Suggestions on a good lawn mower?

best lawn mower under $350 image

Kristen L

Hello, I need to buy a lawn mower for my yard. My yard is under an acre but is sloped in the front and has a slight hill in the back yard area. Most of the yard is grass and not tree, so there is a substantial amount of grass to mow. We now have a service that does it for us, but to cut costs and get exercise I am now looking for a new mower. my question is..what are the best brands of mowers that I can get affordably? I need one that is self propelled due to the hills and a side mulcher instead of a bagger would be helpful. I have looked into Lawnboy and craftsman and unsure of the quality. I would love to own a ride on mower however they are too pricey and my range is more like 350 and under. Also any tips if I try to find a used machine as far as what to look for? I have been looking at Home Depot, Lowes, Sears, and Walmart..unsure where it is best to buy one. Any suggestions or ideas are appreciated. Thanks!

Toro Self Pace mower is the best thing out here in my opinion. My yard is about the same size as yours and I love it. It adjusts to what ever speed you want to walk, it is a mulcher, side discharge, and bagger all in one. Everyone sells them, If you have a Costco membership, they have it now.

Also when I do my yard it is equivelent to walking 3.5 miles... great exercise...

How can someone under 16 make money?

I really want a new computer. Its going to cost me about 850$ i can probably get $350 of that from relatives/mom. I'm still $500 short and wandering how i could make that? I'm good with computers, and don't really live in place where i can mow lawns, or baby sit, or do the "stereotypical" jobs of a 14 year old. Most of which are like things you probably did as a kid and are irrelevant...(no one hires a 14 year old to mow the lawn when they can hire professional mowers that have a fancy riding lawn mower, and will do it for the same price, do a better job, and faster). Or like babysitting for example, people are so paranoid these days that there is no way they would leave their beloved child with a 14 year old for a couple hours... Just trying to kill some of the 25 replies I'm going to get saying Babysit/Chores/Mow lawns/paper boy Etc.


Any Tips/Ideas of how i can make some cash would be greatly appreciated!

Prefer something i can do online.

Check out a site called cashcrate. com. I made nearly 90 bucks with them in one month, just from filling out offers and surveys. Check it out, and sign up below if it sounds interesting.

I know I'm glad I did -- I'm on my way to over $100 in a little more than a month.
