Very warm today, Nearly 70 degrees F. I have waited to use my God mower. About 8 years ago I had a used Toro, and I ran it into late November. I didn't know your could crack the engine block in a gas powered mower if you run it and it's too cold for the oil to work.
My God mower is now, brand new, worth over $6K, so waiting to run it on a warm day is crucial.
My compact tractor has a cold weather feature, a Glo Plug, that preheats the engine in cold weather, so I Can run that in the winter.
Although I need the exercise to get back in shape, after spending 3 months in bed this winter and muscle atrophy, I can get More done driving around with my tow wagon. I'll take that.
