I hold on to my older equipment as long as parts are available for em. I've often fabricated or modified parts for my equipment. Ebay is a godsend for older OEM parts even if they're used. The older equipment, IMO, is much better than today's newer equipment.

My answer in no, and I will keep the gas-powered equipment running as long as possible, and parts are still available. Thanks for the video.

I don't have no plans of buying any battery rated stuff thank you for the video

Great video. I will stay with my 25 year old riding lawn mower and just keep maintaining it. Until like you said gasoline becomes too expensive. Thanks as always for sharing your videos. Cheers

Hello Sir, planning on keeping the gas powered equipment I have for as long as possible and pray gas powered equipment stays around. If EV is available, let othersm ake their informed choice!! I have lawn equipment that is over 40 years old and still working, including Snapper and Gravely. Thanks to your videos, they are doing just fine!! Thank you for everything including your poionted narrations!!!

Yep. My new innovative tool is going to be a gas powered string trimmer. My battery powered unit is nice for the average every week stuff around the house and trees, but I need one for the fence line. My car is a 2007 hybrid, which I am very happy with. My wife's car is a 2023 and we are taking it to the dealer next week to replace the touchscreen, after we had to replace the main computer, after we had to replace the starter. I'll stay with my car thanks.

I bought a battery string trimmer, mostly for my wife since she does not want to use the big Husqvarna I use. After a year it started slowing and smelled of melting plastic. I discovered the bearing at the trimmer head had seized up. I went to Black & Decker parts to find out the replacement part is no longer available. So far the only battery tool that the battery outlasted the too itself! I am a huge fan of cordless shop tools, but useless for garden equipment.

All well said! Reminds me of oil injectors on Yamaha Waverunners of the 90s. Trouble-free, right? No one has to be familiar with ratios for mixing fuel and oil. lol

I will stay with my gas equipment 🙏👍🙏👍

We are hearing these issues with EV especially in the cold 🥶 Remembering most are fueled by outdated coal fire stations not solar or wind.😊 No battery powered here😊

If an electric future is inevitable, go with a commercial variant. It may cost more but it should be designed with maintainability in mind. So many of the models sold in big box stores are disposable; all you can buy is wheels, blades, and batteries.

All well said my friend.

Best channel ever ....

Very well said, the only battery powered tool I may buy is a string trimmer, however one that uses the same batteries as my drill and other tools because it is a name I already use and trust and currently already have the batteries it wouldn't be that expensive for me especially if the tool comes with another battery however i am in no rush as my current string trimmer is about 6+ years old and has goven me zero issues thus far

Plan on using a 1992 John Deere SB14 I came across and got running.

i seen a lot of new gas mowers in all the stores and hardly any electric ones or even battery operated ones not buying anything new for the next 15 to 20 years all my lawn and house stuff is all in good working order i keep it that way my rider mower is 30 years old and runs like brand new my push mower is 20 years old and runs like the day i bought it and my weed eater is 25 years old and works just fine

I will stick with quality tried and true designs. Less chances of things going south when I need the equipment the most.

I'll keep my Briggs kicking along as long as i can!!! Not put any of them Batteries in my garage or basement.....dont trust them bursting into flames..

Interesting fuel line (looks like a garden hose)?

Went to Walmart and browsed the lawnmowers, They no longer sell gas mowers anymore and the battery ones are all plastic. Hit one big rock and it's history. I wonder which one will last longer, the battery or the mower?

The better the technology the dumber and lazier we become. The calculator is a great example.

I’ve bought a Toro electric snoblower, was impressed with performance so far. Bought the blower which is ok for my use and trimmer haven’t tried yet but I’m sure it will be fine. Homeowners I think will get along with electric equipment, but commercial guys I don’t know?

This year, like most, will just be purchasing the parts and materials necessary to service and repair the aging equipment that I already have. Hopefully that will be minimal. So, with switching to electric power, spring start up will go from cleaning, rebuilding, or replacing fuel system parts damaged from sitting in ethanol over the winter to replacing failed batteries that cold temperatures, lack of charging or overcharging has ruined? People must learn to realize that there are no perfect, fits all solutions in life. No matter what, you are just swapping problems. The best you can hope for is a wide variety of solutions to solve the particular issue you’re having, which seems to be exactly what we will not be given!

Nope! Don’t want that battery garbage! Keeping my 14 year old Troy-bilt and my 25 year old husqvarna mowers, both with B&S engines that are ran dry for storage every year, along with fresh oil changes

No i love mij lawnmower honda

Can anyone help me about this issue of retrofitting brake cables and throttle cables to engines and mounting them in the handle of lawnmowers. How do you determine required length? It's extremely difficult as there has to be proper tension but no too much or the cable may break. Thanks ?

Hey bro what's up? I believe that most of the newer technologies are quite amazing but the don't last as long as old or low tech equipment.

