I do admit a push mower makes the yard look better after cutting.
Less of a footprint.
However I like my 48-inch deck John Deere!
Still takes me an hour and a half.
My yard has been mostly brown but is green again after nearly a week of rain this past week.
While I like to get out there and ride around on one of my toys and get away from the blackberry, I have hay fever allergies so that takes all fun out of it.

Should have seen me when I 1st brought my Kubota ZD326 Zero turn home. I'm from old school. I went in house and told wifey a drunkard cuda cut a straighter line. But now I could never go back to tractor style Mowers.

I grew up cutting grass with those old cast iron reel push mower. Best cutting mower ever made.
