Although if the grass is still somewhat wet, and high, the tires sometimes have problems gaining traction going uphill when I first start a pass, but that was mostly just down by the pond and barn.

It’s now in a few pieces, but I can feel some large chunks now missing in at least one of the blades. Everything still cuts fine, but I suppose it means I won’t be able to sharpen them when they get dull.

The first time Carol’s brother drove ours he almost ran into the back of his car, ran over some phlox, and gave the lawn a G.I. haircut in many areas!

We have a very small yard, 0.44 acres, in a subdivision and I always resisted buying one for that reason. But, the bargain Andy found for us changed my mind. Also, the last time I mowed with our push, self-propelled mower,the HEAT and HUMIDITY here in Georgia almost did me in.

Very nice. BUT please be careful! After reading the owners manual for ours navigating hills can be very dangerous. As always, I am a worrier. I want my only son-in-law to be safe.

Andy found a smaller riding mower (30″) on the website for us here in Georgia, $183!!! He is a website bargain hunter extroadinaire!
