Need to replace my mower - need sugguestions

9 years ago

I have a yard of approx 6000 sq'. There's no way you can mow it without going uphill half the time - not a big hill but I'm 62 years old and ready for a self-propelled walk behind. I've looked at several and (to my eye) the only material difference is the engine - B&S, Kohler or Honda. Of course, self-propelled mowers have more going on than push mowers so I may be missing a lot.

Any suggestions will be most appreciated.

With a self propelled, the weakest part is the drive system so you will want to look for a good quality machine with a strong drive system. Personnally I am very fond of my Snapper Ninja.
