My yard is flat, about 0.4 acre, relatively few obstructions (at this
time,
but my wife has me planting more every year! :-) ).

With that size yard, have you considered the battery powered electrics?
No pollution, quieter, no fire hazard, etc.. And they do come self-
propelled, although that obviously uses up the battery power quicker.

Who makes a rechargeable self-propelled mower? That sounds exactly like
what my mother needs.
