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.

I am thinking about buying a lawn mower, electric or gas, does anyone has any experience on the different benefits you can get from either one?, would also like to know what are good brands.
By the way , I do have a small front and back yard.

Another option is a manual mower. I've been using one for a few years on a small .25 acre lot. It takes me about 45 minutes to do my lawn. The only drawbacks are it doesn't cut tall or wet grass very well. If you cut weekly - or sometimes more - it does quite well.

You don't have to worry about gas or batteries or cords. Just pull it out and start mowing. Best of all, it's quiet.

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?

Go-kart--yes, batteries--no. A bumper-car rink like situation may work. A slot-car track may work as well. Might even try a roller-coaster ride. The idea is that you must keep 110a.c. going to that motor for it to perform right. Trolley cars are my final thought-(with overhead supply lines).
