seem to have the handle that is mounted in the middle of the mower that
'pivots' any more, i.e. you can't push the mower in one direction, flip
the handle over and mow back in the other direction. They all seem to
have a the handle mounted at the "back" of the mower so you have to
turn the mower around to travel back in the same direction from which
you've come.

Is this some new design requirement? Seems annoying to me.
