Thats what I have. Ego blower and string trimmer. Only had a few months, but they have been great so far. One 5 AH battery is more than enough for trimming and blowing for me.I’m all in on the ego line of products. Mower, trimmer, hedge trimmer. Except snow blower, I still see gas powered as the only option for heavy snow.
Looking out the window, my grass is SO long right now. Its that last shot of August heat up here, so have been trying to let that pass before I venture out there, and just have some other stuff to do this afternoon.
Rain has it turning it into a scene from "Little Shop of Horrors" out there. The neighbors love me I'm sure, but they can come over and help if they want to.
Rain tonight and maybe into tomorrow? Friday? Saturday? It's gonna be a jungle out there.
Might be a double-cutter, so that's out in the heat.
Please don't que Axel Rose.
The RIDE?! Lucky dog.Been on the DL for almost two weeks, but was finally able to get on the turf today. No choice but to double-cut, as the clippings were clumping everywhere. Unusual for August in my neck of the woods; normally we’re struggling to come out of dormancy right now, but it’s been so wet that that didn’t happen this year.
With a nice breeze, intermittent cloud cover, and temps in the 70’s, I did enjoy the ride.
My yard isn't quite big enough to justify a riding mower although two of my neighbors have them. I suspect it is more a mobility/health issue for them.Got a great deal on a tow behind tine dethatcher for my mower. My lawn needs it too since I mulch the grass clippings. Then I'll lime, seed, and feed.
Lime is one of the best things for my lawn here in NJ. It balances the soil PH and makes fertilizer more effective. Almost like a primer for other lawn products. 4 $ per bag.My yard isn't quite big enough to justify a riding mower although two of my neighbors have them.

What does lime do? I guess I have some googling to do.
Lol, I am just now looking back through this thread and noticed I never answered your question.I use Stihl 2 cycle oil mixed 50:1 in all my 2 cycle tools - all Stihl - chainsaw, trimmer, auger, backpack blower, hedge trimmer. But I’ve used regular gasoline forever and have never had a problem. Also, I run out of gas all the time and have never had issues. Just curious, why the premium gas and where did you hear running out of gas causes issues?
I was just getting ready to post about my success this year with the lawn when I saw your post.Hmmm... I have read about getting a soil test and that some jurisdictions do it free for residents but no such free service here. I didn't bother looking into pay service, assuming it would be expensive. Maybe I will try that with my fall fertilizing.
While I paid a small fee for the test - I think it was $20 - it removed all the guesswork. There's no way I would have known what to apply (full disclosure, even with the test results I needed them to translate exactly what was needed). Because I would have easily wasted $20 applying the wrong fertilizer, the test actually saved me money.
