I'd like to see the 26hp leaf blower.

There was an episode of American Dad with a Hemi pressure washer...

Now everyone in MN will have a 25HP diesel ZT or subcut.
Could be a good day for you guys who have been trying to convince your wives you need a bigger tractor?
Just sayin’…lol

I hope the 26 hp push mowers will be self propelled.

It sounds like something Tim Taylor would advocate.

Thanks, California.

You're welcome!

Please, everybody, keep your political opinions out of these types of threads so we can keep them open. Discussing the facts is fine but when we start to see words like liberal, left, right, politician names, etc, the topics veer off course.

ST. PAUL, MN. (Northern News Now) - A new bill introduced into the Minnesota House would prohibit the sale of non-electric lawn equipment after 2025.

Rep. Jerry Newton (DFL - Coon Rapids) and Rep. Heather Edelson (DFL - Edina) co-authored the bill, which was introduced last Monday.

The bill would require all new lawn and garden equipment sold in Minnesota after January 1, 2025, to be powered by electricity.

According to the bill, “lawn and garden equipment” would include lawnmowers, leaf blowers, hedge clippers, chainsaws, lawn edgers, string trimmers, or brush cutters that use below 19 kilowatts or 25 horsepower.


Rep. Newton and Edelson also introduced a bi

Seems like potential loopholes around “lawn and garden” (if that’s really in the bill). Perhaps CUT and SCUT could be considered something other than lawn and garden and thus not be affected. If so, watch for tons of homeowners to be clamoring for SCUT models in the 12-15hp range with mid mount mowers as a standard offering!

Every state legislature always has a few members who introduce wacky legislation every year. And most of this legislation doesn’t make it out of committee, much less being passed by the full body. I put this in that category.

I hope so, for the people of MN. Since I don't live there, I'll probably not be able to keep up with the progress of the bill. If I hear more (or if any MN forum members do), plz post updates...
