New Hippie Mower

10-23-2008 New Hippie Mower

Lisas complaint about the cord on my mower the one time she mowed my yard was sufficient reason to upgrade to a cordless model. After selling my current model for $60 at my garage sale (which was still going strong 5 years later, contrary to previous predictions), I found a $200 cordless clearance model on Amazon. On arrival, the circuit board was damaged from shipping so I had to wait till lastnight for the replacement one. An hour later it was up and running and my first cut was a success. The battery meter still shows 3/4 charge, so I can easily get two mows per charge. It's definitely heavier than my corded model, probably due to the equivalent of 4 motorcycle batteries on board, but easier to get around and now Lisa approved. Hopefully this hippie mower will turn out to be just as dependable and effective as my last.

I jumped on the Electric mower band wagon last year after buying a craftsman that lasted 3 mows. I love my Toro electric.

Ironically Hippies don't use mowers, as it's a weapon of mass destruction to billions and billions of blades of grass. It's a dooms day machine!

I cover almost 3 acres on my lawn tractor. It comes in handy when sweeping/mulching leaves too. It gets about 80 mpg, so I'll be using it to commute to work when gas prices return to $5/gal. after the thaw. Good luck disposing those batteries in a year ;-)
