Lawnmowers....Push or Rider?
 
Which is the best mower. A push mower, or a ride mower?

Re: Lawnmowers....Push or Rider?
 
Depends on the size of the yard and the terrain.

I also have such a little bit to mow that a rider is not worth the gas to start it up. Of course, I have a son that needs to build his muscles up, so he has been elected to be my lawn guy. :D


I have joked with him about getting a big huge 60 inch cut mower so he can just start it, drive to the other end of the yard, and turn it off. hehehe!

2 words: John & Deere (and no, I never received one of those letters:))

Nothing runs like a deere!

when you run out of gas, all mowers are pushers.

I can't vote. Basically we have to use a riding mower, but sometimes we need to use our push mower and weed eater.

My lawn guy uses a riding mower.

What about blade height? Is this one of those things nobody wants to talk about? One of those questions you aren't supposed to ask?

I believe in using the highest setting (probably because I'm liberal)...

I have a self-propelled walk behind, but am really considering a riding mower. My yard is a big headache, but I just built a gate in my back onto the bayou behind my house and I will probably start cutting the grass behind my property...... ("Probably" being the most important word of this post)

I use a push mower; however, it does not have a motor. I use one of those ol' timey powerless mowers because I cannot afford the gas.

Our lawn is 'mostly' brown. Day after day of 100+ days will do that. Even with built in twice-daily sprinklers!

Our "lawnmower" is a Tractor with a 6 foot wide mowing attachment.....those other wimpy mowers won't cut it! hehe

My lawn guys bring a push mower.....out of the garage when needed. My 9 adn 10 year old boys cut grass.... They thinks it's "fun". *sigh* but that was when they cut grass in Minnesota...It was a lot cooler there than it is here in Kansas!
