It has been raining everyday for the past two weeks and the lawn is getting pretty tall, I have an electric lawn mower and want to mow but not sure if mowing when the lawn is wet from the rain is a good idea.

It's not a good idea to mow a wet lawn, regardless of what kind of mower you use. When cutting a wet lawn, the grass is "torn" rather than cut and it encourages disease. Better to wait until it's dry. I know you want to get out and cut that tall lawn, but, it's best to wait. But, if you HAVE to cut it, it shouldn't hurt you because the electric source is wherever the plug is.

Craftsman Electric Lawn Mowers are quieter, more energy-efficient and less expensive alternatives to gas-powered mowers with providing ample power ...

There is a transformer box on my lawn. It's said on the transfermer box that "keep energized electrical equipment 10ft from one side and 3 ft for all other sideds" But will there really be any problem if an electric mower is approaching? Or is that warning just simply to make sure that if nothing approaches so nothing bad would happen in any case?

I suspect that the warning may be their to keep people from installing permanent equipment installations. Light fixtures, well water pumps, etc. I do not think anything should happen if you do not physically touch the box with the mower.

We received a electric lawn mower as a gift (it's a second hand mower) my husband has been using it for several months. The only way he can use it without cutting the electrical cord is pushing and pulling the mower with one hand while pulling, pushing, picking the cord with the other. I think it takes double the time cutting the lawn with this machine....is there a tip that you can give us? maybe something we don't know, like a retractable electrical cord...I don't know....something that you can use to be able to push the machine with both hands

BTW "The Man": 'Electric' would mean..... electricity. 'Battery-powered' would mean.... battery. DUH.

I have an electric; takes a few uses to get the hang of it. Most have a handle that 'flips' from one side to the other, so that the cord stays on the same side of the mower, and you don't have to walk backward, or drag the mower - both of which can be dangerous. Check your mower to see if it has a hinge at the bottom, where the handle attaches to the mower. If so, then you should also have a lever that will unlock the handle and allow you to flip it over to the other side.

Once you figure that out: start mowing closest to where you've plugged in, and walk away from it; make sure that where the cord plugs into the handle stays closest to the 'plug in' point at your house. Then, as you mow further away, the cord stays on the grass that's already been mowed.

I have an electric lawn mower engine that I would like to use as an engine for a gokart. Is this possible? Can I connect to batteries?

You don't say whether this engine is from a corded or cordless lawn mower.

Obviously, corded mowers run off of 120VAC (in the US). These cannot easily be converted for battery operation. The cost of the inverter you would need would scuttle the whole project. It would have to have VVVF (variable voltage, variable frequency) characteristics.

If you have an engine from a cordless mower, then yes, you can probably use this for a go-kart. These engines are typically on the order of a few horsepower, and will run well with a heavy-duty battery. You need to find the voltage of the engine, as they are not all the same. Some of the premium ones today run off 24VDC. The controller, while not rudimentary, is realizable for a project as yours.

I need a nice mower. Are the electric ones any good? I don't really want a gas one. I've noticed that there are corded mowers and also ones with rechargeable batteries. Our lawn and our yard isn't that big so I wouldn't really mind the corded ones, but how do they function in comparison to the gas mowers?

Any recommendations?
What kind do you have? I was looking at the corded black and decker one.

Ive been using electric mowers for over 25 yrs,black and decker best ones,i also have a homelite from home depot.Pros its quiet and requires no repairs,but a blade sharpening every couple yrs.Cons you have a cord and cant use when its raining.make sure you buy one with a button to adjust height on all 4 wheels at once.
