Professional landscapers are reluctant to plug into electric mowers due to cost

Austin Acocella, co-owner of Acocella Landscaping in Westchester County, N.Y., is holding onto his gas-powered mowers. He says electric ride-ons are too expensive for him to switch right now. Matthew Schuerman hide caption

Austin Acocella, co-owner of Acocella Landscaping in Westchester County, N.Y., is holding onto his gas-powered mowers. He says electric ride-ons are too expensive for him to switch right now.

SCARSDALE, N.Y. — Electric lawn mowers have taken the U.S. consumer market by storm over the past few years. And they’ve done so quietly — about 20 decibels more quietly in some cases.

Once restricted to lawns no larger than the length of an extension cord, mowers on the market today run on lithium ion batteries that can last 45 minutes or more without charging and cost about as much as gas-powered versions. And in 2021, according to market research company FactMR, electric lawn mowers made up 37% of all sales.

But professional landscapers, who have to run their machines all day, day after day, have yet to join the trend in large numbers. Electric heavy-duty ride-on mowers make up just 11% of the total market for all heavy-duty ride-on mowers.

For homeowners, I feel like it’s great, said Austin Acocella, co-owner of Acocella Landscaping in Scarsdale, N.Y. The battery just doesn’t last long, especially for the stuff that I do.

He has checked out commercial-grade mowers with batteries that can last six or more hours, but hasn’t wanted to pay the upfront costs. A 52-inch-wide ride-on model, the Rival from Mean Green Mowers, starts at nearly 30,000. That is more than three times a comparable gas-powered machine – though the manufacturer says the customer will break even given significantly lower operation and maintenance costs.

In the future I would love to buy them, but right at this second, I just can’t because of inflation and just everything that’s going on, Acocella says. I just can’t swing it yet.

Acocella and his employees began using hand-held electric devices – leaf blowers, weed whackers and hedge trimmers – last year when one of his clients, the town of Larchmont, required it. He’s begun to use them on other properties as well because they are lighter, much quieter, and don’t emit pollutants. But with the exception of the hedge trimmer, he says, they need frequent battery changes and are not as powerful.

I need something that’s going to last long or something that’s easy, Austin says. Like I have a gas can, it’s on a truck that I just fuel up and I go. How many batteries do I need to have in order to get through the day?

Power, which sells the products, demonstrated the Rival model in a Port Chester, N.Y., park recently. Matthew Schuerman hide caption

Bans on gas-powered gear

Yet landscapers are being pressured to change – sometimes by clients and sometimes by governments. Last fall, the California Legislature passed a law requiring that all new landscaping equipment sold in the state be emissions-free beginning Jan. 1, 2024.

The state and national landscaping associations objected, arguing that electric equipment wasn’t advanced enough to operate for long periods of time, and in some cases, did not work as well as gas equipment. As proof, they cited a study from the California State University at Fullerton to show that zero emissions equipment hadn’t caught on among professionals. The study found that less than 6% of equipment used by landscapers were zero-emissions, compared to more than 50% of the gear used by homeowners.

But Assemblymember Marc Berman, the bill’s author, disputes the industry’s characterization of zero-emissions equipment.

This equipment is ready today, said Berman, a Democrat from Palo Alto. There are at least eight brands that produce zero emission equipment in each major equipment category for commercial equipment.

After that bill was passed, New York State Sen. Pete Harckham introduced a similar bill in Albany. Though it did not pass in the regular session, Harckham told NPR he plans to re-introduce it but has not decided on when the mandate would take effect.

Both the California legislation and the New York proposal only address the sale of new equipment, meaning landscapers and homeowners can continue using their existing gas-powered tools.

Numerous cities and towns across the country have gone further and restricted the use – as opposed to just the purchase – of gas-powered leaf blowers. And this month, two municipalities in Marin County, Calif., – Fairfax and Sausalito – banned the use of other gas-powered equipment as well, including mowers, to be phased in over the next 18 months.

Mixed environmental impact

Electric lawn mowers won’t help much in terms of climate-changing emissions – people just don’t mow their lawns nearly as much as they drive. The California Air Resources Board, for example, estimates that phasing out gasoline-powered lawn equipment will save an average of 0.66 million metric tons of CO2 a year, while the state produced 418 million tons in 2019 – the last year data was available.

But the agency found that gasoline-powered engines produce substantial amounts of other pollutants, such as nitrogen oxide, which can lead to respiratory difficulties and smog. In addition, researchers have raised concerns about the impact of the equipment’s noise and vibrations on operators’ health.

Large, commercial-grade equipment is used on a significant proportion of green spaces around the country – not only public properties and office parks. The California State University survey found, for example, that half of the state’s residents with lawns hired landscapers to take care of them, either partially or fully.

