Best bang for buck push mower

Have an area in my yard with a ton of tree roots and I’m tired of weed eating for 45 minutes. Not looking to spend a ton of money but don’t want junk either. Anybody know of a decent one/brand for a decent price?

Tree roots, if tall enough are a good way to bend the crankshaft, or possibly split the engine case if the blade hits them hard enough.
You'll at least need to get a mower with quick height adjusting wheels to try to avoid the roots.
I picked up a 22 inch TroyBilt mower with a 140cc engine from Home Depot last year for under $250 and it replaced one similar to it that lasted me almost 13 years until the body rusted out enough to make it not safe to use.

I just bought a Husqavarna (sp?) all wheel drive 21” mower with Honda engine for $419 yesterday. Thought it was a decent deal for the quality of mower it should be.
They make a “push” mower for less too, same specs.

I have a troybilt. It is close to 10 years old. I'm on the 3rd deck because I keep it outside but it still cranks on the first pull.

I have a Toro push mower with a Briggs & Stratton engine that has been starting on the first or second try for the past 10 years. I rarely change the oil in it, too. That thing is a beast and the self-propel still works, too!
Now that I have a much bigger yard I don't use it nearly as much anymore though.

Walk behind field string trimmer they are around $329 in Homedepot and Tractor Supply.
It stays high enough where you should not bust a blade or bend a shaft as it slings .155 string. Now you break a string you replace like a hand held string trimmer.
Basically a string trimmer but on wheels. Brand will vary by the store but again most are in the low $300 range.

I have nothing to offer re: mowers, but have you considered laying down a nice bed of mulch beneath the tree? It will cut down on your weedeating/mowing requirements, the tree will like it, and you can quit battling with the magnolia.
