Unfortunately, we have a steep hill from the front yard to the back and I can't mow on something that legitimately would need a helmet. That does remind me of my uncle that decorated his riding mower to look like his favorite NASCAR car. Roland, that’s a great Easy Rider mower.

I always thought it looked like too much work. heh!! I guess it wouldn't work for hubby. We have 6 acres to mow. I doubt he would want to push mow all of it! But think of the exercise!

Now I can very easily imagine you pushing yours around your yard. You are a foot taller,40 years younger and no gray hair....but the mower works the same. flashback to 1960.

I'm all for that. The only thing that's getting me is the cost. $130+. Really? I'm sure it's pretty lightweight as well, which is a plus. Good idea Mike. I’m all for that.

I’m sure it’s pretty lightweight as well, which is a plus.

He actually managed to bend the blades once when he hadn't mowed for a few weeks! But otherwise, he loved it. I've considered getting us one of those, but with a self-propelled mower it takes us at least two hours to do our lawn. That's already two hours too long and I'm not willing to give up any more time on it (or time with my family/husband when he mows). Although, when it's time for a new mower maybe we can get two of those for the less than a regular one and both work on it (or get the boys to help). :) My Dad had one of those several years ago when they lived in Arizona and didn’t have much grass.
