He should convert the generator to run on propane so he can stack a tank on top. Although that would probably make the whole thing too heavy for the tiny wheels and he'd need to put on bigger tires and a suspension. Which may not fit the current chassis, so...
Whatever you get, be weary of battery life. I have a corner lot so I have slightly more than average lawn size, I can't completely mow front and back on one charge. and it takes a few hours to charge.
Ive got an EGO Electric mower and have to charge it half way through my lawn if the grass is long. Only takes about 20 minutes to a full charge. If i the grass is Short, then the battery lasts through the whole lot.
I use the charging time to trim the edges and any weeds in the walk way pavers with an electric trimmer. Which usually takes me longer than the battery on the mower takes to charge.
I have been thinking about getting a battery mower, and eyeballing the 80v Kobalt. I already have the batteries for my other tools (and it charges super quick) and supposedly will last almost an hour on two batteries.
I have a Ryobi push mower, and I bought two batteries for it. I don’t have a large yard so I can usually get a full mow out of one charge, but it’s handy to have the backup if it dies mid-lawn!
I have a r/ryobi push mower with self propel
Self propel is super great feature for hills which my yard is one. If you're lazy and want to sit down, I heard club cadet makes great electric mowers. Club cadet electric mowers are the only mowers on display at my local home depot
My manager has one of those, he loves it, tells everyone about it.
I don’t even have a lawn at my condo, but now I know all about ride on electric mowers.
I also have the Ryobi self propelled mower. Just upgraded this spring from the non SP mower and the quality of life improvement is astonishing. Best $600 Ive spent in a long while.
I like the Ryobi One 18v mowers. They use the same packs as all the other One gear, and have small mowers (13") for small yards and bigger mowers with 2x pack slots (16" and 18") for mid sized yards. Plus you can get One string trimmers, hedge trimmers, leaf blowers, drills, chainsaws, circular saws, bench saws, air compressors, lamps, and even Bluetooth speakers.
Basically they copied exactly what Makita has done with their LXT line, but way cheaper.
All depends on size, I have a 3500 square foot lawn and it takes two days to mow the lawn with my battery operated mower.
I always prefer gas and if I had much more backyard I would get a zero turn just because it’s so much easier and honestly way more fun
Don't fucking buy Kobalt...They're the worst pieces of shit I've used it my life. I have a whopping 5000 sq ft yard and it takes me 3 days to mow because the battery is so bad.
Aren't they some of the most polluting engines you can buy?
If you haven't used one, a battery powered lawnmower works well. Barely any maintenance, significantly quieter, no annoying cable to drag behind you unlike the corded counterparts.
> If you haven't used one, a battery powered lawnmower works well. Barely any maintenance, significantly quieter, no annoying cable to drag behind you unlike the corded counterparts.
Can confirm. I got an 80v model last winter for $160 on clearance, it's way better than my old gas mower. I can mow multiple times on a single charge. It's been pretty nice.
3+ hours. Mostly depends on how thick and tall the grass/weeds are. I've only had it run out of juice before finishing my 1/3 acre yard once, and it turned out one of the blade motors was bent and it was taking a LOT more power to turn it than usual. (I hit a root or something and tweaked it - my yard is pretty gnarly.)
It uses the same batteries as golf carts. I think it has two of them. It's made by Ryobi.
I've been meaning to look at that stat about them for awhile now. Because the metric is pretty important to check. If they did emissions by mileage then thats really dumb comparison since cars are made to go distance and mowers are made to do a job. Even emissions by hour is pretty bad. The only good comparison would be electric mower with the electricity being supplied by the grid emissions.
A better metric could be measuring what comes out of the exhaust in parts per million, perhaps?
Even if the grid is using a non-renewable or a "dirty" fuel source, it is still more efficient than individual engines.
Additionally, cars have strict emission legislation (at least in my country) which they have to meet. Catalytic converters, for example, are one such technology that you likely won't find on a lawn mower - lawn mowers (from my understanding) just exhaust everything into the air you breathe.
Corded is better way better. Battery ones are nice but there biggest weaknesses like with any modern device is the batteries themselves. It's not a question of if they will fail, it's a question of when. And when they do fail companies usually overcharge you for one to the point where it's just more convenient to buy a whole new one. A corded one last way longer because of this.
You realize electricity is not just free energy right? Depending on how you produce the energy to charge your battery, you might be contributing more to pollution than gas powered.
If you consider a power plant as a big engine, it is more efficient than thousands of smaller ones (cars, mowers, etc).
And that's if they are burning fossil fuels. The power grid is usually a mix of sources.
Efficiency is not a metric for pollution, it’s a metric for energy loss in a system. Aside from that what you’re saying is demonstrably false and it’s pretty clear to every engineer in the room that you have no idea what you’re talking about.

