LF: advice on buying a lawn mower

[return to the red]

+1 for Honda, had mine for over 10 years. Takes a few pulls at the start of the year to get er goin but general maintenance and still works great.

Really wish mine had the self propel option though.

FYI - Lowes has a trade in your old lawn mower deal until tomorrow. I just traded in my old 15 year old junker for a new gas power Canadiana. You get up to $100 off depending on the price of the new mower.

If your are really anal about your lawn, the reel type lawn mowers give the best cut. When I was a kid we had a gas powered reel lawn mower until I took the motor off and put it on my go kart. The reel type won't cut dandelion weeds though so you have to take good care of your lawn. I see they still sell electric reel types.

Especially if you're on a slope.

They aren't cheap, but this mower looks awesome.

That's what I want. Something that rolls around my yard and cuts whatever happens to be there.

Reminds me of Robowars

I have the same one as your neighbour. If it should quit on me, I'll get another one. my yard is very large and it has enough juice for the whole thing.
