Thank you very much Craig! We appreciate you noticing.

That's a very cool idea. Thank you!

Check out our newer setups! Thanks for watching.

Welcome Joe. That's great to hear. There are so many advantages.

Thank you for watching! Did you mean "how to land customers"? Not sure it that was a misprint

That would be a great idea. Not everyone needs a battery to charge in 30 minutes and being able to extend it's life would be great. Thank you for commenting.

How would I make this work with my mower?

@@QuietLawn you would have to consult some one who knows a lot about battery arrays, and the best way to charge them. Some arrangements of cells can handle fast charging better than others. The mower might be totally fine to fast charge, I just do it with my ego batteries because I was told it was the proper thing to do... less heat less stress, but the mower might be different and accept it better. also storing them at a proper temperature can help as well www.groovypost.com/howto/store-lithium-ion-laptop-battery/

Hey..Is the inverter you use a regular or pure sine inverter?

@@QuietLawn Not sure on the large mower, but on the Ego batteries, the smaller black chargers are normal, and the larger ones are high speed. Black ones are either 200 or 320W, larger one is like 400 or 450. It would also help with not overloading circuit. You should be able to get 5 200W chargers on one circuit no problem, looks like you have a 12GA extension cord.

I'm not sure to be honest. It depends on how much the truck is running, inverter size, how much you're using stuff, etc.

Hey Brent, either of those are good. Milwaukee and Makita are also making some great tools too and Makita has the longest warranty.

@@QuietLawn thanks. My biggest problem with Ryobi is with the batteries. I am fixing a lot of the 18v One+ batteries. The 40v are pretty good. I haven’t made a move away from Ryobi since I have a board with 3 chargers for each level (18v & 40v) and probably 6 40v & 6 18v. As far as batteries go, it is always good to one charged up and keep going. I don’t put them on the charger when I initially take them off to cool off. All the best. I wish you all the success in SC. We live in Texas and used to have a son & his wife in Greenville/Anderson.

@@brentjohnson6654 oh, very nice. Thank you very much and best of luck to you in Texas as well.

@@QuietLawn sorry to bother you again. You are so nice to respond to us viewers. I am still pondering the EGO for a string trimmer replacement and also a possible chain saw. I really like the power of the 56v battery and the tool-less chain tension. My Ryobi pole saw takes a lot of unscrewing to tighten the chain. If I were to get a string trimmer I would still have my 21” Ryobi push mower and like I said the battery problems I have are more in the 18v line than the 40v line. So with that in mind, can you tell me how you decided to go with EGO when you started? The other tools you mentioned above like Milwaukee and Makita sounds good at the tool level. What I am asking is if you were to do it over would you still go with EGO? Thanks again for your responses. Who knows, next time I am in SC, I will buy you a coffee.

What's sketchy about it?

Yes, the mowers and handheld equipment we currently use is fine to get wet some

Hey Tony, We had some old backpack batteries from the original Mean Green handheld equipment we started with. It's about the same result. We're looking at a better option for next year which will probably mean a small solar setup or something on each vehicle.

Well, if you live where the source of electricity is the flow of water, then you've completely eliminated the burning of fossil fuels. Hopefully you understand that the Chattanooga River provides a large amount of electricity in the area where this guy lives. Also, it seems unnecessary to say this, but simply using electricity doesn't harm nature where burning gas does.

Even if electricity source is non renewable, it is more efficient to use electric tools than gas engines. Coal or natural gas plants are around 40-60% efficient. Gas engines 25-35%.

Ultimately, the customer is the one you need to impress. If you provide services that keep noise pollution, air pollution, and odors off the customers property then you’re creating an edge over your competitors.

I don't have a good way to track it, so I'm really not sure. But, I would guess everything we have adds an average of $50 per month to our electric bill

@@QuietLawn That's still cheaper than gas and oil together plus maintenance required. Cheers!!!

@@vanmai2542 absolutely. Thank you

We use the 7.5s on our string trimmers and 5s on the blowers and edger. You can use any size you like. You'll just need extra batteries.

Hey I want to thank you for getting back to me on all my questions I appreciate it!

Of course. You have to start somewhere

I still prefer Ego, even with the battery problems. But, Husqvarna is also very good.

It depends, but the upfront costs are totally 50-100% more for the equipment.

The most reliable way is to have enough batteries to get through the day. Other options are solar like you said or a battery bank and inverter. You can see what we use on our other videos. Good luck.

@@QuietLawn Thank you!

Because then it's gas powered again.

@@pinkiepie1656 LOL

Hmmm. I'm not sure. We don't use gas. But, some models might not due well being tipped and the fuel might get into the carburetor or air filter

I don't know. Less than $30 a month

Someone asked a similar question above. Apparently where this gentleman lives most of the power is hydro.

Agreed

You've already became a keyboard warrior. Why not add electrician to the list.

@@QuietLawn 😂 well played.

No, why?

@@QuietLawn just wondering if you wanted an electric truck or if you like gas/diesel trucks

@@lukemiller5529 we actually switched to Priuses if you want to check out our recent videos. But, an electric vehicle would be great one day once the cost makes sense.

Nice! Good luck with it.

@@QuietLawn oh it works great it's the new one with the double blades and is switchable or whatever first mow was great

You've bought and used both, so you know this to be true?

@@QuietLawn no I have not I am a experience landscaper of 36 years, and I recently got a estimate on two battery operated leaf blowers and the cost of one was a total of$ 3100.00 with the cost of the blower the extra batteries would need charger or chargers since the charger only can charge one battery at at time, and the cost of the cheaper one was $2100.00. and i am not even counting on the cost of upgrade I would have to do to get the set you have. Do not get me wrong I don't care how you run you business. This not a affordable to most if not all landscapers And if this gas power ban on lawn equipment keeps going the way it going to destroy this industry and also many lives and families.

@@breandiesel1 Hey Joe, what blowers were you getting estimates for? We run Ego handheld blowers with 2 batteries for our mowing crews and that's only $600. As far as destroying our industry, I think that has much more to do with the thousands of people who get into this business that know nothing about running a business, pricing their work, etc. They undercut everyone and drive the market down on their way to going out of business. That's the biggest problem our industry faces and why many people can't afford better equipment. They're not charging enough. Regardless of how you or I feel about battery equipment, it's going to replace gas and probably within the next ten years. It's just going to happen. We might as well embrace it.

@@QuietLawn stihl 200, green works. I would like to know what you paid for all of your equipment and set up . And I would like to add that the power equipment business is in total agreement with me on this and was the one who gave me this information so are every landscape business in my state. I agree battery equipment will replace gas power. my problem is it is be forced on us when it is still not up to par with gas power in price and power. In my state a bill has been proposed to ban the sale and use of gas powered leaf blower 2 and 4 stroke engines. I have a billy goat stander blower that I will not be able to use if this bill gets passed. And I do not see one available in battery operated. And if there is one it will more than likely be very expensive. I was at a trade show about 3 to 4 years ago and I saw a battery stander lawn mower 48 inch cut do not remember the company and the mower went for $20,000 to $25,000 verse a gas poweerd stander which went for $10,000 to $11,000.
