25-In. Walk-Behind Mower
 |
Slip the batteries in, insert the safety key, and you’re in business. The rear drive wheels make the job easy in the self-propelled mode, and the speed selector is easy to adjust on the go. Grab the self-propel lever and the mower is on the go with or without the cutting action.
At just over 70 lbs. without batteries, the mower is hefty. However, the large wheels make it no more difficult to push around than my older gas-fueled, 21-in. push mower.
I used the mower on Kentucky bluegrass as well as on an area well-populated with weeds and quackgrass. I even tried it out on some overgrown, 10-in. high, very thick grasses.
The GMS 250 handled everything with relative ease. As it moved into heavier material, the automatic increase in power was noticeable.
Run time with the mower depends on the material being cut as well as the available battery. A 2.5Ah battery provides up to 24 min. under a light load. A 5Ah battery will run for up to 81 min. under light load or up to 28 min. under a heavy load.
