So landscapers buy their equipment from and out of state seller who now most likely will offer free shipping to get the sales. California loses the sales tax revenue so in the end, gas equipment continues to get used and California has solved nothing. Not that there was a problem anyway!!!
This is exactly why I left California. I was born and raised in San Diego. People want it to look like a tropical paradise when its a coastal desert. Grow native plants! Grass and palm trees arent feasible if California needs water from the rest of the country. America has a grassland let them grow grass because it actually rains there.
i'm so glad you made a video on this, my dad was so annoyed when he heard that the law passed!! we do live in california, and it will probably affect him in the future but like you say, it doesn't affect anyone right now
Agree 100% Brad. The battery technology for those pieces of equipment is evolving so rapidly that bye 2024 you'll have options of some pretty well operating choices. Hoping all is well Bud, Dirty Jersey out!! #broinlawns!!
Rest of the USA just needs to ban California. CA always talks about GDP, but if you build new modernized super ports in the East Coast states (that supersede CA ports to host) and transition Cal AG to Texas, they will suffocate.
We can joke and make memes about it except past 2024 the rule is just hovering there. At that point, they're in the shadow of whether the state decides to start enforcing it or not.
That would be madness for me at work having to go to a battery source and I don’t have any power supply at work. BTW what is the average run time on a leaf blower. Should add I’m in the UK
Yes, Californians remember the market forces dictate that as competition and choice decreases( gas mower ban) monopolies set up ( battery). Expect to pay 300% more in 2024 for that electric lawnmower.
A HART 20 inch manually propelled brushless is only 330 dollars with battery and charger. It’s good enough for homeowner use duties. For prosumer duty, a self propelled EGO mower kit is 700 dollars.
Unrelated question but i’m watching from michigan and work for a lawn care service in the summers and we bag every single house we cut. We do it because customers don’t like the clippings on their lawns. Is there a specific reason why you don’t bag in your videos? Just curious love the videos.
It is better for the lawn to leave it on regular maintenance accounts. sfyl.ifas.ufl.edu/sarasota/natural-resources/waste-reduction/composting/what-is-composting/what-can-be-composted/grass-cycling/
Hahahahhahahahhahaha. Now Hollywood gonna have to cut they own grass. My lawn dude, not to hate cuz you ain't near me, would laugh at having to do a few acres a day with just battery machines
I do lawn work as a side-gig with a Honda GCV17. It has a big gas tank for a residential mower and it still runs out. These battery powered ones seriously won’t make it through more than a front, back, and an additional half a yard maybe before they die out. The technology isn’t there and they’re obscenely expensive.
I'm actually ok with that.....I prefer electric on everything, only because it's easier for me to have charged batteries lying around then to find out my gas can is empty....then I have to waste gas to go get more gas. I also like that I don't have to change belts, or need to mix oil, etc. etc.....and the noise is so much less. But that's just my opinion, lol.
Cable news did a freakout on this story as if it were the end times. Not mentioned was that everything gas-powered will be grandfathered, which for residents who buy commercial equipment might easily use them for another twenty years or more if taken care of. But if you're not planning to go electric soon, you're missing out - because you're busy changing oil, gas, oil filters, sparkplugs, air filters, fuel filters, belts, etc., - while the rest of us are kicked back with our feet up. 😁
I'll have my feet up when I finish cutting my 2 1/2 acres with my gas zero turn and your figuring out how your going to recharge your battery when your electric POS dies about 1/3 of the way through the job and you are as far away from a charging source as you can be.
I powered through my entire yard work in 30 minutes or less with my Milwaukee M18 FUEL outdoor power equipment and sometimes offered to help out a neighbor with free landscaping. However, an MX Fuel 32 inch mower would be awesome.
An outright ban on new gas machines just isn't feasible. Especially when there are jobs that require gas machines. Whether that be jobs in remote areas nowhere near electricity or jobs that are too large for electric machines.
This ban seems dumb and it is but, it will force manufacturers into making better electric outdoor power equipment. The EU will eventually follow suit with an identical SORE ban as either part of EURO 7 or as separate legislation.
First top priority? What? Why do you think the fifth-largest economy on the face of the Earth can't walk and chew gum simultaneously? You brought up the homeless population as a red-herring, to pretend that nothing else should be done about anything else, at all, ever, not for a second, until the homeless population is completely housed. But that makes less than no sense. Homelessness has nothing to do with transitioning to renewable energy and you saying the state can't walk and chew gum simultaneously is such a dishonest thing to say. It's impossible to have actual conversations about how to make anything better when you act as childishly as you're acting.
@@None0fYourBusiness the state can’t even keep the lights on in the summer without brownouts you think you guys have the extra power to charge thousands of batteries at a time
@@Newberntrains California suffered its first rolling blackouts in nearly 20 years because energy planners didn't take climate change into account and didn't line up the right power sources to keep the lights on after sundown, according to a damning self-evaluation released in October 2020 by three state agencies. Read that again. The first blackouts in 20 years. Don't pretend that California can't keep its lights on, that's just not true. All you're really doing is giving a great reason to transition to renewable energy. California gets tons of sun and solar power will be a large part of the solution to the energy demands of California. You people are ridiculous, all you want to do is complain about problems instead of working to create solutions. Notice how California is working hard to find and create those solutions while Texas, who suffered massive blackouts during a blizzard, is STILL refusing to winterize their grid? Stop pulling down people trying to figure out a problem and start encouraging others to help. Be part of the solution, not part of the problem.
@@None0fYourBusiness here is a solution nuclear power. 0 emissions, very reliable, safe, and a lot more efficient than solar but yet California is closing down their last nuclear plant. CA doesn’t actually care about green energy
I personally very much agree with this ban. As a UA-cam, recording while people are mowing their lawns is *horrible* as the noise cuts into your microphone. The electric mowers are quieter, which is a big plus for me. Also, they don’t smell of fuel. Overall a better customer experience overall, as a customer. These tools exist, we should be using them, and not sticking with gas powered forever.
Problem lies with the battery tech isn’t there for commercial purposes. The amount of batteries you would need for a days worth of work would be an insane financial burden.
It’s more of that for commercial guys the battery technology isn’t there yet or at the very least would be insanely expensive for all the batteries they would need for a day of work.
What is the ban? Gas engine vs battery?
Yes, no new small gas engines by 2024 (lawn mowers, string trimmers, leaf blowers, etc).
This what the voters, voted for, so meh!
@@CopperCreekCuts California’s leading the way into oblivion, as usual.
@@sotirsoson Just give people $10,000 for ratting people out and it will be just like Texas.
It’s amazing how everyone hates to be told what to do but criticizes everyone else for what they do. Hypocrites galore!
You can still use gas equipment just can't buy after 2024. Honestly people will just drive to Oregon or Nevada and buy them.

Let's go Brandon ( but to California) over this engine ban.
Ahahah the office joke made this even better!

First it's your lawn mower in your weed eater next year at your diesel pickup whatever else they decide to throw at you we cannot comply with this BS
This is SO Hilarious! I might have said that already...but we are watching it again!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
Being originally from California it's really sad to see what it's became...used to be the best state ever, now run into the ground by liberals
This is perfect!!
keep taking and taking from us eventually we'll just be their slaves
Rest of the USA just needs to ban California. CA always talks about GDP, but if you build new modernized super ports in the East Coast states (that supersede CA ports to host) and transition Cal AG to Texas, they will suffocate.

It’s comifornia could you expect any less.
Well, it’s half way through 2024 and I can still buy small gas powered lawn implements at Home Depot.
If this ever goes through I perceive lawns becoming rock gardens and cacti proliferating.
