If your lot stays soft — low-lying, near the Swatara, or just poorly drained — a heavy rider carves ruts and tears the turf every time it's the least bit wet. Lightweight all-electric equipment (and robots as they roll out) tread far lighter.

Your yard holds water
Low or poorly-drained lots stay soft long after rain.
Heavy mowers leave ruts
Every wet-ground pass carves tracks that don't heal.
Weight is the enemy here
The heavier the machine, the worse the damage on soft ground.
Lightweight electric equipment does far less damage on soft, wet lots — and the ~190 lb robots (2027) are lighter still. And I make honest weather calls: I won't mow when it'll damage your lawn.
