John Deere electric mower. No bids as of this posting... :)

That's tempting.

It is in line with my goal of "no more gas" by the end of the year. That would eliminate gas used for a mower.

I did have a (gas) mower of this style a few years back. I found that the small front tires really didn't work well in my yard. Larger front tires really help a lot on my bumpy, soft soil.

Yeah, I've noticed that same thing. A person might be able to put the next larger sized tires on one of those, and still not hit the deck with them, or even run the tires at the lower end of the pressure range, so they'll absorb some of the shock.

Damn that's cool.
If he was local I might just buy it even though I mow about 5 acres.
Lets see .5 acre per charge, so 10 charges per mow . . . Not sounding very promising for battery life.

It's still there...
 

and now priced at $350!!! For a John Deere!!! :eek:
