Suggestions on a good lawn mower?

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...

Answer
I think that the craftsman is a better quality lawn mower, however i have an 82 year old neighbor who has the other one that has large rear wheels, and i have tried it and it is fairly easy to use.
1) i would recommend craftsman if:
* you want for professional-looking job
*long lifespan of mower (higher quality mower)
*small Business or residential

2) I would recommend Briggs and Stratton if:
*you want to get id done quick and easy, and don't mind if your lawn does not look like it was done professional. (im pretty sure this one is lighter than the other one)

I hope this helps! :)

Lawn Mower purchase?

Cyn

I need to buy a new lawn mower. I think I want electric powered because it is quieter and doesn't produce so much pollution as a gas mower.It was suggested that I buy one that is self propelled but I can't find seem to find any. What are your feelings about gas vs electric and push vs self propelled? I want to spend no more than $250 or so. Thank you.

Answer
Trade in your old gasoline-powered mower for a new manual model or an electric corded or rechargeable cordless lawn mower. You'll save time and money-and help the environment.

Manual mowers are excellent for small lawns. They are inexpensive, quiet, easy to maintain and healthy to use.

Electric mowers work well for small to medium lawns. Modern pollution controls required for utility plants make this option much cleaner than gasoline mowers.

Electric mowers are:

Inexpensive to operateâabout $5 per year for electricity.
Easy to maintainâno costly engine tune-ups or messy oil changes.
Cleanâno spilled oil or gasoline, no exhaust fumes, significantly reduced air pollution.
Quietâabout half the noise of gasoline mowers.
Easy to startâpush-button starting, no more yanking on a starter cord.

How can I make money fast?

Answer
As Seen On OPRAH & 20/20 - TURN $6 into $24600
Earn money using PAYPAL as seen on Oprah & 20/20
THE PAYPAL 5 DOLLAR MONEY-MAKING METHOD
AS SEEN ON OPRAH EARN HUGE $$$$$$$$
all you need is:
1) An email address
2) A PayPal account
3) $5.00
Ever since the internet became popular, the word "scam" has become a daily term. I have never once tried any money making "system" outside of this because of that very reason. However, after reading reports on the validity and reputation of this money making system (seen on Oprah, CNN, and other media forums) I decided to give this one a shot... Especially since the so called "risk" is only $5.00. I mean, for the chance, what a joke right? Anyway, only hours after implementing this exact system I about fell out of my chair as money ACTUALLY started rolling in. I couldn't believe it and for that reason, I wrote this intro and became a believer in this system.
WHAT IS IT?
The idea is that of a system that takes advantage of the power of
compounding. And in a big way, let me tell you.
This system is a legit and profitable one. Here is how it works...
Following this EXACT process is what creates the money, and that is why this system
has been raved about in the media. Altering the system creates weak results. The legality of this system comes from the idea that you are of course creating a mailing list, and a "service" is being provided (more on that later.) Now on to how your $5.00 creates BIG money...
INSTRUCTIONS:
STEP 1:
The first thing to do is highlight and SAVE this entire post in word
or notepad on your computer so you can come back to it later.
After that, if you are not already a PayPal user you need to go to
the PayPal website at https://www.paypal.com/us/mrb/pal=6M64MY4Q2Z7L6
and SIGN UP. If you want to be able to receive credit card payments from other
people then you will need to sign up for a PREMIER or BUSINESS account (not a PERSONAL account, it's limited to, $500). This is highly recommended to allow others easy payment options. In order to place the initial $5 into your account, you will have to verify your bank account with PAYPAL (which may take a few days). PAYPAL is 100% secure and is used by millions of people worldwide. If you have difficulty trying to send payment to any of the listed email addresses then skip that address and move on to the next one. This could happen if an individual forgets to upgrade their account to Premier or Business and has reached the limit on their account.
STEP 2:
Here is where the action occurs. The first thing to do is to send a
$1.00 payment to each of the 5 email addresses on the current list
from your PayPal account. To do this quickly and successfully, follow
these simple steps:
1. Login to PayPal and click on the "Send Money" tab near the top of
the screen
2. In the "Recipient's Email" field enter the email address
3. In the "Amount" field enter "1" (This is your $1.00 payment)
4. In the "Category" field select "Service" (Keeping it legal)
5. In the "Subject" field type "EMAIL LIST", and in the "NOTE" field
enter "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR EMAIL LIST". By doing this, you are
creating a service and maintaining the legality of the system by
"paying" for the service.
6. Finally, click on the "Continue" button to complete the payment.
Repeat these steps for each of the 6 email addresses. That's it! By
sending the $1.00 payment to each address, you are implementing the
compounding POWER of the system. You will reap what you sow!
Here is the current e-mail list:
*************************************************
The email list:

1) funny...@live.com
2) off...@vincentstergin.com
3) asiru...@sbcglobal.net
4) angus.ze...@gmail.com
5) ngapo12@gmail.com

************************************************
STEP 2:
Now take the #1 email off of the list that you see above (from your saved file), move the other addresses up (5 becomes 4, 4 becomes 3, etc.) and add YOUR email address (the one used for your PayPal account) as number 5 on the list. This is the only part of the document that should be changed. ** Make sure your email address is the one you have registered with PayPal **
STEP 3:
Post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups or message boards. Keep in mind that there are tens of thousands of groups online! All you need is 200, but remember the more you post the more money you make - as well as everyone else on the list! I've began to see money roll in before I even hit 100 posts, but try to hit around 200 to allow maximum exposure.
Use Netscape, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, or whatever your internet browser is to search for various news groups, on-line forums, message boards, bulletin boards, chat sites, discussions, discussion groups, on-line communities, etc. For example, log on to any search engine like yahoo.com or google.com and type in a subject like 'MILLIONAIRE MESSAGE BOARD', 'MONEY MAKING DISCUSSIO
