Gadgets and lawn equipment — not something you’d normally hear in the same sentence. While I’m sure there’s some techie riding mowers out there, the two things don’t normally well up feelings of excitement in me. But I hate eve mowing my 5-minute yard, so I’m clearly biased. Maybe my opinion of lawn work would be different if I could drive around in a tractor with wheels covered in spikes such as these. The purpose is legit —...

If I was faced with the task of mowing 5-10 acres, it would be full on riding mower for me. Even though I’m young and fit, walking would take way too long. If the yard were smaller though — say 1/4 acre — I’d be much more inclined to walk. Besides sometimes being faster than riding in smaller yards, walking also helps prevent your body from aging too quickly.

Sadly, you can’t really mow and go...

Do you walk or ride your lawn? Simple question. Easy answer. An equally easy answer should come pretty naturally when showing any “Man’s man” a 100mph lawnmower — Yes, a lawnmower that moves at triple digit speeds. Obviously, such a unique and special machine is built for a special purpose. Since the lawnmower travels faster than pretty much every other lawnmower, I’m sure you can gather that a speed record is in order. Project...

It’s that time again. Time for another nerdy item that isn’t a gadget but none the less gets our minds a buzzin’. Being the gadget freaks that we are, we’re often dealing with screens of various sizes and technologies. Often times, these displays offer less than stellar performance in the sun meaning we spend a lot of time indoors, sometimes even with the lights off. If you yearn for more of that earthly feeling but can’t seem to untether...
