I expect they do need lubrication from time to time. I just bought an electric mower this year and it’s pretty low power, so I predict that any amount of additional friction in the system is going to be too much.
Wish they made an affordable electric zero turn that could handle mowing 7 acres of field 3-4 times a month in the summer. I need commercial grade sadly and there’s nothing in the homeowner space that comes close to my needs. The commercial ones are like 30k to compare with what I got for 6k
If you buy an electric mower, you never have to change the oil again. Or the spark plug. Or buy gas. Or clean the carburetor.
And they’re quieter! God I wish my neighbors all had electric mowers. Sometimes it seems like they’re invited to all the zoom meetings I attend.
And when they’re being used the engine doesn’t have to spin all. the. time.
If you never mow and grow insect friendly lawns…you wont ever have to buy a mower…fuck lawns.
The HOA won’t let me have goats to keep the grass low though
The point is not having non native grass. Use local plants and let your garden be a humming bird and bee haven.
I did this for years. I even got into the HOA board just to keep them off my back. It was so freeing to not have to mow.
My next mower will probably be a lawn service

Jokes on you, I never did most of that anyway.
Also still got the gas can from pre covid.
