If you just buy the cheapest mower in the store, you will get a much better workout. If that isn't why you are doing this, then just pay somebody else to do it.

I will also add that I'm not a huge fan of self-propelled mowers with a lot of topography, but then again I've never used a nice one.
hi this is yla and lsoc from the fit cat swole cat thread. Mowing a lawn is not a "workout".

It's not much of one, but reasons besides exercise and/or tons of free time to fire your lawn guy and push mow your yard every week? :dunno:

Just bought a Honda at Home Depot this weekend to replace our Deere riding mower.  So far I like it.  Also for perspective our lot is 0.5 acres.

Did you know that Honda and John Deere with powers combined is an unstoppable powerhouse!?   :surprised:

I went with this Toro a few years ago due to the Honda engine and have been fairly happy with it.  It has an aluminum deck that is a nice compromise between the heavier steel deck of a Deere and the Honda's composite deck.

I do miss my old Lawn Boy when mowing around the swing set and other crap in the back yard, those old Lawn Boy's with the offset front wheel are hard to beat as a trim mower.

mine is also red! i got it at sears 10 years ago. they were trying to sell me a more expensive one but this thing was sitting there for like 25% off or something because it was a customer return so i just bought it instead. still works!

Get rid of your lawn.

Native, drought-resistant landscaping is really the only ethical way to go.
