    The timing of this is perfect. I was mowing yesterday and one of my daughters asked if how to dad had a video on mowing.

    oh my, you just reminded me exactly how much I appreciate my electric mower. I've been with her about a year by now, and I see from watching this, I was beginning to forget how much I need her. I was beginning to take her for granted. I'm going right now to give her a hug and tell her how much I value her..thank you htd

    @kellywalker7127 2 года назад +2

    Sadly, either they hid the little boil thingy on my mower, OR it did not come with one. (The second answer is the correct one) and I can't figure out how to get it started easily. You tubed etc... still unknown. I pull and pull till it starts, about the 20th yank. It works, it was free. Eventually I will get a new one WITH a red boil! Thanks @HowtoDad.

  • @nikiTricoteuse
    @nikiTricoteuse 2 года назад +1

    Have to disagree HTD, that is called a motor mower, a push mower has no motor. Also, a tip for the less strong among us, hold onto the handle with one hand and the pull cord with the other then, simultaneously pull the cord and push the mower, SOOO much easier than trying just with the cord.

    Ah yes, when I lived in NZ for a year, we had that thing. I was a bit scared as I assumed that meant, just like in the Netherland, I wouldn’t be able to sit in the garden all summer as everyone just keeps on “doing the garden”. But was pleasantly surprised, it’s fast and then we’re done. Nice pie, beer and off you go.

    @scragar 2 года назад +4

    That looks massively complicated. I have a battery powered mower, I use it then put it on charge when I return it to the shed. Never had any problems starting it or need for an instruction manual. Press start to turn it on, press off to turn it off or let go of the handle. Adjust the hight with the ↑ and ↓ buttons.
    The idea of messing around just to start it or it running without a deadmans switch in the handle is horrifying.
