Do you mean the old cylinder push mowers. I use to mow a 24 perch block with one of them. It was a circa 1930's style.
I'm still scarred from the experience. |

I love my push mower!! Following growing up dragging 4 stroke mowers up 3 terraces approx 25m via stairs. Always swore I'd never do that with my own place & have been a very happy 'pusher' since we bought this place 10+ years ago. No petrol stored in the house (al;l the other yard equipment is electric) & I can get started nice & early in the summer without ****ing off the neighbours.

Yes. Thankfully, I got wise and put some tennants in my property who now pay me for the privilege of living there and mowing the full half acre by hand. It was *such* a joy over summer, to spend hours slaving in the yard every second weekend, just to keep the place from turning into the Amazon of the Central Coast.
If/when I move back in, I'm redrawing on my mortgage to get a frigging ride-on. End of story.

Kerry, how do you find the push mower? I'm thinking of getting one soon and am leaning towards the push type instead of petrol.
Does it do a good job and is it hard to push around?

Mate it does a great job, it takes a little to get used to but its worth it in the long run.
As long as you get the height right its not hard to push.
