Re: (ET) downsizing

*nod*. Yeah, there is THAT. I let my 1994 Geo Prizm electric car go a decade ago because the Leaf had come out and why drive a 20 year old Toyota when you can drive a new Leaf?
So the rest of the world has caught up. We were and are the trailblazers, but you're probably right that a Ryobi thing would be a much better solution (and easier on the lawn) than my E20. 

Hopefully this list will keep the lights on in the meantime :-)

Technology has finally caught up to the Elec-Trak, at least for cutting 
grass.  There are many better options for that now.  I picked up a used 
Ryobi Electric Zero turn and its light years ahead for the purpose of 
cutting grass.

Nothing beats an Elec-Trak for all around versatility.  I will hold on to 
mine for snow removal and everything else it can do. But I'm getting rid 
of all my extra parts as I don't see myself restoring another one.

Yeah, age is coming for us all. Even as a newcomer (25 years) I'm still 
in my mid-50's, and I am beginning to believe that the NiCD batteries
*will* outlive me.

That said, I love my tiller. I have a bit of a drainage problem in the
yard, so as soon as things dry out a bit I'm going to basically use the
tiller to dig a drainage trench right down the yard to give the water a
place to go. Instant drain system :-)

Aside from that, all is well here. I now have 4 spare motors for the
deck, so should be set for awhile.
