go ahead and laugh, until the generator throws a rod.

I don't have a generator.



I just can't see you as the laughing type.

I laugh at people with busted lawnmower engines.

How long does it take you with that electric lawnmower, James? Granted,
you can cover 100 square feet of lawn (or do you insist on using metric
equivalent) in a short amount of time.

Size of mower is not equal to type of mower power unit.

Of course it isn't equal. It is, however, dependent upon the size. Try
running a 60" ZTR mower with either a battery or electrical cord.

Electric mowers are just the thing for a table top "city" lawn. When
you start keeping acres manicured. . . not so much.

"An electric lawn mower is still suitable for large gardens as range is only limited to the length of extension lead you can get, and there are also powerful models available."


Large "garden" is what, 1000 sq meters? Try using that extension cord on
an acre or two and see how it goes. BTW, this is a riding mower we're talking
about. You see riding electric mowers with power cords dragging behind
much?


No, because we're not big fat yanks that like to sit down to do everything. You want fries with that?
