Manual mower?

Question

I am considering getting an old fashioned manual push mower. I just moved and the backyard is tiny. It hardly seems worth firing up the gas powered mower for a lawn the size of a two car garage. Does anyone have any experience with these old fashioned but enviro friendly mowers? Are they difficult to use or maintain? I found one at a home center for about $70.

Answer 1

Depending onhow small the lawn is it may work out ok.  They are ok for small lawns, not that difficult to use but must keep blades sharp.  th eprice $70.00 is good I have sen them for around $90.00.  Have you considered an electric mower?

Answer 2

Manual mowers are wonderful for small yards. As long as you make sure to keep the blades sharp & not rusty, it will work forever for you. It will be much cheaper than the gas & upkeep on a gas mower. I did some checking online & $70 is a very good deal. Some types of these mowers are going for almost $300. I would definitely get it.
