Re: (ET) Electric Lawn-Boy

As I had mentioned to Dennis, we have 2 -24V mowers: B&D which we've had for years on its 2nd battery, and a Ryobi, which is a bit heavier and whose charge doesn't seem to last as long. I've seen the CMM1000 for sale at 389 on Amazon, plus, reconditioned ones at anywhere from 279-300.

it's true that 36V would be great, as it would hold a much better charge. But I'll bet they would be heavy. If guys were mowing, probably no problem. But my mother in law has some trouble negotiating the 24 V. However, I sure like the noise of them! quiet!

Dennis, (and others),

I was talking to a local Toro dealer about two years ago. Toro used to, and

maybe still does, make a 36 volt electric lawn mower. (Last I checked they

still make a 24 volt push mower, but I seem to remember that the dealer said

that 36 volt was discontinued due to its weight causing low sales. I'd

prefer the extra power and/or endurance despite the weight.) The Lawn Boy

was the Toro painted green per this same dealer.

So if you want the specs check out the Toro electric push mowers.

I don't know the asking price, I'd definitely consider buying it. My gas

push mower sounds like a bearing might be going bad. I just haven't been

able to get an electric push mower I could justify buying.

As a matter of fact, if you don't buy it, I'd like to, that is if it were

anywhere near Delaware.
