We close on our first house March 30th and we are total newbies to homeownership. One of our first purchases should be a lawn mower. The house sits on just over a third acre. What should we look for in a lawn mower? Not even sure where to start. What makes a good lawn mower? Is a rider worth it?
Answer
Depends on your preference. If you want to walk, a push mower would be fine. If you want it to be a little quicker and easier, a rider would do. You should also know what type of grass you have. St. Augustine grows faster and needs cutting weekly during season, while bermuda would grow a little slower, and zoysia even slower. You may need to mow weekly, or every 2 or 3 weeks depending on the grass. The less often you have to mow it the more a push mower makes sense. And with some grass types, such as zoysia or rye, you do want to use a catcher to bag the clippings.

Answer
does it keep running if you leave it over pavement
say.....2 or 3 minutes?
if so it may be that you are trying to cut too much grass at once for the power of the mower
raise the height of cut to the tallest level
try mowing at that height,
go slowly and empty the bagger often
then lower the height and mow the yard immediately in another direction. keep mowing and lowering until you have the grass at a height that is better for the grass and works for the mower
when the grass is so tall and thick that it builds up under the cutting deck it slows the blade and bogs down the motor which can make it die.
if the grass is hydrated but the turf is not wet and soggy it will cut cleaner and easier.
what kind of grass is it?
zoysia and bermuda are extremely thick and hard to cut right now
like cutting a phone book with fingernail scissors
