Have them for a leaf blower to clear out the carport and do edging etc. 100 ft. is heavy and tedious to roll back up.

The battery-operated mowers are great and if you have 2 batteries you can change out if you use one up and pop in the fresh one in while the other one is charging. The mowers are as robust as gas operated ones as far as mowing hearty grassy areas.
