth came out that unless I had ~10 extra $80ea batteries sitting on $200 per pair chargers waiting to go there's no way I could run it all day. A gallon of gas gets me 4 or 5 instant recharges and a tankfull still lasts longer than a couple batteries. They have their uses and I really considered it, but the tech just isn't quite there yet for my needs, especially since the E version cost the same as gas before batteries and chargers.

I'm on a qtr acre and have been using my 40v ryobi mower and string trimmer a year and a half now. so far so good but you do have to keep it mowed, it doesnt like super long or wet grass. I bought more attachments for the trimmer, pole saw is nice, hedge trimmer is super nice. The edger would probably be ok but the jack ass that put in my brick driveway left some longer than others and the grass hides it... Clunk goes the edger wheel as it takes a chunk out of the brick and flings it into my shin

if you are contemplating electric mowers, look on facebook market place or offerUp. lots of cheap stuff where people bought them just for the batteries and chargers

My yard, about 2/3 of an acre, has some St. Augustine and some of whatever comes up when any bare dirt is left alone for a couple of weeks around here. I have to cut every 4 or so days at this time of year or I will be baling hay.

I buy some parts from the very expensive small engine shop down the street, but I do all my own work. I have a 20+ year old craftsman lawn tractor that I manage to keep going ... new tires this year, new spindle bearings and blades every couple of years, complete new deck about 5 years ago. Mowers here rot out long before the engines die.

My push mower (for trimming) has a really nice honda engine, but the deck is falling apart.

I have a battery powered ryobi string trimmer that I like a lot. I see Ryobi now makes a battery powered riding mower. I would like to see one in action.

Don’t know if this works but it might slow down the rust on deck. It gets good reviews. https://www.amazon.com/Tite-Seal-MDS11-Mower-Protectant-Fluid_Ounces/dp/B01BVA7CWQ

I have st augistine,centipead and burmuda...I hate the burmuda. you can mow 10 feet long strip and the mower is full. as augistine you can mow almost10 x as much befor having to empty the bag. it's a lot heaver but you only have to empty it 1 time with st augstine & centerpeed. I mowed about 3/4 of the front yard around 6pm...hot as hell , skin burning, I was wore out and the mower was too..so...somebody gonna have to finish it up tomarow...or sometime. if you dont have grass hear you have a sand pit.Im not fond of sand. unless there are bikini's on it. Im so wore out I cant sleep. and brain wont turn off..... and tomorrow I wont be able to turn it on.....go figure. I spent most of the day making sawdust...probably will tomorow too.
in the sun... and probably finish the grass...or let the wife doo it
