Neuton mower

[MaKettle]

Due to a shoulder injury, I can no longer manage a pull start, so have been replacing all of the maintenance toys with electric. Does anyone have a Neutron mower? The ads look simply delicious, but then, ads generally do.

what's a neutron mower? Is that a brand name for an electric lawn mower?

It would seem to me that pushing that mower with its heavy battery would be a real pain in the shoulder. How about an electric start, self propelled gas mower. When I mowed grass for a living 35 years ago, Lawn Boy was our favorite brand because they were lighter than say Toro.

The Neuton is the one we are planning on getting in the spring. Dh has a crushed right elbow, and needs it a little easier, as he is getting older.

Weight with battery is 48 lbs.

So, the picture in the ad of the slender lady holding the machine off the ground with one hand must be of a batteryless machine. At 48 lbs, it is lighter than my old B & D model that is no longer available (the new rechargeable is 85#). And yes, shoving 50 # up the hill of the orchard is a real challenge, but plan to fence it in and turn the sheep in there. So the Neutron will be used mainly for mowing garden paths, trim, and such. I like the idea of getting an extra battery. Was hoping to find someone who had one and vouch for dependency and long life.

Just got a Stihl chain saw with the "Easy 2 Start". Amazing. See the web site. Not all tools available.
