I don’t know if that’s “full woke”. I have all battery powered yard tools (Ego) and tools for around the house. Chainsaw, blower, trimmer, hedger, drills, sanders, etc-—they work better, are more convenient and I can do yard work at 6AM. For me, that is the free market....my choice.
"It is standard procedure to run these machines 10 to 12 days straight, 24 hours a day at peak harvest time"
It's "full woke" ... or maybe "Full genocide by engineered famine", as pioneered by by Soviet Russia in Ukraine, about 100 years ago.
Home power tools are nothing like industrial grade/sized machinery.
The key points are that you had choices and you yourself made those choices based on your own self-interest.
Screw them. Lots of other manufacturers out there.
anything you plug into a socket is an appliance.
Can you run them 24 hours a day for three weeks straight harvesting millions of dollars of corn that must be harvested in a specific window of time or you lose millions of dollars?
Whether you trim your hedges at 9:00 AM or 2:00 PM, doesn’t matter. However you have to harvest corn when it is right to get the highest price. EV’s on a farm just don’t work.
Well you play with your little kiddie tool set at your house all you want... Step into a man’s world with heavey equipment, just go over and sit down and watch...
I remember talking to a friend who provided maintenance for machinery in huge mining operations deep within the Earth. He explained to me the reason he paid so much for tools, as opposed to using Craftsman tools at a low price with a 100% guarantee.
He told me that if a tool broke on the job, that it would cost thousands and thousands of dollars in down time. So he paid a fortune for tools that almost never broke.
Before I had this conversation, I was ignorant, just as your post demonstrates that you are ignorant. But perhaps no longer.
You can’t swap out the batteries from one of those massive combines like you can with your little Egos.
If you had a business that depended upon these things working for hours every day, I kinda doubt it would be a choice you would make.
This article details the impracticality of battery power for heavy equipment that must run 12-15 hours a day, if not 24 hours every day.
