Nice find, Ben!

We recently traded mowers with my brother. Traded the plug-in electric for his hulking 6hp gas. Mostly because the electric is small/light enough that my 9 y/o nephew can cut their grass (the gas one was too big for him to handle).

I mostly use a push reel mower, but every 4 or 5 cuts use the powered one (eg. if I let it grow too long). I figure the swap was win, win on several fronts, even though I'm now stuck using the gas one once in a while.
