Power up

At an anniversary party Sarlo Power Mowers hosted in May in its Fort Myers headquarters, it embarked on a mission to find out who owned the oldest Sarlo mower.
A North Fort Myers couple came in with a mower that's more than 50 years old and still runs perfectly.
That shouldn't be a surprise: After 80 years in business, the company is the oldest lawn mower manufacturer in the country under single ownership. Sarlo mowers are renowned for their durability and craftsmanship, which is a big reason why customers like the Florida Department of Corrections uses hundreds of the machines for prisoner work on roadways. Sarlo is engine maker Briggs and Stratton's oldest continuous customer.
