I found it (I think) you asked "Now, tell me what part of your great democratic system is causing that" (referring to california population decline. First, california exodus is irrelevant to the conversation. the point was that california's 40 million customers means they have influence over...

Nope, i will answer any question you or anyone asks, if you'll agree to answer one in return. There is no question in my politics i will not answer. But I'll go back and see if i can figure out what you're referring to.

If i do will you reply to the data and not change the subject? this is back of the napkin, i'm sure it's flawed but here goes: 120 lb of lifepo4 batteries is 400 amps at 12VDC, that's 4800 watts 750 watts per hp so we have about 6hp for one hour or 12 hp for 30 min. That's equivalent to...

I think we agree. i think an electric mower will be a better mousetrap for most people. You think the opposite. You might be right. The problem is, no one will take your side. All the manufacturers are shifting to electric. No one is standing in the road say "gas is better, we will keep...

How i know this- it's just math. and the key phrase is "properly built" 200 lb of lithium can hold enough energy to move a lawn tractor around for a couple hours. And it can charge and discharge 4000 times. Meanwhile, we as a people do not care who is exploited to make our stuff. People...

it's a learning curve. There were a lot of gasoline fires when we first started using cars. In the late 90s a woman was killed by a man she met on AOL. All internet stocks plummeted. Today most relationships begin online. Protocols for storing lithium batteries will become normal. Green...

That would be a fair point but it turns out this whole thread was intended to debate politics and promote ideology. I didn't realize that at first but the OP (smhardesty) asked if people thought electric was a good idea and where he could get some resources, then he proceeded to carpet bomb the...

I think the move to electric riding mowers will go like the shift to Z mowers- remember? 25 year ago, or so, they were only for professionals who needed the speed but then Toro came out with the first consumer grade model. Really expensive, only the rich neighbor had one. then every...

Ok, let's stick to the machines. Electricity is a better power source for most tools. That's AC or DC- who would prefer a gas powered compressor if they could have an electric one? It's only when the job needs higher energy density in a portable form, like, say, a farm tractror, is liquid...

No, but you still have not answered the question? Which part of this evolution is unconstitutional or not consistent with a free market?

right, but you didn't answer the question. If all this is wrong what part do you find unfair or inconsistent with our Constitution or a free market economy? Who exactly is your complaint with?

Interesting conversation. I think people are confusing the quality of certain products with the capability of the technology. A properly built electric mower would be perfect for most home users. Walk-behind or riders, it's 40 minutes of use followed by a week of charge time. Look at golf...

This was given to me not working. I got the cheap rebuild kit and replaced carb, fuel lines and filters. It started on the second pull. Worked great for a day. Now it's being a difficult, hard to start, would not stay running, then not starting at all. I went over everything, has good...

A friend has this, it needs a fuel pump. He'll let me take it and pay whatever we decide it's worth after i get it running. It's pretty sound, ran last year. rust and holes in the deck but the deck is usable. I now nothing about these machines but i really like heavy old lawn tractors to mow...

I've had this mower for a few months, replaced fuel pump and carb (cheap clone carb) It worked great for a while. Now it doesn't It will start fine with just a little choke and work great for 10 minutes or so then it begins surging and losing power until it dies. I've been over...
