I was in Home Depot this morning. There were 2 gas push lawn mowers and 7 different brands of electric ones. Including a monster looking Dewalt. I have 2 acres so I have a small riding mower, but we know anything that runs on gas is the next target.
I say Nooooooooooooo! I think that since I now draw Social Security and am therefore officially deemed by the government to be old, I can claim the too old to change exemption! I am going to buy all the air and oil filters and blades I can find for my John Deere this weekend. Unless they stop selling gas, I can keep mowing with my dinosaur juice grass annihilator.
But all kidding aside I have a sick feeling in my stomach my bus will be harder to hide.

Just get some goats and be done with it. They'll even eat your Kudzu.

Goats will probably need to have a catalytic converter attached to deal with methane emissions.

Anyone here remember the GE electrak battery riding mowers from the 60's? Many buyers and most were parked never to run again in 2 to 3 years. Battery power just wasn't  there yet. There is a following today for some still around. They had some unique features. Our neighbor had one. GE transferred production to Wheel Horse, then it went to someone else then again.