Drawbacks of mandates

Still, even some supporters of green landscaping oppose mandating electric equipment, arguing that it may cause small landscapers – an important employer of immigrants and limited-skill workers – to go out of business.

If you just ban the use of equipment, you’re really putting the entire onus on the landscapers to come up with the money that they need to purchase the equipment, said Jamie Banks, the founder and CEO of the non-profit Quiet Communities, Inc. It’s not just purchasing the tool but also purchasing enough batteries and enough chargers that they can meet their work production needs.

And some of those batteries are expensive – as much as 1,500 for a backpack-style one to power a leaf blower. California lawmakers have so far allocated 30 million for subsidies to offset the higher landscapers will have to pay for new electric equipment. But the National Association of Landscape Professionals said the amount breaks down to just 15 for each piece of gas-powered equipment that landscapers in the state need to replace.

Berman, the state legislator, said that he is hoping to get more subsidies in the budget for the coming year.

Quiet Communities and another nonprofit, the American Green Zone Alliance, have been working with towns, school districts, and other entities to adopt zero-emissions equipment for their own properties, but to do so voluntarily. So far, they say they have recruited about 20 locales and institutions across the country to take part in their program.

I think the writing is on the wall, Banks said. It’s just, how do we get there in a way that’s, you know, fair, most efficient and so forth.

How To Choose a Battery Operated Lawn Mower?

In this buying guide, we have provided all essential information about battery-powered lawn mowers, including what factors to consider like runtime, power, blade speed, etc. Check these factors to invest in the best model.

Power:

Power represents the performance of a battery powered lawn mower. It is measured in terms of volts. Battery powered lawn mowers come with power range between 36 to 120 volts.

Underpowered models may slow down the blade while cutting the grass, especially tough or thick grass/weed.

The lawnmowers with higher voltage (like above 70 volts) can easily generate more power required for self-propelled wheels. Thus, it provides additional torque to cut through dense grass with ease. Even though they aid in better performance and suits for medium-large yards but they are expensive and trade-offs.

For instance, a 70-volt battery weighs heavier than a 40-volt battery. Thus, require more power to drive it forward, which has a negative impact on runtime. Therefore, it makes the mower to become difficult to move/operate.

While mowers with a lower voltage (36 – 65 volts) are lighter, easy to move around obstacles (such as shrubs or trees), affordable, and suits for small yards.

Battery Runtime:

The run time of most battery-powered lawn mowers will be around 30 – 60 minutes. The runtime (amp-hour/Ah) of a battery will let you know how much time a mower can go at once. So, the higher the Ah of a battery, the longer it will last before you recharge it. Also, the size of your yard will let you decide the perfect runtime of your battery-powered lawnmower.

For a smaller lawn, you can easily mow the entire lawn without recharging the battery in the middle, while for a larger yard, you have to take a break either to recharge or replace the battery (if you have an extra battery).

Note – While mowing the yard with thick or tall grass, obstacles, and slopes will reduce the runtime and thus, slow down the mower.

Cutting Width:

The cutting width or deck size will determine how wide a lawnmower can cut in a single pass. In general, the deck width in older models of the cordless mower is narrow than gas mowers (around 16 to 18 inches) but now the newer models are available with a cutting width of 20 – 22 inches.

Best Cordless Lawn Mower 2020

The wider the mower’s deck size, the fewer passes are required to mow your lawn. For small lawns, a mower with a narrow deck size is ideal, as it can let you get into tighter spaces, whereas for a larger yard, there should be some extra inches of width to save your effort and time.

Smaller mowers have a cutting width below 20-inches suits for 1/4-acre or less lawns, while larger mowers come with a deck width of above 20 inches, suits for more than 1/4-acre. Most brands offer 20 to 21 inches in the standard battery-operated electric mowers, which works fine.

Blade Speed:

One has to consider the blade speed to determine the performance offered by your lawn mower. The blade speed is represented in rounds per minute (RPM). The blade with a higher speed will result in great cutting performance and thus offer clean cuts while mowing the grass in your yard.

Different cordless mowers offer different blade speeds. One can easily find options with blade speeds like 1500 RPM or 2000 RPM, choose the one that comes with higher blade speed. Most mowers offer variable speed trigger, which allows you to adjust the blade speed easily, as per your requirement.

Runtime

Amp-hour reading provides insight on how much runtime the battery stores. In simple terms, it tells you how much time the lawn mower can go at one go. Lawn mowers come with either 2.0 Ah or 4.0 Ah. Higher rating provides long battery life.

On an average, lawn mowers can cut grass continuously for 30 minutes to an hour. Within this time, they can mow 5,000 to 10,000 square feet before you have to recharge again.

For small to medium sized lawns, you don’t need long runtime. But if you have a bigger lawn, it is better to invest in model with higher runtime.

