[@casonhayes3900]

@Kian Zechariah Yea, I've been using flixzone} for since december myself :)

[@flch95]

There’s a tipping point where it doesn’t make sense. A gas trimmer is $200 a battery trimmer is $200. Where it no longer makes sense is the mowers. A gas push/self propelled mower is $350 (Toro). A battery powered one is $600 and the battery alone is $250 in most cases. For me, gas mower and battery everything else.

[@Bladesofgrasslawncare]

Thanks for sharing!

[@shortyorc121]

Also ask yourself what is the life cycle of the battery before they start dropping in run time and eventually fail. Will you spend that amount of money on gas in that time frame for before you have to buy another expensive battery. I dunno I just don't see it as a good long term investment. Specially in the professional world.

[@davidsenter8002]

A commercial grade, gas, self propelled mower is not even close to 350. Mine was 1300.

[@flch95]

@@davidsenter8002 I was talking residential.

[@cookiemonster3979]

I totally agree with you on that point. Battery mowers are still too expensive and have to run them on a higher amp battery that is also way over priced

[@mithgo_outdoor]

Johnny, thanks for this. I value your opinion 100%. I have three pieces currently that are battery powered, but never kept them on our trailer. After watching this video and hearing you speak from the heart I think I'm going to give it a whirl.

Johnny, you were very thorough explaining the pros& cons of battery power vs. gas powered equipment. You’re right saying it’s up to the individual, geographic location,financial ability,& business model. Glad you are able to use this equipment,& be as efficient as possible. Great video, I’m sure you answered many questions for the community. Enjoy your weekend.💯❤️👍🏾✊🏾✝️🙏🏾😀🇺🇸

[@Bladesofgrasslawncare]

I enjoy sharing my personal experience to assist others in their decision making process, thanks!

[@JasonJayJJ1]

I highly recommend putting speed-feed heads on electric trimmers. Also, since electric trimmers don't have the power as gas trimmers do, the quality of string is even more important so you're cutting through thick grass efficiently and not double-passing over the same areas. A twisted 0.80 is good along such as MaxPower brand or with 0.80 Oregon.

[@Bladesofgrasslawncare]

Thanks for sharing!

[@maxclement1502]

Completely agree with everything said in the video. Trimmers and weed whackers are great and the small handheld blowers. I have used battery from the start. I could listen to you talk for hours. Have a great day Jonny

In Australia we have a brand sold by a big name hardware shop. The battery's fit everything from sprayers, to hedge trimmers, grinders, lawnmowers. The skins are normally under 100 bucks. I use the blower and Hedge trimmer and they're great. Even made a charge station on the trailer.

Great video Johnny....I am loving the battery powered trimmer...I bought one of the Ryobi trimmer...just one of the small home owners trimmer from the home depot...it came with one battery...then I bought two more as back up...so far I am only used one and half battery....so I have enough power to last for the day...i don t do much trimming this time of the year...

[@rainbowspringsirrigation1519]

Good honest review. I went with the ego mower , weed Wacker, blower. I take care of 3 small lawns on my block. It does a decent job with the mower but gas is better. I LIKE the weed wacker and blower. The blower is better than my small Stihl gas blower so it depends on your previous equipment as to whether it will have more or less power. For small houses and homeowners i think battery is better. No gas, no mix gas, no pull starting, light. No gas smell , no carburetors to rebuild

Great video. I myself have been using the steel battery equipment for two years now. What I did was, I put solar panels on the top of my trailer - I installed two golf cart batteries inside the trailer with a charge controller and an inverter. now I can charge up while I am out and about.

I do DIY yard work and went all electric. Bit the bullet on an expensive Milwaukee mower after being satisfied with their weed eater, edger attachment, and dual battery leaf blower, and being fed up with my roommate’s Troy bilt mower.

I only need these tools for home use and my yard isn't all that huge. Bout half a football field maybe. I switched to Ego mower, trimmer, and blower. I love them. I don't have to worry about seasonal maintenance ...... don't have to worry about getting motors running again..... or storing gas and oils ... changing fluids..... electric is WAYYY quieter... and the tools are much lighter. For the home gamer, electric is definitely a consideration. EDIT: I replied as I began this video expecting it to knock electric tools ...... but I agree with everything this guy said. Great video.

Overall good video John I will say for myself I'm still 95% gas the only battery thing that I have is a hedge trimmer but you made a good point be willing to try different things

[@ABetterLifeInc]

I have a local Stihl dealer and staying with them. I’ve got the BR 700 blower and 131R Kombi system with nearly all attachments. Been using this stuff almost a year and love it. Last week decided to go into lawn care next year. Really enjoy working outside and yard work. Plus with everything going on in the world. Seemed like a smarter choice. My yard consists of 3.6 acres and out of the city limits. So field grass and wooded areas are common. Western Kentucky to be exact. First year I’m definitely sticking with gas powered because I’m worried about battery life. Maybe if it goes well and get clients located in the city. I’ll look more into going electric. I love the lighter weight and quieter operation though. Just like electric mowers. Great idea but just too expensive and if you have to charge that during the day and get back to work. You can forget it. My mower is a Bobcat Pro 7000 61 inch. Thanks for the honest review. I’ve watched your videos going on a year now. Didn’t know I wasn’t subscribed. I’ll fix that now. By the way. I’m an Army veteran too from 2005-2015.

