Push Lawn Mower?

[baddonkey]

I dont know when ppl got so lazy that they couldn't manage to push a lawn mower over their tiny square of lawn.

Doesn't make sense.

Those government workers that have to mow 100 of yards of grass. They have the lawnmower ride.

but otherwise, residential should stop wasting gas and electricity.

I've got an acre of grass... I haven't pushed a mower to cut it since I was a kid, The John Deere works just fine thank you

Gene Wilder laying beside the sheep in bed, (the sheep had fishnets on too) smoking a cig after the deed and Gene with wistful lust in his eyes... what movie was that? I think it was "Everything you wanted to know about sex(but were afraid to ask)".

and the other good thing about lawn mowers these days is that they are 4 stroke,(and I fail to see the humour in that term) not 2 stroke engines thereby reducing polluting exhaust.

There was an article in last weeken's paper (Star) discussing & rating the various push mowers available. The article may be online.

There's five reviews but only 4 piks (despite the caption at the bottom of the pik listing 5)...

Never used anything but a push mower for thirty or so years. Every one of them came free from someone who was retiring it. Just keep your eyes open on garbage day as you go about your business.

They're very simple machines, with nothing much to go wrong. Beyond oiling and sharpening, almost no maintenance required, and as for fuel—you were going to eat anyway, weren't you.

Lee Valley Tools has several modern makes, and the German Gardena™ line of garden tools includes a nice one. I prefer the older cast models, like the Suffolk™ to the new lightweight stamped/sheet metal ones which seem to bounce and skip around instead of getting down to serious cutting.

I live in the city, and admit that if my lawn were bigger than the postage stamp size it is...I'd probably change to a power mower. But I do use mine at my parent's place sometimes, (they have a bigger lawn about 75' X 35', and it only takes me 1/2 hour to cut their lawn. True though, you don't want to try if the grass is really long.

LOL I thought for a second there, amazon's selling SHEEP online?

LOL sorry, I just got up and haven't had my morning coffee yet...DOH

Wait a sec, weren't you the one cautioning us that speaking of sheep would bring out the wacko's?

Or is this a case of "take's one to know one" sort of thing......

Gas mowers make too much noise, they should all be banned

Oh yeah, we have a pro lawn service cutting our lawn.

Bend over and get a Gardenia - either a push model or the electric reel type push model that is rechargable - the best is always worth it!!!

push movers suck big time. I had one for my tiny yard for about 4 years and it really sucked as far as doing a half way decent job. I don't sweat the gas---the bloody lawnmower won't go through much cutting my tiny lawn and I'll be done 4 times as fast.