Another great advantage of using battery operated lawn mowers is that you can just keep multiple spare batteries in your kit. Once the battery runs out, you can just replace new batteries and continue the work without any issues.

Adjustable Cutting Height:

A lawnmower with adjustable deck height will let you mow grass at different lengths. We know that different types of grass require trimming at different heights, without damaging the plants or ground. While, in gas-powered mowers, one has to adjust the height separately at each wheel but not in these cordless electric mowers.

So, a mower having an adjustment system like a lever to easily raise the deck on all four wheels at once will become your best and effortless option.

Most of these cordless electric mowers offer various height adjustment levels for their deck, which range from 1.5 to 4 inches. All you need is to select the proper height to cut the lawn at your desired length.

Battery Type:

Most of these battery-powered lawnmowers run on either lithium battery or lead-acid battery. Each type has its own set of pros and cons.

Lithium Battery– They are lighter, charge faster (60 minutes), less expensive, last longer and more efficient. This battery runs until it fully discharges, before recharging it. Thus, it is effective to use for mowing larger yards and let you finish at once.
Heavy Lead Acid Battery– They are heavy and need a longer time to recharge (12 hours). One has to replace it often and have to recharge it after using 50 – 80% of its capacity. But works fine in mowing your yard.

Note: Most modern models powered by a lithium-ion battery, which let you use it in any cordless tools. But both of these battery types are effective and works well.

Hand-Propelled Vs Self-Propelled Lawn Mowers:

Also, one has to consider whether they want to use self-propelled or hand-propelled cordless lawnmowers.

Hand-Propelled Model – This device won’t offer any mechanical assistance, and all you need is to push and steer by yourself. It is affordable yet suitable for mowing small yards. If you want to reduce the workload and enhance its cutting performance, then pick a mower with a poly deck (reduce weight) and low rolling resistance wheels to complete your task easily.

Self-Propelled Model – They come with a motor to push the unit automatically, without any manual pressure of pushing. One should steer the machine to move in the proper direction. It is a bit expensive and can be used to mow a large or sloping lawn.

Cut Quality:

The cut quality of a mower (blade) will depend on the battery’s power. A general rule is, the larger the battery of a mower, the more it can generate torque and power to cut the grass, especially different grass species.

A few models will let you adjust the torque or RPM (speed) of the blade, whereas a few other models offer an auto-adjust/auto-throttle option, which can easily get adjusted based on the resistance the blade senses. So, with this torque altering, one can easily achieve a perfect cut by preserving the battery life.

Weight:

The cordless lawnmowers are lighter in weight than traditional/gas lawnmowers. Most of these mowers will weigh between 40 – 90 pounds. One will feel the difference in their weight after pushing it for 30 minutes, especially in thicker weed/grass. For instance, a hand-propelled mower is less in weight yet it increases your effort while pushing the mower.

A lawnmower that weighs 50 – 60 pounds is lighter, powerful, easier to move around, and can handle various mowing tasks effortlessly than a mower with 65 pounds weight. Also, powerful mowers weigh heavier due to their bigger batteries. So, one has to check the weight of a mower after installing its battery, as the battery can add some pounds to its total weight.

Apart from the battery, deck size will also make some difference in the weight of a mower. For example, a mower with a large 20-inch deck will weigh more than a mower with a small 14-inch deck.

Grass Clippings:

In general, there are 3 main options available for grass clippings – bagging, mulching and side or rear discharging, in which you have to choose the option based on your preference and lawn size. Some models offer you all these three options and let you switch between them, whereas other models offer one or two options.

Looking to bagging grass clippings, then you have to check the bag size and its volume to hold the clippings. A larger bag is required while mowing a large yard, as you do not have to stop it constantly for emptying the bag after it gets filled.

Some mowers offer a mulch plug option, which is used to convert the mower from bagging to mulching mode. Though this plug is effective and avoids clippings from flying back of the mower, it is a bit annoying to use. While other mowers have a door or sliding cover to open/close the bag, making it easier and more convenient to use.

Multiple Battery Ports:

Multiple battery ports are quite beneficial for those having a lawn of more than 1/3 acre. One can find three possibilities in these ports – a second storage port, a second active port with automatic switching and a second active port with a manual switch.

Among these three ports, automatic switching is convenient and effective to use, which can be seen in higher priced models. While the storage and manual switching options have to put some extra effort but not much like going to the garage for another battery.

Interchangeable Batteries:

The batteries of these cordless mowers are designed to use with other cordless power tools but it is from the same manufacturer with the same voltage rating. So, one has to check what are other devices compatible with the mower’s battery like string trimmers, pole saws, chainsaws, and leaf blowers from the same manufacturer. Also, stick with the same brand while purchasing a spare battery.

