But, as I said before, I would prefer electric only for lawn care (that is what I use), but it is only a couple days a week and only a few minutes each time - it is certainly not TEOTWAEKI.
Why remove the mufflers on the ride around mowers, blowers and edgers? Sort of defeats the purpose of noise abatement. Does removing the mufflers make the equipment more fuel efficient?
