[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 3587409, member: 3099"] I saw a Kobalt 40V (NON-self propelled) the other day for $300 new at Lowes. That's what I have and it will have no problem mowing a normal residential lot front and back on a 5 amp battery. [B]ETA: No bagging or stopping, stopping and starting a lot eats the battery up faster than mowing and I don't bag grass, that sh*ts for the birds.[/B] I just did it and it was wet and too dang tall. Surprised me as I only bought it to do the spots my ZTR won't get to. Just bought the weedeater to match it so I now have a 4 amp battery to go with it. It's really nice to just pop a battery in and go. I weedeated, edged, mowed and used the blower on the front AND back with less than 9 amps of battery when it was way too wet to get the ZTR out. I've heard that Lowes offers very deep discounts on the 80V stuff near the end of the season. If you can milk it that long it might be a good plan. [/QUOTE]
