My biggest bugbear - irrespective of power source - is stopping to empty
the grass box every 2 passes of the lawn.

Something I belive may be close to your heart, I see they are setting
pigs loose in areas of the country that were originally 'managed' by
such animals in any case, because it's easier and more productive at
returning the habituate to what was good and supported good diversity
than anything we can do manually (or afford to do manually). ;-)

In the same way fallen trees or stuff that might be cleared is often
left to provide habitat etc.

Wild boar are not so welcome not far away from me in the Forest of Dean.
