    I think it has two batteries now.
    So two more batteries.
    I can buy a lot of fuel for the price of those batteries.

    No maintenance outweighs the extra battery cost. Fight me.

    You took the words out of my mouth. Maintenance is just charging the batteries.

    I take care of the property across the street (elderly couple). I use his equipment. He has an E-Go mower, trimmer, blower and chainsaw. They are amazing.....the mower and chainsaw in particular. They are not toys. These things are the real deal. I ain't kiddin'

    The winters here are getting “wetter”. More water content in snow, aka cement.
    Makes a huge difference…

    Yea, I need to do the rudder modification to mine. Thought I had the appropriate rubber pieces here, but I guess not.

    The one snow we had it rained on top of it, I was moving more water than anything :laugh:

    Been thinking of that mod for years. If I did it I’d do it on the toro first. It adds distance too.
