Hello:

Heard there's a walk-behind type of grass mower available now with
electric
start.
Not sure of brand; possibly Toro /

Can't be too popular (yet), as this is the first time I've heard about it,
and HD didn't have any.

How do they work; plug it in like a snowblower (or battery ?) ?

With my bad back, it sure sounds desireable.

Think it's a good investment, or not proven yet technology for lawnmowers
?

Thanks,
Bob



Lawnboy makes them and have for years......25 or more.
I think the one you are thinking about is the Troy Built model at
Lowes...839E is a key start with a battery.
They USED to offer one that was pushbutton start, it had no battery, and
used a large capacitor to store energy from the mag..
You still had to pull start it the first time of the day tho..
