Finally got rid of my Gas Mower [View all]

The self drive died. Probably could of fixed it with a new cable but instead I used it as an excuse to buy a 60 Volt Toro Recycler Mower. No more gas, spark plugs, oil and noise/ smell.

There were lot's of brand available but somehow buying a mower from a actual mower company felt better than buying one from a battery company.

The only thing better would be to be able to charge it from my solar panels which I don't have yet.

Clean & Green baby!!
