Can anyone provide some advice when looking for a used lawn mower ?
My current issues is both my mowers, are REALLY hard to start. Last year I could only get one to work, the year before the other one. But in every instance, it was a whole lot of pulling, like 10 minutes worth to get them started.
I have a small yard. Looking for a mulcher.
If I find a self propelled, is that something that's easy to deactivate ? Ive never used one and pushing my mower isn't as bad as the small spaces & turning & such.
Will big back wheels help or hurt ?
Found one on craigslist.
Troy-bilt push mower w/ Honda motor. Used for one summer.well maintained.
He wants $100.
Fair ?
Thanks for any & all help.
Answer
I know you said you are looking to buy a used one, and while $100 seems like a great deal, be cautious when you buy used machinery. While they are a bit more expensive, new mulching lawnmowers cost around $300-$500, which is pretty reasonable, they will come with a a warranty and will probably last you much longer.
And this way you can get it with the exact specifications YOU want instead of browsing through tons of different ones on craigslist.
You also mentioned that one of the problems you had was that it was hard to start. You might want to look into an electric starter as opposed to a manual one. They are roughly the same price and the ease to start them can make all the difference.
The benefits to having a self propelled lawnmower are that you don't have to push nearly as hard. You still have to push it though. It adds a lot of benefit on hilly areas and makes it a lot easier.
Lots of peopleI know have said that the Snapper mulcher works great, very reliable and is very reasonably priced.
I will put a couple links below for you to look at with all sorts of information on how to choose the right mower for your needs and a couple of different sites with reasonably priced mowers.
Good luck!

I have 2.5 acres....both gentle hills and a huge sloped area. Yard is rough in some areas. What is the best mower. I really like the John Deere zero turns, but I am afraid they will not handle the rough areas and slopes well.
riding lawn mower, lawn tractor, garden tractor....same thing.
Answer
i have a 1977 wheelhorse 10 hp riding mower. i bought it a couple of years ago because i owned one before. as far as i can tell you cannot hurt this mower. my suggestion would be to buy an older mower that still runs well. they are built much stronger than todays mowers and they are inexpensive. also if you are mechanically inclined you can repair most breakdowns yourself. no electronics, no computer. just basic mowers. and by the way, i also have 2 acres, some hilly, some rough. no problem for my wheelhorse.
