GreenWorks 25112 13 Amp 21-Inch Lawn Mower

All work well. The GreenWorks 25112 13 Amp 21-Inch Lawn Mower is under advertised as far as I'm concerned. This summer for some reason the motor had a serious mechanical problem. Then I came across the Greenworks 21" version. 13Amp motor (2hP gas equivalent with a wider torque range) Large wheels on the back to make turning easy, light and $200, cheaper than the gas equivalent I was looking at. No Oil, No Gas.

I have one extension cord at the right grade and one that is a bit lower. Also the cables are a pain the first few times you mow. I learned eventually to start close to where the cord was plugged in and always turn the machine in the direction away from the cord when turning around. Otherwise having to reorganize the cord was an absolute nuisance.

Wayne PLS100 1 HP 720 GPH Portable Lawn Sprinkling Pump

I purchased this Wayne PLS100 1 HP 720 GPH Portable Lawn Sprinkling Pump, Stainless to save money on water bills. In 2013 I stopped watering my lawn and let it burn up do to high water bills. The hose going into the creek was purchased at my local Home Depot. I used clamps to attach to the pump. The water from the creek to my yard is about 15 ft. I was able to run a 100 ft garden hose from the pump to my front yard and use an oscillating sprinkler with plenty of power.

I'm thinking it is because I used the creek water rather than city water. It is an electric motor filled with conductive copper wire and is NOT water proof! If you do not have a proper ground you could be electrocuted as well if your near by and standing in water. This pump does a great job of moving water from our irrigation ditch to our garden, lawn, etc. Still everything worked fine.

US Wire 65100 12/3 100-Foot SJTW Orange Heavy Duty Extension Cord

Heavy gauge extension cords are very expensive. This high quality, heavy gauge 100 foot cord is less than half the price of anything else I've seen. Compared US Wire 65100 12/3 100-Foot SJTW Orange Heavy Duty Extension Cord prices on the internet from Northern Tool, Harbor Freight, WalMart, Lowes, Home Depot and none compared to this product!

This is a fine exercise device. It is reasonably flexible and it weighs 15 lbs. You will become reasonably flexible and weigh 15 lbs less yourself if you use it with a lawn mower as I do. It also doubles as a well-made, effective electrical connector which does a fine job of powering the mower.
