Combine, to get a charge out in the middle of the field. John Deere are working on it now. Once they which over to electric they’ll be no going back! Well I’m sure your mower is under warranty, take it back!
Here is that word "FORCED" again... sigh. Please instead of using code, tell us how some one is being FORCED to buy things?

And I use all DeWalt electric tools (sanders, routers, drills, mower, steering edger, etc etc etc.) So that I have a set of batteries that work on all of them. And they are PERFECT. Stunningly good and better than my previous gas equivalent. When I had 11 acres to mow, I never considered an electric, but now with a postage stamp.

Maybe you are right, maybe I should buy a enclosed air-conditioned, Chrome plated V8 powered zero turn riding mower with a built in home theater entertainment system, refrigerator and glass pack exhaust system. Then me, and my neighbors have have drag races to see who can mow their lawn the fastest in the most comfort - I expect around 3 seconds will be attainable.

Sorry for the sarcasm, I guess I see so many arguments telling everyone that uses electric anything how wrong they are. It has progressed to just being funny.

Kind of like getting a chuckle when I see a Ferrari standing in Traffic on the I5 in LA.
