Island Of Misfits

[user 60570]

I'd be just as pissed if it would have been an old folk's home. Life is life, and not to be taken.

Not me. Lived through it once. Might not be that lucky the second time.

You must have a really small lawn. I do use an electric whacker, but a mower would be futile for me.

i can do my gf’s yard on one charge

then we have the yard over at the homestead 1/3 acre but I cut the grass there with my riding Snapper by Craftsman 16.5 Koehler engine , bought it 11 years ago….(don’t tell anyone but I’ve only changed the oil 4 times)

We weren't dirt poor, but lived like we were because my parents grew up during the Great Depression. What they did give me was a good work ethic, which went a long way toward my success.

same here

we did not see a lot of my dad growing up , he worked 6 days a week , had to raise 10 kids , so yeah , he worked a lot and left that work ethic with me

if ya dig a ditch , dig a good ditch! ……drilled into my brain by pops lol



edit….gf front yard

Kinda the same boat. My Old Man took his muster out money and started a construction business that lasted up to a year before he died.
I remember at around three or four years old, my Mom gave big brother a choice between going out on the Old Man's job to see him, or going to the Flint Amusement Park. We chose to go see him.

Nothing going on so I decided to cut the grass today.

most of that grass out there is buffalo grass and we wanted it to go to seed before the first mow

some small tumbleweeds are getting stuck in the dandelions so now that the last frost danger is over we will bust out the mower and knock it all down

Thats pretty good amount of time . I have a makita 18 volt which lasts about 18 minutes with a single battery. I have the makita platform with all my cord Lesses and have 5 batteries. Two batteries does it for me more like three for the first wacking

I like the one I just bought
But yrs ago I bought my wife a Worx weed eater (cheapest model 10 yrs ago) and it sucked wind , They seem to be more advanced now.

She could cut newly grown grass edges but that was all it could handle
No heavy stuff like this, 2 months worth of side grass this thing eats it up as good as any gas one. Problem is when it runs out of E-Gas
There are lots of electric battery ones fairly cheap no I would not get a corded one unless you have a small area to maintain .
Shop around on holiday sales for best price . I say I like it so far.

Sound good thank you, I have so many things on my wish list. I get thing for the grow come first.

That may be more of what @ness2 may need , tell here about yours she may be looking for one
Was it light weight , mine is as heavy as my commercial gas Echo.
But have just as much cut power Im sure or close to it

Ness Get one with a battery and only get one your yard size requires no need to pay extra if you do not need it.
I bought an EGO brand through Homedepot or Amazon but it was over 200 dollars
But I wanted More Power Its a man thing LOL
