I want to buy a self propelled lawn mower preferably gas.
Something that adjusts to my walking pace and has a bag (side or rear) Also can someone explain what the difference a side or rear bag would male.
My lot is a flat lot about 0.3 acres. My budget is around 400-600 dollars
Answer
Troy-Bilt $379.00
7.75 Torque 21" Self-Propelled Gas Mower
Item #: 303531 Model: TB340 XP
This is a very good mower where the self-propelled speed is determined by how fast you walk. Its a commercial mower at a home owner's price.
Rear bag verse side bag: Well first off its hard to find a side bagger these days, they're just not popular and here's why. Rear baggers were designed so that if you have several obstacles in your yard, (trees ETC...) you can maneuver around them from either side without changing directions, the down side is side bags are a little larger (not much). That's about it.

Lawn Tractor vs Good Hand Lawn Mower?

Would a lawn tractor be better to have or a good hand lawn mower for a 0.75 acre lot? new to the lawn mowing thing.
Thanks!
thank you all for your input
Answer
I highly recommend the hand mower.
TIME COMMITMENT:
I am able to mow my two acre lot with a hand mower in less than an hour, so mowing your .75 acre lot with a hand mower will be quick and easy. Using a lawn tractor wouldn't save you much time to mow a lot of your size.
PRICE:
Hand mowers are cheaper across the board. You can get a top of the line hand mower for $400, while a similar quality in lawn tractors will cost you at least $1200.
EASE OF USE:
Hand mowers are incredible simple machines; anyone can operate one with little instruction. Lawn mowers take considerably more skill and trial-and-error to be able to use.
MAINTENANCE:
This is where hand mowers truly shine.
- Hand mower parts are less expensive, from my experience. I've spent less than $30 on my hand mower, but a buddy of mine had to spend well over $100 repairing his lawn tractor less than a year after he got it when its engine failed.
- Because hand mowers are such simple machines, their parts hardly ever fail because so little goes on inside them. Lawn tractors are completely different beasts: they are essentially small, underpowered cars and thus A LOT can go wrong with them. In my mind, you should never need to worry about the transmission of your lawn mower going out.
- It's quick and easy to take a hand mower to a repair shop, but you need a large truck or even a trailer to bring a lawn tractor to a repair shop. That means more time and, if you don't have either a large truck or trailer, more money as you will need to rent one just to get it to the repair shop!
