Check out the Eco from the depot. It is the nicest I've seen.

I think you mean EGO not ECO. ECO are push reel mowers.

For me, weight is the primary factor, with $$$ a close second.

The 20" EGO comes in at 56lbs (without battery?? Why would you list weight without battery???) Current price is $400 at Depot.

So far I like the Ryobi 16". It comes in at 40lbs and $300.

The EGO would do my lawn faster but I am concerned about the slope. Anyone actually see the 16" Ryobi? Can't tell if it is junk that won't make it past the first season. One issue is that I have 3 evil black walnut trees around my yard. Impossible to remove them all so just have to mow over them but they are hard on mowers and probably harder on battery mowers.

brian, personally not into battery powered (lawn stuff), there are a lot of utube videos on battery mowers, look at the comments. these walnut trees? are you talking about mowing over suckers? that might have an effect on it's health. keep an eye out, you might stumble across 1 of those lawn boy's, solve all your problems.

Not suckers, but the walnuts themselves. Probably 200lbs of the darn things scattered everywhere. They are very hard. Sort of like mowing over golf balls.

Those lawn boys are now very rare because people used them. Mostly I see them for sale as non-working for parts.

hi, i just picked up my first lawn boy 2 stroke a couple day's ago, looking forward to trying to bring it back to life. big rock hard nuts i think would have an impact on a light weight mower, any mower, especially blades. might have to invest in a good rake and turn this into a 2 part job. from what i've seen and heard those old lawn boys where a durable machine. as a matter of fact, i responded to this ad, it's an hour out but looks like a fun project. emailed last night, haven't heard back from the poster, think it's gone? the 1 i picked up earlier is under "estate sale" a couple posts below.

Lawnboy gas mower - $25 hide this posting

Lawnboy gas lawn mower with 2 grass chutes and a grass bag. I can't mow my lawn anymore, so don't need it. It did work last year. asking $25

We’ve had a Gardenia for about 10 years and it’s worked really well. We have a small city lot (50x100). I love how quiet it is and I can usually do two mowings on one battery before charging again. It’s light weight enough for me to easily lift it and lug around.

Brian , i just recommended 16" Kobalt 40 volt unit to a forum members last week . Advised that there was also Black & Decker and Husky but feature for feature Kobalt is much Superior . Stay away from anything Ryobi markets , junk !!!!!!!

300' If u get tired of the Lawnboy just ship it up North here . Had 8 of them over 30 yr period , awesome units . Do not see many for sale in the Great White North , such a shame . Once Bombardier bought out OMC lawnboy was dead !

update: the mower mentioned above has been sold. somebody's grinning.

sse, yeah i might get to it this weekend?

I took a peek at Craigslist and amazingly, there was a lawnboy for sale less than 20 miles away. Had to pay $150 but it is in fairly good condition.

hey, did you buy it! what model is that 1.

very cool brian, looks like it's the same vintage as the 1 i found last weekend. have took it out for a mow yet? probably doesn't fit in that 35lb. range.
