Re: (ET) RE: That time of the year again...



Hey - everyone needs an Elec-trak.  I have slightly over 1/2 acre, and a
battery charge lasts a long time.  But its not overkill. Mine gets used for
mowing, and it cuts the time to do my lawn in half compared to a hand push
18 inch mower.  I sure do miss the exercise....
