inexpensive push lawn mower
Comments (1)Aluminum decks are offered on some better quality mowers like the Toro Super Recycler which is one of the best mulchers on the market. However, it is heavier and not inexpensive. As far as engines go, most will serve you well with reasonable maintenance although do suggest you stay away from the Chinese clones. Parts and service are limited....See MoreWhich brand of reel mower is best?
Comments (4)I see you're up in MA -- You most likely have cool season grasses up there. If you're mowing TTTF or KBG or ryes, or blends or mixes of those, then a tall cutting height is very important. I'd definitely recommend the Scotts Classic because it can cut as high as 3" tall. The Brill for example can only cut as high as 1.8" and you definitely should take cutting height into consideration. My 2 cents Good day, Dan...See MoreBest push Mower for under $300?
Comments (1)The engine is only part of the story. Briggs or Honda will serve you well with reasonable maintenance. The deck, blade, and bag design are more important. I have a Honda powered MTD that runs very well but does not cut and bag worth a darn. It stays in the shed, I am trying to get rid of it. My mower of choice is an old Honda HRA215....See MoreBudget push-mowers. Is there a difference?
Comments (9)Kmfisher: Since you seem to be cutting high enough that the grass can side discharge or spray out from under the mower, here are some suggestions that will work for your current mower or even a new one. Most cheap mowers have cheap shallow decks that can allow quick grass buildup underneath which will effect air flow. Buy bigger wheels. A lot of the cheaper fixed axle mowers come with 6" wheels. If you get 7" or 7.5" wheels, that will give you slightly higher clearance with more room for the grass to blow out from the discharge chute or out from under the mower. Get yourself some generic high lift blades. The high lift blades cause more air flow which should help by giving you more force to throw the grass out. Buy a Snapper PUSH model 21" mower that uses the same deck as their self-propelled units. The shape of their deck creates fantastic air flow and I think all of their blades are high lift. Good luck!