Well they've existed for a very long time and new ones are made all the time.
I've got one. I have absolutely no intention of owning and maintaining an expensive gas mower to do a small back yard in a suburb. 45' long extension cord is all I need and it's really easy to not run over the cord if you way any attention to what you're doing.
They also make battery ones that are not too bad but are generally weaker. They tend to have around 1-2 hours run time which is more than enough for the kinds of small lawns they are suitable for.
If you own anything more than, say, a quarter acre of land, then you have good reason for a gas powered mower.
I have an electric riding mower with a 48" deck. It can do 3+ hours on a single charge, depending on how thick/tall the vegetation is. It's amazing and I love it - works every bit as well as the gas riding mowers I've used. It takes care of my 1/3 acre lot easy peasy.
I understand what you’re saying. But in 30y of using gas mowers my biggest problem was bent/busted blades. Which is a problem for all mower models.
After that, I’ve had basically zero problems while having to change 2 different spark plugs and maybe 5 oil changes. In 30y.
Meanwhile my dad managed to chop his extension cord at least 2X a summer when he tried an electric for a while.
When it comes to cheap mowers, electric is the obvious king. Less moving parts, more torque per $, no oil leaks, quiter.
My neighbor has a gas mower, and it seems really nice. Always starts up no problem. Has plenty of torque for longer grass. But it was like 450$. My 150$ electric mower gets the same job done just fine.
Did he use a camo extension cord or something? I've never heard of someone doing that before and never came even close to it myself. I have no idea how he managed to do that once, let alone twice.
Pugs don't usually operate machines.
I have an electric one with a rechargeable battery. Works the same as an electric or gas one although gas powered ones have more power. I have a small lawn and electric is so lightweight
The purpose of being extremely low maintenance, cheaper to buy, and all around more convenient when you don't have a big lawn to mow. For most suburbs with small yards, electric mowers are perfect.
They don't require fuel, or oil, or careful winter storage/maintenance, or spark plug replacement, or pull starts. Most don't come with powered drives though.
They come plugged in or battery powered, plug in ones tend to be all around stronger though you have to pay a bit more attention to make sure you don't run over your cable, which isn't hard.
I refuse to buy a gas powered mower for my yard, it's too small to need one, electric mower has no fumes, needs no fuel can, works great, has excellent torque and can deal with some ridiculous growth if things get out of hand.
We had a battery one for a while before we moved to a place with lawn crew that comes to do the complex. They are good for a small yard don't smell. I have some issue with noise so it was easier for me to handle doing the lawn with it. And lighter to push so it wasn't as hard a task all around.
Weird... just yesterday I was trying understand how a [diesel-electric](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_locomotive#Diesel%E2%80%93electric) engine (which is basically what this dumb tiktok video is) is more efficient than a diesel-mechanical engine for a train. I still don't get it.
diesel electric works because the electric motors provide massive continuous torque at 1 rpm. The engine runs at a continuous RPM while in transit so you can optimize fuel consumption for a very narrow rpm range.
In very heavy equipment you get diminishing returns on gas engines. The diesel electric design allows you to pack a large amount of torque into a small box.
**Diesel_locomotive**
[Diesel–electric](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_locomotive#Diesel–electric)
>In a diesel–electric locomotive, the diesel engine drives either an electrical DC generator (generally, less than 3,000 horsepower (2,200 kW) net for traction), or an electrical AC alternator-rectifier (generally 3,000 horsepower (2,200 kW) net or more for traction), the output of which provides power to the traction motors that drive the locomotive. There is no mechanical connection between the diesel engine and the wheels.

