Re: Best push mower in the \"low priced\" catagory?
</font><font color="blue" class="small">( I could easily spend 99 dollars on whatever Walmart has on special, but would I be replacing it every other year? )</font> No, I have 5 years on my $99 Walmart special. It is a 19", 3.5 hp Yardman, B&S engine, side discharge, no throttle control. Just a primer ball at the engine and spring arm kill switch at the handle, wheel height adjustment is moving the axles to a different hole in the 1 piece stamped deck, This thing is so simple there in nothing to break except the engine which is steel not aluminum. I gave up my self propelled rear bagger push mower when I left suburbia and regretted not having a push mower shortly after, too much trimming with the weedwacker. I don't believe the mower I sold would tolerate the abuse this little 19" has taken without some major malfunctions, and the parts would probably cost me more than I paid for the little yardman.
