smerchly Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 Since the 'old man' is moving in on me I spotted this lawnmower at H.H. that is only 30" wide & will pass through my gate to cut both front & back yards . I went to .H.H. to check it out and ask if I could order one , but alas , they checked their warehouse and none in stock , and no prospects to get more but there 'was' one available at Waterdown ! HA ! IT'S ON SALE NOW ! ? The stores have sales and run out of stock the same day . I believe they would prefer us to shop on line ?? In that case , we might as well deal directly with China and skip all the middle handler costs . Wadduhyathink ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markster Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 I don’t know how big your lawn is, but Would you be better off simply contracting a lawn service? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an option Mark but I would prefer to do most of the chores myself . My grass area is about 50' x 80' plus all the trimming , about an hours work . Doing my snow tire changeover today , two vehicles , maybe do one another day . NO MORE SNOW !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markster Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 I hear ya Bill. I’m the same way, but at the price of that cool looking thing you could probably contract a lawn service for the next 5-6 years and break even. I use an old john deere 160 tractor myself. That thing keeps on going and does a fantastic job. smerchly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genec Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 Another option is do what I did and switch gas push mower to self-propelled electric. So nice now to just walk behind it and let it do the work! From the size of your lawn you would need one with 2 batteries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted April 7 Author Report Share Posted April 7 A self propelled electric would be nice with a 20" blade . My mower has a Honda engine with a Troy-Bilt body , good machine but NOT as quiet running as I expected from a Honda . After my boat is gone from the driveway soon I may consider a larger riding mower or a contractor since the wide gate can be opened easily. ....2 tires on , 2 to go ....BEAUTY DAY , enjoy ! 🌞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
