I usually wait until the first of April, but parts of it were almost shin high so I finally broke down and mowed it and took care of some other outdoor chores.
The good news is my hacked electric mower is still kicking. Official batteries for it are expensive and way under-sized, so I hacked in a 10Ah ebike battery a few years ago.
Awesome! I dig it. When my gas mower craps out I will totally consider something like that. I have the ryobi edger/other tools but the batteries are expensive to keep around especially of you have a bigger yard.