Yeah I heard about robotic Vacuums and lawnmowers. Yeah I have seen one model of Robotic lawnmower and that sucker was well over $2000 bucks. Yeah unlike robotic Vacuums that have been out for quite a while now robotic lawnmowers are a still a new concept. I also like the idea of robotic lawnmowers. Ever since I watched the move Honey I Shrunk the Kids. I always wanted a remote control/radio controlled lawnmower because I thought that was such a cool concept. Yeah EV are becoming popular and even my oldest Sister owns an EV and it's very nice but it's not my cup of tea. In terms of battery operated Riding mowers yeah they are very expensive they cost more than a gasoline powered one. With how much mowing commercial companies do I can't see battery operated riding mowers being used because if you don't have enough batteries for the job then you will be losing money because time is money. The same thing applies with normal consumers the price of a battery operated riding mower is so out of their price range that they will purchase a gasoline powered one. One time I compared and contrast the price of the a battery powered riding mower vs a gasoline powered one and the battery operated one is at least 2x the price of the gasoline powered one. I am sure that at some point down the road that Battery operated riding mowers will become more affordable just like their push counter parts are right now vs gasoline. In terms of push mowers I made the switch to battery and so far it has worked great. Yeah battery operated equipment does NOT do well in the cold weather back during like late October into November we were mulching leaves with our battery operated mower and it didn't last as long as it did in the warm weather of the Spring or Summer. My dad was using battery operated leaf blower to help blow snow off our cars to clean them off due to the snow being dry and powdery which worked great however the leaf blower didn't last as long in the cold weather. The only thing innovative that for the next mowing season that me and my family are going to get is another battery operated mower.

What kind of cleaner do you use

Battery stuff has been pushed WAY too hard and fast with no or way too little info. I know from past and current experience! No more info that from the start. NONE! I just hope the info channels open up and US consumers can get shop manuals for better maintenance and understanding of what we spend an ABSURD price to obtain. I looked again last night and 9/10ths of the parts still have no pictures/illustrations to explain what they even are. Who can guess from just a number and no picture? I still have our gas jobs for spares too. And this winter is a prime example of how all this electric stuff holds up (vehicles) in adverse situations. We still have a heater under our zero turn. Are there any other ways for a consumer to keep a battery from freezing as far as yard equipment goes from the factory beside the brand that has 6 removable individual batteries with 3 double chargers that also fit hand tools? I can't and won't take a 56 volt 3000 Ah battery out, bring it inside and according to the owners manual, take it back outside, hook it back up to the mower to charge it once a month, THEN bring it back inside. For as much as that mower costed and still has money coming into it in rechargings and whatnot, I think we deserve more/better/ANY support than what we're getting. BUT this is just me and I'm looking at the naked truth as far as I can see. 2 and 2 is still 4 here. Blessings!

I will keep my gas powered equipment. No way i would to go battery on lawn equipment

My dads echo weed trimmer wont run when full of gas and it leaks gas a little what should I do?

I'm not buying anything new this mowing season, im staying with my vintage lawn equipment. My gas powered lawn tools will out perform the battery powered junk thats made today!!!! Just my opinion tho.

I've adopted a contrarian approach, though I don't oppose GENUINE innovation. That is, I have a Murray with a B&S Quantum 5 HP, self-propelled mower that's now33+ years old and still runs GREAT [Just changed the oil again yesterday]. Long tale short, I got INCREDIBLE deals on 2 Honda mowers over the intervening years that I bought because I couldn't pass the deals up at the time. I rotate the mowers. Just as I was going to donate the Murray, the IDIOTS running California outlawed ICE yard equipment, so I'll be KEEPING ALL 3 just to avoid the battery nonsense(!) Like others, I use cordless tools, but EVs and the battery yard equipment are BOTH "not ready for prime time" yet. The cost of, say, Stihl battery-powered tools is ridiculous and may gardeners cannot afford it. California's answer? The politicians plan to give away taxpayer money to "help them" buy replacement equipment! Politicians just cannot stay out of free markets....

I’ve seen people review some of those robotic mowers and honestly they are a complete joke. They don’t use a conventional mower blade like you’d expect, instead they use this circular saw blade which does okay when the grass is short, but completely fails to cut down taller and tougher grass. Second, the mowers just bumble around randomly and don’t follow any kind of striping pattern, so it just leaves messy lines all over the grass when it’s done. There is no point in owning one because the price you’ll pay for it, you could just hire a mowing company for several years. It also should be noted that these things aren’t built very well so they’re very likely to experience a break down within the first two years of ownership.

gonna run my old junk till they outlaw gas , then fence my place and buy a cow . that is , if they haven't outlawed cows by then .

The video recycle master strikes again!!

I’m staying with gasoline

Electric lawnmowers are total junk
