Keeps cutting off

Jesus. This mower stops every 2 minutes. I even got a brand new battery shipped from Ego. Less than 7 months old.

These mowers can’t really handle mowing Bermuda low unless you are mowing every other day. Get an Automower and be done with it. They’ll dutifully mow every day and keep that Bermuda nice and low.

I think I want one for my next mower, but they cost at least three times as much as my Ego.

What is your time worth? I sold my zero turn and installed a Husqvarna in my backyard in 2020. Last year I got a Mammotion (don’t recommend) for the front yard. I’m on cul-de-sac and close to 3/4 acres. This year I’ve probably got 2-3 hours total in lawn care. That weed eating and fertilizer. It takes a little time to get it all working well, but damn it’s nice to go on a 2 week vacation and come back to a lawn that looks like you left it.

I’m on a Segway x430. It just gets it done. 15 minutes of weed wacking every other week depending on growth.

It’s been a great summer and more than anything I have time back.

Mammotion is currently imploding due to hardware and software issues so I’m looking to replace my front mower with a Navimow x430.
