As promised:
Current collection. DeWalt 20V blower and 20V lawn trimmer. Love them. Both replaced 2 stroke gas tools. The blower is even more powerful than the Echo blower, but not the trimmer. It's a tad weaker. But, in both cases I love them. Easy to use slap a battery in and go. No stinky exhaust, no keeping separate fuel. Same battery as some of my power tools.
Just bought about 3 weeks ago Toro Super Recycler 60V mower. We have a large lot. So for the bulk of cutting the Kubota gets the nod. (Big Orange). But, I always have times trying to maneuver a large machine with a large 60" deck is a bit tough, and the trimmer is not the right tool. The Mower replaced my Honda HRX216 walk behind (which even had a miniature hydrostatic transmission). Again, tired of storing different types of fuel, maintaining gas engines, that don't really get used but still needing oil changes or special mixes and such. So the Honda got sold.
Next I have a Toro 60V Power Clear snow blower ordered. Takes same batteries as the mower. Currently have Toro QX724 snowblower. Plenty of power, starts easily but doesn't clean worth a plugged nickel. Has to be the worst $1000 I've ever spent. It had replaced my aging Honda snowblower. (HS621). Clogged sometimes (though if you replaced the paddles more often it helped). Cleaned right down to the pavement as well. And being a Honda was powerful and always started. But was getting old. Parts harder to get. Why the new Toro was bought. (Wish I had the Honda back).
Bottom line plan is to see how the Power Clear works in tough snow. Likely will sell the larger QX724.
Slowly then, clearing the need to hold on to gasoline. Our generator will be converted to dual fuel soon. (gasoline/LP_NG). Once it's converted no reason to keep fuel for it. Only remaining gas tool would be the power washer. Once I find a suitable battery one it too will go away.
This way the only liquid fuel I will need to store and use will be good ol #2 Diesel![Big grin :D :D](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png)
