Great idea ! Actually, the maximum flow is only 1.1 GPM, so a 5 gallon tank would last about 4-1/2 minutes.

Another consideration is whether @riverguy even needs a self-propel mower for its intended purpose. It's going to be used for trimming where the tractor can't go, which is probably a lot of forward and reverse motion where a self-propel is more of a hindrance than help. Unless the terrain is...

So, Greenworks has just introduced another innovative 60 volt OPE. This time it's a hybrid AC/DC pressure washer that uses their 60 volt batteries for DC operation. There are two battery ports, but I don't know if the pressure washer uses them sequentially or concurrently. If it's the former...

@dougmacm - Just to be clear, @riverguy was considering the Greenworks 21” single blade dual battery port 60 volt lawn mower, and not the 25” dual blade model.

The controls seem fine to me, but I’ve never owned a self-propelled lawn mower, so I can’t really comment on them. If this is for your wife, perhaps you might consider a smaller lighter mower that is easier to handle.

Well, the Greenworks battery weighs about 4-1/2 lbs, whereas the overall weight of the mower including battery is over 70 lbs. So, the battery is a small percentage of the overall weight, and I doubt you would notice the difference with the battery position. The mower comes with only one...

So, you got a dud, no doubt a few weak cells. This is not typical of most Li-Ion batteries. I’m not sure about the quality of Kobalt batteries, but I’ve had excellent luck with my Greenworks batteries that are made by the same Chinese conglomerate. As to long term storage, I’d recommend...

Sometimes when things go wrong they end up going righter. So, I noticed that Lowe's had this battery for sale on July 8, and placed the order. At that time Greenworks did not show this battery as being available on their website. The total cost including state sales tax was $247.89, and it was...

The problem with the EGO string trimmer is that you can't rotate the string head 90 degrees on the shaft, so that the trigger grip and auxiliary handle remain vertical. This makes operation as an edger very awkward. The WORX and all trimmer/edgers allow you to rotate the head 90 degrees on the...

If you have a flat lawn, you really don't need self-propel, because the mower is very lightweight. You can buy a push version of the EGO mower.
