High wheel push mower

Got to thinking with all of these lawnmower threads when I was young, we had high wheels push mowers. They were very easy to turn and push with the large rear wheels. Have not seen any in a while.

My pa-pa had an old Yazoo. He used to babysit me as a boy. I've been drug around the yard trying to tame that bad bitch more than once. He used to let me run his tiller as well. He'd sit back and smoke a More cigarette and laugh his arse off at me.

We never had the self propelled, only the kid propelled. They were easy to push.

I hate even looking at that picture. I spent way too many hours behind one of those.

They're starting to bring them back. I bought mine a few years ago and it isn't self propelled. The box even said larger rear wheels for easier turning or something like that. They're not as large as the ones pictured but definitely larger than my previous one.

We didn't have one of those, but the shop where we got our cheap mower repaired in Kosciusko, MS sold them. They were the push mowers that professionals used.
My grandfather got a Comet Snapper not long after those days. Seems like it was the Cadillac of riding mowers back then.

Thanks. Refurbished it a year or so ago. I like old shite....That's why I sold my Yamaha Rhino and bought two three wheelers

Yeah. Me too. I grew up south Louisiana cutting my Dad's 1 acre lawn & pasture probably 10 years or so with a Yazoo almost the same as pictured. Shared that duty with my 4 year younger brother and Dad.
Mower very easy to push. Could turn it on a dime. Very stable, even pushing it horizontally at about a 45 degree slope cutting huge, deep highway ditches in front of our house. Absolutely a dream to use push style lawnmower, even though the cut was probably only 24" or so.
Still, these days don't get one of these easy to push large rear wheel mowers like an old Yazoo dependable model unless you have maybe 1/4 acre or less to cut. IMO. Get a riding lawnmower sized for your acreage. To repeat, IMO. More fun with rider. Again, unless you are cutting a condo sized lawn.
