Question by kma22263: What’s the most dependable gas powered lawn mower out there?
I’ve got a really old Snapper and the recoil is shot. The repair guy told me he’d see if he could fix it, but that “they don’t make ‘em like this anymore”. So I figured if it can’t be fixed I should start looking around for a replacement mower. Thanks for your input!

Answer by Michael S
Toro Recycler seems to be a good mower. Most have a 2-year warranty with a 5 year guarantee for the engine to start on the first couple of pulls. I have one (model 20073) and I have 2 friends that have them. They also get great reviews. Hope this helps.

Electric Lawn Mowers and Their Advantages

When it comes to lawn mowers, the predominant model in most homes today is the gasoline powered type. And this has proven its effectiveness through the years, especially with big lawns. However, with the recent concerns of our modern society, electric lawn mowers are slowly gaining ground in their bid to replace their gas-powered predecessors. And there are good reasons for you to participate in doing so. Here are some of them:

First, electric lawn mowers are convenient to use. All they really require is an overnight charging and a simple push of a button. This stands in stark contrast to a gasoline mower, where a pull cord, and a constant supply of gasoline is a must. One also has to know about chokes, engine starters, carburetors and other things, especially when the engine won’t start, which happens more frequently in this type than with the electric version.

Second, electric lawn mowers are neighbor-friendly. That is because they are quiet, and they emit no smoke or fumes. This again is in contrast to the noisy roar of the gas version, which can be heard from several houses away, and wakes the neighbors up from their sleep. The gas-driven models also emit foul-smelling fumes, which can travel for several yards along a house or two, and further ruin the neighborhood ambience.

Thirdly, there is of course the environmental impact. We all know about global warming, and how fossil fuels contribute to it by the engine’s carbon-containing emissions. By using the same technology on our lawn, we are only contributing to the damage. True, the batteries of electric types are also causing some environmental damage, but at the moment it is far less than what fossil fuels have already done.

Then there is the maintenance. With a gasoline engine, you have to spend a lot more money to keep it running. There is the gas itself, the oil, the tune-ups, and the blade sharpening, all of which could total about 0 per year. On the other hand, an electric engine will need electricity (which is currently cheaper than gas), some blade sharpening, and little else. Besides saving yourself some effort, you could also save a lot of money with this engine type.

Finally, there is the effectiveness. Some people don’t prefer to go electric because the engines are not as powerful, but how big is the average lawn anyway? If you will have the discipline to mow when the grass is dry, and before the grass gets too high, then the effectiveness is virtually the same for an average sized lawn. Unless of course, you have a mansion, which may be the only case where the gasoline-powered machines will be superior.

what is the best gas lawn mower?

admin — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 06:33:40 +0000

Question by k b: what is the best gas lawn mower?
self prepelled and rear bag

Best answer:

Answer by Roz Madrid
When I went shopping for a lawn mower, I wanted to get the best normally available, because I was tired of dicking around with something that almost worked.

As recommended, I got a Troy-Bilt, and have been happy with it. As you note, self-propelled is an important consideration. Because I have a large lawn growing on sandy soil, I prefer to mulch the grass, rather than bagging and hauling it. (Living close to a nearly-defunct sawmill means there’s lots of well-aged compost available.)

Having a motor that did not require a gas/oil mixture reduced the “oops” factor.

Question by lemondrop: Overflowed gas tank on lawn mower?
I realize this might be a dumb question but I just poured gas in my lawn mower tank and it over flowed onto the deck in a little puddle. Do I rinse it off with water, or let it evaporate, or what?

Best answer:

Answer by woodtick314
Wipe off the excess, let the rest evaporate, you should be good to go. This happens all the time…..

Rechargeable Lawn Mowers Will Save You Money And The Environment

Why choose rechargeable mower? There’re very easy to start, merely push a button. Good bye pull cord . No harmful fumes that a gasoline engine produces, you will smell only newly mowed grass. You would also get the same features that are found on gasoline mowers like; mulching choice, bagging, side chute and even self propelled rechargeable mowers. Most rechargeable mowers have a removable battery which makes it easy to re-charge the battery. No lead to be always adjusting, with is a drawback with corded electric walk behind lawn mowers.

Rechargeable lawn mower are not suited for everybody. Because of their bulky heavy batteries some of them could weigh a bit more than gasoline mowers, as a result for those who have a undulating yard or have trouble with physical exertion, then go for one of the self propelled cordless mowers. If you allow your lawn get to long and thick in which case you could possibly be better of using a high performance gas walk behind mower and for those who have a sizable lawn area of more than 1/2 an acre in that case you’ll need a second battery since most batteries last for about one hr cutting time which is enough to do 1/2 an acre.

You get similar mulching and bagging option as gas lawn mowers. Battery powered mowers do a great job mowing but mulching still requires a lot more power than discharging, so bagging is a standard feature.
Electric mowers a rated in Watt Hours, which basically is how big your gasoline tank is, the higher watt-hours, the more time you’ll be able to mow before you have to recharge.

Lawn mowing path can be an essential consideration before selecting a eletric lawn mower, as the first thing manufacturers do when horse power is marginal is decrease the blade size, so this usually means the smaller rechargeable lawn mower as much more likely to be underpowered. Second, if you take into account that you have to overlap every pass by roughly 3″ a 20 inch blade now in effect cuts 13% more on every pass. For those who have a larger yard, you certainly don’t want anything less than 18 ins.

We recommended when you come to a decision to get a rechargeable mower, then find one with a removable battery. If you have a very large property, this means you are able to have a second battery charging from the power point of your choice while you are using the first. A second battery is an extra expense but it can be the difference between going electric or not. Finally, for those who keep the walk behind mower in a garage that does not have power; a removable battery will allow you to bring it in for recharging.

These next generation rechargeable lawn mowers are powered by 36 Volt motors and batteries. Why should you concern about higher voltage? Higher voltage means much more horse power, together with you can recharge the mower quicker. With the same chemistry and current, a 36V mower will charge 50% faster than a 24V battery mower.

What can I do with old gas in a lawn mower?

admin — Sat, 01 Jan 2011 06:40:11 +0000

Question by Padookahead: What can I do with old gas in a lawn mower?
I have not used my lawn mower for 2 years, it’s been in storage. Now I need to use it. What do I do with the gas that was left in the tank? Can I use it? Can I dilute it with fresh gasoline?

Best answer:

Answer by Bernard H
I’m sure you can just use it.

Gas does not have a half-life. It doesn’t expire like mike or other perishables.

Don’t worry, 2 years of not using the lawn mower is not that long. You should see my backyard

I need help with my lawn mower
it is used up and that means it ran out of gas.

how much money will I have to pay to refill it at the gas station?

first of all, don’t take the mower to the gas station. Buy a 1 gallon gas can, fill it at the station then you will have gas at home for the next time.

What do you think? Answer below!

AMP Rider by Ariens, an all-electric riding lawn mower, which delivers as much drive and cutting power as a conventional gas-powered riding mower without the emissions, oil, belts or noise associated with gasoline-powered mowers. The AMPTM Rider was designed to meet a growing market need for all-electric riding mowers that can match the power, cutting precision and reliability of gas-powered riding mowers offered by Ariens.
