[Brian d marge]

I mow mine once a month ... if it needs it or not.

come the revolution, "one man went to mow" ...........and all he may produce(d) is/will be /were ruthlessly crushed by the new world order

there wasn’t any fanfare or trial , he was just executed for "just the thought of mowing" his ( anti new world order show of decadence ) lawn


and as penance to the state his entire family were forced to construct;-

Two horses "the population seems to be growing when I'm not looking" an one bottem less pit called a goat.
So no problems with lawn mowers at my place,,,,wear boots but.

FWIW I have an electric mower. Only have 25m2 of lawn in total - but the cord is still a PITA.

We to have electric. But our one has a battery. No cord.

Works well as long as the grass is under an inch tall.

These lawn mowers are noisey and interupt my sleep in at 11am! Lawn mowers are usually between 90 to 110 decibels! Thats 25 decibels highers than motorsport is allowed to be! And right next door. They can be heard 4 or 5 times a week!

Thats like living in Westmere and moaning about Western Springs speedway......

But the springs benefits aucklands economy and entertains thousands of people per week, no one likes mowing the lawns and it doesn't bring money to NZ.

I've been using an electric mower for the last couple of years - $80, twice as powerful as a petrol one. 96db....and my petrol mower says 76db. Guess which one is Chinese.....

Just ban lawns. Maybe all lawns should be converted to speedway tracks?

[haydes55]

We had a (at the time modern) masport and the lawns half cut (not drunk, we had cut half of the grass). We ran out of gas. Option 1 go to the gas station around the corner. Option 2 use the avgas from our speedway bikes.

The mower never ran right again, never had constant revs and was substantially louder.

So no, avgas won't let you mow the lawns quicker but it sure annoys neighbours!

Our back lawn to this day hasn't grown grass. About 6 years ago my older brothers birthday party we had a friends 50cc scooter with a sidechair! Everyone was going around our lawn marked by a washing machine in one corner and a cone for the other corner. We ripped all the grass off then decided the track needed watering, out came the hose and the lawn ended up splattered over the house. The scooter seized at some stage (not surprising given the thrashing it received), the house had to be water blasted and everyone reading this just called my family bogans

I should get Avgas round to cut my lawns, get him off KB for a bit.

Got a old Victa 2 smoke mower 25yrs old run it on old race fuel with a mixture of 50/1 synthetic oil , a hole in the muffler chunks outta the skirts makes a lovely sound and smells devine , same could be said of chainsaws/brush cutters to noisy for city's.