Grass Collector:

Different lawn mowers have grass collectors of different sizes, and their capacity can range from 30 – 70 liters. This will let you know how often you have to stop the mower to empty the grass collecting box or bag. Also, consider the weight of a full-filled grass collection bag, as it has an impact on the mobility of a mower.

Handle Comfort:

While mowing a lawn, we have to grip the handle properly for a long time, which makes most of us felt that our hands are getting tired easily. So, it is best to choose a mower having a handle that comes with ergonomic features, padding and different hand placement options.

Storage:

A few models have handles that let you fold up easily for its storage, whereas others occupy even less space by folding and standing on the end. So, it is essential to consider your available storage space along with the mower size (smaller ones occupy less space) and mower design (whether how it folds up).

Ease of Use:

The ease of use depends on various factors of a mower. The cordless electric lawnmowers possess an easy to start/stop push button rather than pull start for gas mowers. Also, the large handles of the electric models will allow you to easily adjust the deck height or mulching mode. For instance, a high-end cordless mower includes self-propelled features, which make it easy to push/manoeuvre around the lawn.

Also, these battery-powered mowers can be folded up into a compact size for easy storage, easy charging procedure removable battery, and they should be easy to clean and maintain, especially for those having a busy lifestyle.

Controls:

Using a mower with different adjustment styles, then look for adjustment on the stiffer side or one with positive stops. Thus, it reduces the chance of any accidental knocking to a different speed if you have bumpy terrain or a hand hits it.

Also, consider the dial location – a mower with centre and front is convenient to make adjustments. However, a few people hit that position while they turning with their hand or hip. So, prefer to choose a mower with adjustment on the side to prevent changing speed accidentally with each turn.

Steel Vs Poly Deck:

A gas-powered mower has either aluminium or steel decks, whereas a cordless mower comes with poly decks in every direction. Steel is a durable option than aluminium or poly decks. But poly is designed with the advantage of making subtle changes easily in their shape, which optimizes airflow for better lifting, mulching, and bagging than a steel deck.

If your yard having a lot of small rocks, which you have to kick up while mowing (or) your old machine won’t pay attention, they prefer to choose a mower with a steel deck, as it extends the mower’s life and also looks pretty good.

Safety Features:

The cordless electric lawnmowers come with built-in safety features that help you to prevent accidents. Here are a few features you should know before buying this type of mower.

The safety bars on the handle have to be held closed to keep the motor running.
It is equipped with guards and flaps to protect the user by preventing the mower from shooting debris at them.
A locking mechanism in the mower will hold the battery in place while using the machine.
Also, consider other safety features like trigger locks, childproof starting mechanism, stone deflectors, etc. in the mower while purchasing them.

Battery Indicator:

Most of these cordless electric lawn mowers come with an LED readout that shows the charge left in the battery. Also, some models have LED headlights, which let you mow in even short daylight hours or dim lighting conditions. So, check for the models that have this LED lighting.

Accessories:

Most battery-powered lawn mowers come with a wide range of accessories, which may or may not directly affect the lawn’s performance, but they definitely make your overall experience much better. So, one can find a few accessories like lawn mower covers, fast charging kits, extra batteries, and more. Choosing a lawnmower with any of these accessories will be an extra value for money.

User Experience:

Even a small lawn will take at least 30 minutes to mow effectively. Not having comfortable while riding the mower, then it can result in disaster. But it is essential to check online reviews and read testimonials to get accurate insights on how comfortably it can ride your lawnmower.

To permit optimum airflow under the mower, we recommend to keep the deck clean.

How to Change a Lawn Mower Battery?

In a cordless lawn mower, batteries are present in one of the two places – under the seat or under the hood. To find out the places of batteries – first turn off the mower and remove the keys as well. Check out the both places. Once you find out, release the latch cover in order to access the battery. If you observe any bar holding or down strap, then carefully remove them.

After the battery is removed, make sure the ground wire is also removed. Check if the connectors are corroded. If so, then brush them clean using a stiff wire. But if the battery is corroded badly, then you can clean them using baking soda and water paste. After applying the paste, let it sit for 5 minutes. Later, you can rinse off the application using water and brush. To dry out the leftover water, we recommend using a soft cloth.

While following this process, make sure water or the mixture doesn’t enter in any battery cells. if the mixture gets into battery, then it will neutralize them – as baking soda can neutralize the battery acid.

To separate the connector from terminal, you should use a flat head screwdriver. Make sure you don’t force the cable off the terminal and to do it carefully and slowly.

Once the negative cable is removed, next take away the red cable. After removing the battery from holder, remove any debris or corrosion from the holder using water. Later, dry the holder completely.

Now place the new battery into the holder and don’t forget to tie-down the bar or strap. While re-attaching the cables, we recommend start with red cable. Once you connect the terminals respectively, cover the battery. Finally, test the battery to make sure it is working properly.
