1. Yup.

It's a reel mower. Pretty good for trimming, but not very good for the tall stuff.

2. I've been using the same push mower for over 20 years

It still starts on the 1st or 2nd pull every time.

3. for the yard, yes.

4. Yes. It's good exercise. I buy the cheapest ones available and abuse them.

5. I cannot believe we use to play with them as children.

[Brother Buzz]

6. Yes

800 square feet of pool table flat lawn. I can mow my lawn faster then most fools can fill their damn mower with gas.

18. I think I saw that in a nightmare I once had. I was being chased by it.

8. I use

this for an acre or so... (lots of plantings to mow around)



but would just as soon use this if my lawn was even...

9. We did until last spring.

We've been overseeding with native grasses and clover since we bought this house, and last spring, it finally managed to out-compete the blue grass. Our native grasses are heavy-stemmed bunch grasses and the push mower couldn't hack it anymore. Now we have a corded electric. Same amount of push required, but we can let it get longer.

10. You're talking about a human-powered mower, right?

Without a motor?



I used them when I was a kid in the 50s and 60s. I've had a fear of motorized mowers ever since seeing my father lose part of his thumb while cleaning a gas mower when I was small. I bought a push mower to mow my back yard from Sears about 12 years ago. It works great if you keep it oiled and is good exercise.

17. the new blade design are kick ass...

11. I mow over 4 acres, so hell no!

12. All the mystery plants in my "lawn" are far too tough.

I use an electric mower and a hundred foot extension cord.

[PuffedMica]

14. Yeah, they all start out at 100 feet

But after a few splices, you are mowing with a 93 and half foot cord.

[Broken_Hero]

13. Yes, only for the front yard though.

the front yard has to many stone/flower/shrub areas for our riding lawnmower to navigate, so I push mow the front yard(takes about 20 minutes).

15. I love the sound if a push mower!

And clean up with a push broom sounds pretty good too.

[madrchsod]

16. yes...

used one till around the mid 60`s.
