I wish i could straight cut like that. I am avoiding trees and stumps everywhere
Yes mine used to be pastures so the obastacles are gone but When its like that as you can imagine you cant go fast which computes to boring , when I was down this last year My gardener did it and said he was nodding off

I thought I would drink beers while I mowed. I cant because I have to watch out for all the obstacles. Lol

Was this the guy that sold you on the warranty at Costco and told you to buy it?

This is portion of my 1 acre. I’m keeping natural grass upfront so I bought a John Deere from Lowe’s. It works fabulous with two big bags.

Stupid that it doesn’t come with a hook to hang your purse on. Must be an aftermarket add on. You can always just set it on your skirt
Thats so stupid it made me laugh. Lol

Lol. Have at it. IDGAF

The USB i use to just charge my phone while cutting. It takes about 6 hours to cut the property
Is that cause you have to recharge every 30min?😂

Not even sure why people use gas anymore, nothing worse than listening to the guy blow shit with his noisy ass gas blower pinned out at 10k for a hour.

I checked it out on Costco. You think there's a reason some chick is using it in every photo?

haha.....On my travels across the USA whenever I would see someone on a rider mower it was almost always a woman. I was surprised at that honestly. I mentioned it in that thread and others chimed in and observed the same thing. Damn if I know

I can tell you we only had push mowers growing up....f that!

There are certain things that you need that gas torque for sure. I gotta tell you this mower gets the job done and honestly that is my only requirement. An 8 year warranty is awesome backed by Costco. Not much better than that IMO

Haters gonna hate :)

… When I moved to my many Time girlfriends show horse Ranch in Oklahoma, …the first thing I noticed was the five dead gas powered mowers… 5 acre property 2 1/2 acres which needed to be mowed… The rest pasture which the horses took care of…Girlfriend looked really cute mowing those last 2 1/2 acres in her sundress … Yep… For some reason, it was always chicks doing the mowing in Oklahoma🤷🏽‍♀️

I currently have a foot in both camps. I never could keep my Husqvarna blower in ready to run condition. Required many trips the the repair shop. This started me down the Makita 18v road. Blower is 18x2 but still doesnt move as much air as the Husky. The Makita hedge trimmer is much lighter than the Stihl gas one and cuts almost as well. It is also on an extension pole that I can add a small chain saw or other things to, but I haven't used that yet. The hand held Makita chain saw (18x2) works well on branches up to about 5 inches so far, but batteries give up before the end of the day. I believe it is a 14" bar. I'm dreading the amount of cash a new mower is gonna run me.
