I do over an acre of "stuff to mow" with a small electric (LOTSA LONG CORDS), No self propelled. Just sore back propelled.
Most of property is "wild"
Dont ask me about the two riding mowers & the three gas powered ones that are on strike!
But I love to be outdoors. It has been raining since Thursday. It wil be interesting when the grass finally dries out & is 3' tall!
My 3 rolls of 100' extension cord wouldn't be able to cover 20 acres. LOL! They do come in handy trimming the grass up against the house though. :)
I did the smartest thing of all - bought a patio home with very small front and back yards....then to top it off, hired a lawn care service to take care of it!!!! I love planting "stuff" - just can't stand mowing and edging....
