How about one of those old “reel-type” mowers that weighed 100 pounds?
I do like my Greenworks weedwhacker.
That reminds me. Time to mow my lawn twice a week even of it does not need it.
I’m fully expecting some sort of ban eventually here in the People’s Republic of Oregon. Plan to collect another set of gas powered tools and put them away for safekeeping. Figure I have about 15 working years left, hopefully that’ll do it. We do have a couple of battery operated tools, but with 20 wooded acres, gasoline power is usually the answer.
I believe that they already banned the sale of them in Calicommi.

Takes away the fun of knowing you were annoying your neighbors when you mowed at 7 in the morning.
It is getting to the point that it is easier and cheaper to just get rid of the liberals.
Why are they so anti-Latino????
My yard is far too big for a battery driven lawn mower, 3 acres to cut which takes me 4 hrs. That being said my wife loves to trim and uses a Ryobi battery trimmer to trim around the house and it works out fine.
The green fascist will soon have the entire country looking like national parks, over grown, snake infested messes.
When I moved into my current domicile some 20- years ago, I purchased a corded electric lawn mower, a corded electric edge trimmer, a corded electric leaf blower, and a corded electric weed trimmer. I have not used any gasoline motor for lawn care in all that time.
Nor would I go to battery-powered “cordless” lawn tools.
Still have my “Lawnboy Marine” from 1968. It was my parent’s lawn mower. Hardly weighs a thing. Runs like a champ. I really have mostly garden landscapes on a large scale and only use it on a tiny patch of turf out front near the sidewalk.
I spent $2K extra for electric riding mower vs a comparable gas powered one. But I was spending about $350/year on gas, oil change, and air filter change for the riding mower, especially given that I was religiously using ethanol free gas. So in six years the gas savings will offset the extra for the mower (five years if gas prices go up even with just a reasonable 3% inflation rate).
But again, that works well only with my situation (not 3 acres, in which case I would have had to buy extra battery packs and make it not cost effective). It also wouldn't work as well if I had to cut a lot on steep inclines (which uses more battery power to maintain straight lines). If the Dims would let us have a free market each one of us could see what's right for our situation and make our own choices like grown adults.
I use to live about a 1/2 mile from that location.
Surprisingly quiet while being right next to the beltway and toll rd
It’s NOT a liberal newspaper, it’s the very definition of fascism, a joining of tyrannical govt and corporate. Fascist newspaper.
Liberal implies live and let live, something they do NOT accept.
Furnaces, stoves, air conditioners

I think they’re really aiming for the 9th, just for starters.
Just buy a dozen sheep. At least you can shear them to make a coat after the electricity goes out.
Put a spinning wheel on your wifes Christmas list.
They’ll take my DR high wheel teimmer from my cold dead hands...
