You know it's funny that they didn't give a fuck about 10K+ Gun Owners coming to Albany in protest, but sure were pissed about the Grass.I'll do mine only after Albany does it to their lawn.

I want one of these...
How come the military can get factory deleted trucks, but us civvies can't?
I did my part and just purchased a new 23hp JD riding mower, to replace the last one that ran 20 years.
I have2 gasoline vehicles on the road, chain saws, gas furnace and hw heater, and I burn wood.........my carbon Footprint is like Bigfoot and I am proud of it. I also race a bit in SCDA and SCCA and at Cicero Drag Strip.
I am sure I violate the greenies bill of rights in other ways, too. Having an address that has Nat Gas grandfathered, in NYS, is a big plus for resale value, now.

Good....because they can never comply with that standard. In its current form electricity, at least the vast majority is not (and can not) "renewable" based on power generation sources......so FUCK OFF NYS.
This data has changed very little since 2015.
National Security exemption...Uncle Sam and the EPA knew making Diesel Engines comply would be cost prohibitive, unreliable, and less powerful than needed for Military/Tactical Vehicles and Equipment, additionally at the time of inception, the Military was drawing away from anything that used MOGAS in favor of Diesel (and its derivatives) for safety and logistical reasons.

I like diesel too because it's safer than gas.
Imagine if Ford would've made the Pinto diesel?

Dewalt Battery Lawn Mower Catches Fire At Largest OPE Tradeshow in The World
FIRE!!One guy had a great comment:
" USER ERROR!! Instructions clearly state: After use, park vehicle in an airtight metal container, vacuum all air out of container, move container at least 5 miles from any inhabited structure or flammable material, call local fire dept to have at least one pumper truck and 2500 gallons of fire suppression foam sit beside container, go to your nearest church and have the priest pray for you, call your insurance guy and let him know that your damned machine is gonna blow up anyway."
Looks more like Assoline. I won't argue with it though.

New York State Says NO To Gas Powered Mowers, Blowers
As July begins, summer in New York State is well underway and the grass and weeds are growing. A blast of heavy rain to start the weekend, followed by a sunny and warm week, is going to keep landscapers and homeowners busy.

This hasn't actually passed yet. Any politician who supports this doesn't take care of their own property. I do have battery powered tools where appropriate, but the number and size of lawns that I take care of can't be done without a gas or diesel mower.
From the link in the article:
NY State Assembly Bill 2023-A705.
EDIT: I go to the pages for the bills that I oppose and make my opinion known. I don't know if it helps, but if enough people oppose these laws publicly, some of these politicians may start to understand that the majority doesn't agree with them.

I am not going to buy anything battery electric, only because it's a fire risk.
Not going to see my house go up in flames because FUKH wants me to use electric gardening tools. I worked my fucking ass off for what I own.
Only thing I have is 4x 5ah DeWalt batteries, and I have them in a battery fire resistant metal container away from combustibles. When I charge them, I'm close by and have them on the garage floor away from everything.
My work laptop sits on a granite counter top when I'm not using it, and my cell phone does the same.
Yeah, I sound l like the fucking safety king, but I don't give a shit.

Correct, and I see no companion regardless. They closed up shop a month ago, Maybe next January they can try again. It must be nice having to only show up for your job 60 something days a year. The rest you just fuck off and try to get as many kickbacks as possible while making what $150K?
Is there even battery operated equipment to do my two acre+ property in a timely manner, as well as be as cost effective as a $100 push mower from Walmart? My old JD 110 riding mower is a workhorse for its size. Never had an issue. The new Cub Cadet Zero Turn is a heaping pile of trash......selling it soon.
I go through mowing equipment very quickly. Around here its a daily chore to upkeep the yard. Lots of mowing and lots of trimming.
My dad bought a $300 electric push mower.....its an absolute piece of garbage.

The early (80's) Ford Ranger could be had with a spiffy 4cyl Diesel...crazy fuel economy for the time, not exactly a power house, but certainly did the job.

I have 2 to 4 acres of grass to mow. Sometimes I do all 4 acres and sometimes I leave the back 48 for another time. There is no frickin way I can even mow the being lazy about it 2 acres without a gasoline-powered mower.
On top of that, I mow my elderly neighbor's 2 acres at no charge. They have been great neighbors of mine for 32ish years and they are super old farts at this point. So I'm more than glad to help them keep their property in good shape. But I couldn't do that without my gasoline-powered stuff.
"They" the commie fucks in Albany have no idea what the fuck they are doing.
This kind of shit is unworkable for numerous reasons.
It's so stupid that it's ah' fuck it I just need to get out of New York State.
New York State is the village idiot of our country. But it's not Upstate's or WNY's fault.
Thanks, New York City...
Fuck You Very Much!

I love Dewalt tools but the battery lawn mowers they make suck. The 10 amp hour battery they make is trash.
Sounds about right; I had forgotten about the Diesel Escorts; we had one come in used to the Ford Dealership I worked at and they let me use it for a few days while the trans was out of my Truck...it would turn around 4,000 RPM which is singing right along for a Diesel. I don't know but I wouldn't be a bit surprised to find Mazda made it.

Curious of when NYer's will finally say enough is enough....
The elites DON'T CARE. It's all about making sure YOU obey THEIR orders.
Sure they do. They are deliberately trying to destroy people.
What everyone needs to realize is that the bodies are easier to hide if the grass is really tall.
