What did you end up doing?

Here's a video where the full time mechanic (Faye Hadley) installs a portable 4 post lift. Check it out. Man, if I could, I'd install a lift in a heart beat. It's getting tougher and tougher working on my back.

Neither for me. It depends on the size of the garage though. My garage is 20x24x10 and I don't go crazy spraying the water all over the place, nor do I use the pressure washer in the garage that's reserved for outside. I am very precise with the water hose when washing inside the garage. If...

I started assembling the material needed to install a 10' winch system in the garage and getting my thoughts together on the best method to install to the ceiling. I have most of the items but need a few more. The winch will be used remove the pickup bed from my pickup truck and of course for...

Go ahead and get it. If, from what I see in the photo, you can remove the roller by lifting it off the mower mounts without having to remove bolts, I wouldn't hesitate to get it, unless they charge some crazy price for it, like $600.

It's not just Milwaukee blowers that will kill a battery pretty quickly. They all pretty much do that. That's one battery powered item I have that will kill a battery if it just looks at it.

The blew it trying to make a few extra bucks.

Which renders it useless in my book unless Ryobi can convert to new battery technology.

This ain't one of them.

Saw this video, but this guy who had the mower for a year and provided a non-glossy brochure review after having it 1 year (not just purchased it) said the batteries had degraded afte 1 year (batteries have only a 1 year warranty) and that he could no longer cut his lawn on one charge anymore...

If I can't discharge them beyond 50% then they are **** batteries and I have no use for that ****. That's old battery technology being used in a new high tech high priced piece of equipment. Shame on Ryobi for using that ****.

OP, the battery powered push mowers are light years ahead of the battery powered ZTO mowers and you have many options to choose from on the market these days...some better than others in different categories. Do your research and seek out real world user experiences and you should be ok. Don't...

There are reviews on the $5k Ryobi ZTO mower where the reviewer says the battery no longer holds a charge and it takes him a couple days to cut the lawn. Here's the kicker, Ryobi doesn't have replacement batteries. As one reviewer put it, he now has a $5k paper weight. I'll let you'll be the...

Better be sure to check out the reviews on the Ryobis. You might not like what you see. Hint, hint.
