Is this unit overkill for starting my Hustler Mower after a long winter? ( Truck and car are both well maintained and will likely never need a jump.)

Overkill for just a lawn mower, likely yes. If you know the battery is low a battery charger is cheaper and has the additional utility of being able to charge/condition batteries that are low but not out, this does come at the cost of not being mobile.

The battery in this is more like the size of what you'd see on a riding mower or generator versus a car, so it's almost a "for sure" on working for those whereas I'd give it a 50% chance on cars (or less if the car battery is fully drained like from leaving lights on all night long).I'd not call it an "overkill" unless you were going for one that costs over $150 and has an actual "car" size battery in it.

It's not overkill at all. I got mine primarily to jumpstart ATVs and my riding mower.

Not to run contrary to the folks providing all the technical expertise, but I have personally jumped my own car (4 cyl engine) from a rechargeable unit much less sophisticated than this AND plugged into the cigarette lighter/aux socket. Again, it was not this particular unit and, per the instructions, you had to wait several minutes. But it worked perfectly.

the quality and weight limit would make this excellent for this work. I would suggest a ramp to run the machine up to the low level of the lift. I would not be afraid to lift any push type mower or snow blower

I am towing with a 25 Horse Husqvarna. I think you could use most any riding mower. You will feel a little jerk once in a while from the water slashing.

This unit is not something a DIY-er should be doing. Along with any remote start for that matter. Unless you work on cars frequently and have access to a lot of electric and car electronics tools I would recommend having this put in by a professional. I will however suggest buying the RS1-G4. The pros out due the cons by far! It took about six hours and we are still working out the kinks. Depending on what you are wanting to do, programming is the easiest part. Crimestopper is a great brand and they give you a ton of options when it comes to how you want your remote start to work (i.e. unlocking doors, locking doors, turning off cars after X amount of minutes ect) If you dont decide to go with Crimestopper I would recommend Viper.

Foot on top not best idea. The base of the unit is not such that you can use your foot like on a chain saw. The spark plug is also right on the top preventing using your knee or something. I'd look at those new battery powered units.

I used this on large Kubota tractors with totally dead batteries and it has enough power to start them. Have been very satisfited with this unit. Much better than jumper cables.

I always have enough power to get the job done without lugging down the engine. The thing about the D110 though, is that it isn't really built to do more than mow and tow a trailer. It does both of these tasks very well, but it cannot take many attachments, and in a way, I wish I had purchased the next larger one... it would have been more useful.

I like to leave it plugged up to maintain the full charge. but this is a good powerful jump box. I used it to start my diesel tractor in 0 degree wheather . I left mine unplugged for about 3 weeks and it still had a full charge in it. this is a way better product than the cheaper jump boxes. it is worth the extra money in my opinion.

Im also on my second battery. I like this mower, its quiet and does a clean mow. Question: Will it help if I totally drain the battery? Or will it just muck it up worse? Thanks.

The unit should work without battery, however it is rather exotic to be used just as a DC power supply, and it is a switching power supply, so the startup current of the lift may overload it. I would suggest adding a battery even just a small tractor battery to handle this. Also if you had a power failure, the lift would work as emergency backup

Arron, Hello from Georgetown Texas. I have a Hustler FasTrak Super Duty 60" that weighs in at 885#. I am not a commercial guy just a home owner with a lot of grass to mow. The Pro-Lift works great with my mower. I do probably over engineer it's use by putting jack stands under the front end once I get it in the air, none the less, the lift works great for me. Hope this helps.

If the blower works properly, raise the skis before it snows so that the cutting blade stays above your gravel. You should not have a problem. If your drive turns to mud and ruts, you may have to ift over the ruts by pushing down on the handles. However, I bought one from Amazon them selves and it pulled very hard to the right. Local Husqvarna shop looked at it, agreed with me but said the factory would not warranty it. I talked to Amazon and they sent me an entire new blower. It is worse. Be careful where you buy one. I originally had one I bought locally. It is a straight running, good machine. I bought the second one for my cabin in the forest. It does the job but is a lot more work.

When I purchased the unit it included everything that you need..cable, hand crank, and it works very well with pulling my Grady White 272 loaded with fuel. The remote works but I prefer the switch on the unit. I recommend this unit. Good luck. Other input....I do not recommend using any "power outlet" at the rear of vehicle due to small size of wires....once the unit is pulling you will easily exceed current carrying capacity of small wires and you may end up either burning the wires (possible fire) or overheating the motor on the unit, etc. I use jumper cables from the battery in my SUV or I put a spare battery form my other car in the back of my SUV when I am pulling my boat.

You have to plan for it. If you run over the cord you can easily cut it. Since it doesn't throw snow as far as a gas model you have to plan ahead anyways. Start on one side and throw the snow where you'll be going next, reverse at the end of the drive and turn the chute. Generally keeps the cord out of the way.

You should be able to run it right away. I ran it for about 5 to 10 minutes after first assembling it. Then when the snow came, I started it and began clearing snow right away. By the way, "full-power" is decided by the snow-blower. Unlike the older models, there's no idle-speed adjustment while you're operating it. The "power" needed is set by the engine's governor: if you have light snow the engine labors less; if you have heavy snow, the RPMs stay about the same, but the engine increases power output to keep up the RPMs.
