but does it allow you to remove sections from inside the area you measured? like if you had a pool, trampoline, swing set, garden, etc...?
wtf would you need to do that for? what's a trampoline? 12' diameter? it's not going to make it go from fucking 5,000 square feet to 20,000 you fucking buffoon
The cost of batteries is what keeps me on gas for the mower and snowblower. I run premium with a fuel stabilizer in my small engines. I ran less than 10 gallons of premium through my mower and snowblower last year. Say premium is $7 a gallon that’s $70 to run both, plus a $20 oil change, plug and air filter kit for each, so being real generous $110. What kind of battery can I get for $110 and how many years will it last being charged and ran dry 2-3 times a week all spring-fall?
Another thing I read is the overall longevity of the electric/mower system, especially for the cost. I'm sure this will improve over time as things standardize and more commercial level quality comes from them, but still gotta factor that in. No scientific facts here, but I commonly read that batteries last about 5, the rest of the mower itself 10'ish...
By way of comparison, my oldest Snapper is 27 years old. The Crapsman tractor is 21. My Arien's mower is around 20. All are running strong and nothing other than basic maintenance is needed.
The site I posted was from a video I saw. Basically it’s nice to cut all of those items out if you are anal about the chemicals and supplies for your lawn. Helps get the right mixtures and purchase correct amounts. While it’s not world saving, money is money, and I has lots of sidewalk to factor in if I were to be spreading stuff around.
I’m not one of those people but knowing I have roughly 10,400 square feet of just grass would probably be useful information if I were one of those ultra lawn lords.
I’m not sure, and can’t confirm. It’s give and take either way you go, and if I had bought a house even 5 years ago I would have a gas mower and snow blower most likely. Figured if I’m gonna buy now, might as well just jump electric instead of making a switch later. Also very convenient storage since I just fold my mower up and put it against the wall and same with the blower.
Ego has a dual battery model where the batteries are in parallel so you get 2x the runtime if that’s what you are concerned about
Your snapper lasted 27 years because it was quality, new shit isn’t built like that

Let’s you select your lot, then deselect your house, driveway, sidewalk, trees, anything else.
If you go Ego, don’t go cheap. My neighbor behind me has the cheapest Ego and he has to charge 3-4 times to cut 1/2 acre.
But how many amp hour? Two winters ago the guy across the street was snowed in with an electric single stage. My driveway is 120’ long I need a two stage for the few times we get heavy snow and I get called into work in the middle of the night.
I hate that outlet mall but that is relevant to my interests. Last time we went there we almost bought a bunch of baby clothes at carters. I go on their website and they had a sale where the prices were cheaper. Besides when I was a sneaker head and hit up Nike weekly for obscure shit that ended up on clearance that place is pointless in my opinion.
I love my Dewalt string trimmer and blower. I don’t need 4 small engines to maintain.
This. Guy across the street has an ego with a 1/4 acre lot and he has to finish with this ancient black and decker battery mower.