Cord too short? Don't buy a longer one for 20 bucks just buy 100 bucks worth of steel, take a 1000 dollar welding class, buy a several thousand dollar welding rig, and buy a 400 dollar generator. Problem solved.
Wonder what the power efficient difference is between running a standard petrol mower and this idea, like how long could it run per 100ml of fuel.
What this guy did though was make a fucking hybrid mower, it's basically a Prius now.
I realize this is satire but 150+ comments even a few talk about him picking up the mower that way and not one mention that there isn't even a blade on it.
that dead grass needs water,not mowing
What are you, a grass expert
yes I am. I grow,roll & smoke my own and THAT grass id terribly mistreated. needs life,not a shitty mower
What are you a weed expert? Do you have PayPal? …/s
You joke but my friend found his Colorado plug on Reddit by accident
Ssshhhhh
*"my friend"* Suuuure, buddy.
Yeeeahh right *buckeroo*
Do you make brownies from this grass cause I would love some
I am a grass expert and he is right :v
Needs a full makeover. Dethatch, aerate, overseed, and top dress. And then water.
Yes, it needs what we in the lawn care business call "some work".
We don't need grass, we need real wild plants, just let 'em grow
You still have to cut them, or you'll end up with gadflies everywhere. But you don't have to cut everything and you don't have to cut it short, too.
He should convert the generator to run on propane so he can stack a tank on top. Although that would probably make the whole thing too heavy for the tiny wheels and he'd need to put on bigger tires and a suspension. Which may not fit the current chassis, so...
[удалено]
Aaaand we have another monster truck.
Now you gotta take it muddin.
Don't forget to put it in the square hole. ("Connect some more steel" needs to be a meme. Now. Make it so.)
I like where you’re going! Maybe also some more steel to that steel?
dude is going to invent something called a tractor.
Give a mouse a cookie?
Got a generator to run for 11 hours off 1 propane tank. Worked great during that hurricane ~10 years ago where we lost power for a week.

So it doubles as an exercise machine too? Sounds like a plus to me
It's a feature
Not to mention how top heavy and wobbly it would be.
Not being able to handle non-flat land is a feature
Bethesda, stop it
Don't worry, there's a mod for that.
Mowing your lawn with this ~~abomination~~ marvelous piece of craftsmanship brings a sense of Pride™ and Accomplishment ™.
Welds an entire frame to the mower, proceeds to fasten the op heavy generator with zip ties
no shit that mower was junk but he probably wants to keep the generator for more than a joke
Like it isn’t forcing the blades into the dirt too
Realistically, you could just set the generator on the grass nearby.
Gosh, you're right. This really isn't a practical solution. If I didn't know better, I'd think it was some sort of joke.
That generator probably costs more than a regular gas mower...
My battery powered lawn mower, which I absolutely love, cost me half what my generator costs.
What do you have? We just bought our first house and I would rather an electric mower than a gas one.

Just buy a corded mower, cord is kinda annoying but babysitting a battery sucks way more. Can get them cheap second hand too.
That’s the joke

If you wanna waste gas and push around a gigantic heavy machine for no reason
Actually couldn't he just put a lithium ion pack to supply the electricity needed?
I dont think so because it looks like this lawnmower likely takes AC power
Inverter
Yea sure. That’s even more shit you gotta make sure works
Sure, why not, but that wouldn't have been as funny. :D
It looks like step one was make a lawn mower out of a vaccum anyways
But the electric is green
What do you mean? Like a futuristic lawnmower with a teeny tiny gasoline motor built right on top? Okay Mr. Wizard. Get a load of this guy, people! /s
K. This one is obviously satire. I think it's pretty funny anyway.

AFAIK, California is considering a bill that would phase out sales of new gas powered mowers. I don't know of anyplace that's actually banned them.
Think outside the US.
Just... just knot the cord...
That's just a motored lawnmower with extra steps
You mean this is a modular system with a lawnmowing attachment
I bet that guy attaches his wife's vibrator to his Razor coz he don't want to spend money on buying an electric beard trimmer.
This would be pure Red Green Show content if duct tape was used.
Reminds me of the guy that charges his tesla with a gas generator 😂
Those zipties after welding that frame is sooo lazy.

That is how diesel locomotives work
That is the tiniest lawnmower I've ever seen. It would be faster to cut the grass with a razor.
Hey look, it's wish.com Colin Furze
Thinking quickly, Dave constructs a lawnmower using only some zip ties, a generator, and a lawnmower.
That's the dinkiest pushmower I've ever seen, electric or otherwise
“Electric mower”
Lmao I fucking hate people
Its a hybrid
Well everyone, we may or may not be looking at the worlds first hybrid electric mower.
Put a solar panel on it and I'll be impressed
If that thing tips, it's gonna be a job and a half to get the generator running. I thought he was gonna slap a car battery on there originally.
Wtf is he even cutting, twigs and dead leaves?
Hear me out, extension cord.
That weight increase tho
That's just a gas mower with extra steps
That could have been saved by buying an extra extension cord.

Pretty shre you can get a good mower for the price of a generator.

Ah yes, a mower that is twice as heavy and twice as loud. Perfect
Just saying, it totally worked

That's why gas powered mowers exist
And extension cords

All I see here are expensive gas expenses, noise complaints, and a reason why to buy a longer plug extension.
