Loaded question on mower - battery or gas

[brettwasbtd]

Personally I wouldn't buy either at the moment. I hire the landscaper that mowed it the first time or shop around for another that had a better or cheaper price and let them mow until I got the storage shed built then buy a good gas mower that would last you more than a couple of seasons. You'd probably come out ahead in the long run.

Its $35 a cut and they come every 7-10 days, anything I buy, even if it only lasts one season will put me WAY ahead. Maybe I could find someone else cheaper, but thats more hassle in my mind.

35$ is pretty good for 1/3 acre...

I agree 35 is good for the size. As for storing it outside just put it under a cover or close to the side of your house throw a tarp or something over it to keep water out of the engine

Just wanted to close the loop on my decision. I ended up getting the 190CC Briggs and Stratton model MTD 21" from Home depot $239.99. I am keeping it under the deck with a heavy duty tarp covering it. Cut 5 times now and it is doing great. Added some weight to the rock guard flap to get some better striping and cutting two swipes in the same direction to get wider and "somewhat" more professional width stripes. Probably the best I can do with this mower and stripes
