Gas

Gas

I've thought about going electric with that (one of those battery powered ones not a corded one just begging me to run over the cord). I'm curious how long those batteries actually last/how good the mowers really are.

Though my parents have had a gas mower for going on 20 years now with zero issues......not sure electric ones can hold up that long.

My mom has an electric one and it's been pretty alright for the past five years or so.

The last house I rented before buying our house, the owner knocked $100 a month off if we took care of the lawn maintenance, so he could stop paying someone to go it. I accepted, and he dropped off a new electric corded mower with a 100' cable.

Dear god was mowing that lawn with that thing a super pain in the ass.

Never ran over the cord though in the 4 years we were there.

Battery or plug in? I'm not as worried about the electric motor as I am about the shelf life of the batteries. I'd expect around the 5 year mark the batteries would either not hold a charge or hold such a small charge that I'd do about 10 sq ft before having to charge them back up again.

Meh

worth repeating.

them first couple of cuts per year are not easy on the body. I have a bit of property and with a 48" walk-behind it takes me around 3 hrs moving at a decent pace. 4 hrs if I do trimming of stuff that only gets cut 1x month.

Man you gotta get a zero turn. Once you own one you will never go back to anything else for cutting grass.

Man.....i must be the only person who likes the pomelo yellow on the mk8.
