My Troy bilt Honda 160 is still kickin for 14 years. What are your thoughts on battery powered units? For what it’s worth it takes a half a tank to mow front and back. I maybe looking into the Sthil mower. Of course when the Honda gives up, lol.
If waiting for the Honda to give up, why contemplate it now? It could be another decade, choices and price points for gas operation vs cordless electric investment may have changed by then. Keep the deck clean and oiled so it doesn't rust out.My Troy bilt Honda 160 is still kickin for 14 years. What are your thoughts on battery powered units?

Have you replaced the batteries at all?If waiting for the Honda to give up, why contemplate it now? It could be another decade, choices and price points for gas operation vs cordless electric investment may have changed by then. Keep the deck clean and oiled so it doesn't rust out.
Unless it's only a tiny lawn, don't get a cheap cordless or else you'll be disappointed by runtime,
I've got a 40v Greenworks push mower that is 9 years old. All of my lawn equipment is battery powered, except for the 2010 craftsman tractor I use for the large backyard.
I've also use a Ego 56v 2-stage snowblower. If you think it's underpowered,your seriously uninformed.
Nothing wrong with battery powered tools and equipment.They require care just like anything else.

Of course the issue is how the ambient temperature affects battery life/capacity.I could do cordless around the house, but my acre side yard (might be more) is a bit much I think. I’ve also done well so far with mowers, usually get on the cheap.
Wild speculation here: how long until a two stage snow blower?

How heavy/deep a snow fall can that handle?I've got a ego 56v 2 stage snow blower in the garage. Ryobi and SnowJoe also have the 2 stage snow blowers.

My issue is the end of driveway pile that the plows leave. Especially if it's wet and slushy. I got rid of my craftsman 208cc and got a 10hp Toro to handle that. One of these years I'll go battery powered snowblower.We didn't get that much snow this winter but it handled 6-inches of snow on Eco-mode easily.
If you do a search on YouTube,these will handle 10-inches plus with no issues.