Have taken it apart every thing is clean line is not tangled but the bump nob is very stiff even tried a little lubricant. So this video was very helpful on helping me decide next step which will most likely be a gas powered trimmer. Thank you.

[@markbrisec3972]

I agree 100%. And although the financial level of my landscaping business doesn't allow me to buy and own 90% of the equipment from your trailer, I have also realized that I still need my gas Husky trimmer for more demanding jobs. Of course, gas powered mowers will remain the staple for professionals for a few more years for sure. I have managed to transfer to battery powered hedge trimmer and a hand held blower from Makita since they are priced much better than Husqvarna. But who knows what the next season brings to the table. New Honda HRX 217 is what I'm eyeing now... By the way, one question.. Where did you get all those racks and holders for various equipment? I know one can buy trimmer racks everywhere but I'm more interested in those holding your blowers and hedge trimmers securely to the wall.. Thanks...

[@eliteyardservices3634]

We got the opportunity to demo those Husquavana battery units & I must admit they did work great for our business. They are very expensive which is why we haven’t made any purchases yet . But we definitely want the hedge trimmer ,string trimmer & blower . Our goal is to use battery equipment for 2021 and use gas as a back up

Late last year and early this year we tried battery equipment, and during the slow season they worked ok for the most part. But when the busy season started they weren't enough, and went back to the gas equipment. Also the battery edger worked fine in few spots, but in most places it didn't have enough torque and wasn't working. But the gas edger worked like it was nothing. Most of the grass at the college is St. Augustine and Bermuda, and some other kinds mixed here and there. The battery equipment are Makita, in case your wondering, the gas equipment are Stihl. To me battery equipment still has a long way to go to catch up to gas equipment.

Great video, little story i first started 6 years ago trying to do a fully battery operated company back then there was sealed lead acid batteries and ego had just come out we we used neuton mowers then we got a couple ego products, the equipment did the job but could not handle the abuse of commercial, so I closed down shop. After my son was born I restarted a new lawn care company use gas. Obviously night and day difference now that tech has finally caught up I started adding/ replacing a couple of my gas stuff with stihl ap line. As you said it’s not great for tasks ie blower but that being said it’s great to have lower operating costs again and less maintenance costs with battery equipment (I purchased my stihl ap equipment used) As a FYI for everyone reading this toro is releasing the 60 volt commercial HD model 22282 if you want to check it out. I can tell you it’s everything the same as the gas example the blade deck handles the only thing that looks to be different is the motor obviously. I’m glad we have companies pushing the technology needed to help off set costs (over time) for us to run our businesses. Again Awsome video just thought I share my story in advance sorry for crappy grammar spelling.

I'm on the battery tool journey. I've got an EGO strimmer. My god! It's good. I'm slowly going to be buying in to it further. A long reach hedge trimmer, pole saw and lawn edger are on my wish list. But as you say. There expensive !! So slowly does it. I have a Dewalt battery blower which is good for dry grass. I also have a stihl BR600 blower for the heavier stuff. Since purchasing my EGO strimmer I've not used my Honda 4 stroke strimmer at all. The only thing I'd say is, I don't think battery is quite there yet in terms of power and run time for a commercial mower. So I use my Weibang shaft drive petrol mower all the time for grass cutting.

I want to be environmentally friendly, and not add to the pollution so on and so on. I have noticed that some battery powered equipment tend to be a little expensive but perhaps buying them while they're on sale might help. My one question I want to ask is this....do you personally store your riding mowers with gas in them over the winter. I purchased a new Husqvarna yard tractor over the summer and I love it. I stored my Toro walk behind mower last year over the winter by putting Stable fuel stabilizer in the tank. It started early this spring with the first pull of the string and no issues at all during the summer. Can I do the same with my new Husqvarna ? I know I probably should consult the manufacturer !!!

When operating a lawn care service you can't be too quite. Especially if your properties are clustered together and you are doing one after the other. Or if you mow on Sundays like I do, or if you tend to mow late in the day or early in the morning. I like some of the conveniences of battery powered equipment, but the main focus for me is the noise level. Right now, all of my equipment is battery powered except for my mower (21" push mower). I am going to get a battery powered mower soon. For me, it is all about keeping the noise down as much as possible. If you plan things properly, you won't run out of battery. I charge up my extra batteries with the customer's outside outlets while I am mowing. And I plan to setup a charging system in my vehicle that will charge up my batteries while I drive or even if I'm parked. I imagine the quality and price of battery equipment has improved a little since this video was made.
