RAYLAND — Grass mowing season is approaching and those in charge of keeping their lawns respectable are having thoughts of bringing out and firing up the gas-powered push mower or riding mower. There is an alternative for commercial users: A new electric riding mower that can turn on a dime and cut an acre of grass in 90 minutes. The Hustler Zeon is the first electric zero-turn mower ever introduced to the green industry, according to Bob Kimble and his wife, Patty, owners of Ohio Valley Outdoor Power, 3923 county Road 15, Rayland. Ohio Valley Outdoor Power also sells all types of riding mowers, Husqvarna power equipment, chain saws, snow blowers; generators; and Cozeburn outdoor hot water furnaces. The couple recently returned from the Home and Garden Show at the WesBanco Civic Arena, Wheeling, where the Zeon caused a flurry of attention, according to Kimble.
