This thing is pretty sweet. I got mine from Costco and they doubled the warranty from 4 to 8 years. They also included in the bag on the back for collecting the grass cut and an extra set of replacement blades. I dont use the basket though. I cant quote do all my cutting with one charge as I have tons of trees to avoid but at 5% the mower turns off and you go into limp mode. Go swap out the batteries and off and running again. Easy peasy.

Never had a rider before but have to admit this thing is very easy to use. There are two usb ports for you to use as well. Got a few cheap shots from the fellas but it preforms so doesnt bother me in the least.

I also ordered their chain saw which uses the same batteries and it cuts great. Came with the standard extra chain and tool.

I now have 15 of those 80v lithium batteries. Lol

Very happy with my purchases

I haven't had a lawn in 30 years so a question..............why do you need USB ports on a mower??

I have two gas echos for trimming.

One of the biggest reasons I purchased this is the strong costco return policy and 8 year warranty thru them. Plus the extras provided

I'm slowly heading to the dark side.

My new battery weed wacker is growing on me. Quiet and I can do the yard twice before charging.

My Toro mower is over 20 years old, when It dies the replacement will be battery also...

It will be nice not to have storage problems with ethanol in the gas and wear ear plugs. Did I mention quiet?

How funny I literally just drove from California to Vegas to buy gas powered Toro with my ride. Couldn't pay me to get a battery anything.

That thing sure is cute and all, but can it send a golf ball right through the side of your house?

My Scag can....😜

Met him on multiple occasions while living in Monterey. He is a good human being. Our family was his guest at his tennis tournament he used to put on every year. My brother was the poster kid that year. ;)
You're not the first person to say that about him to me

Not to thread jack, but my daughter stayed at his house for a few nights while at a horse show at Pebble Beach. She was there with his granddaughter from Washington State. She had him autograph her saddle, so of course it was retired after the show.

To get back on track….I like the mower. 🙂

You might get some of your cred back by mounting steer horns on the front of it, and a gun rack just behind the seat.

And you should probably consider repainting it to a Texas college set of colors of your choice (UT/TCU/T A&M).
Left out Baylor

Would just need a little gold paint to be Baylor, right?

Sorry I missed it, I know there’s a couple others I probably didn’t include either but I’m not from Texas.
You left Texas State out and that's OK, it's the Berkley of Texas
