re: Best bang for buck push mower

Honda push mower light enough compared to the self propelled that it won’t kill you? I’ve never had a non self-propelled.

If you get the big wheels and cut your grass routinely then yes. They are lighter because they have a smaller engine and less parts obviously. But, if you miss a week or whatever due to vacation then a push is harder going through the long grass.

I’ve also said before that propelled mowers are faster usually, they often basically pull you faster then you would walk otherwise. Push mowers only go so fast as you push it obviously. If one has a pretty small yard a push mower is probably better, but on yards closer to 1/2 acre lots or bigger depending on how much grass you have a propelled mower is better.

Eta: the other thing is if you bag? Push mowers suck to push with a bag.
