I am looking for a rear bag lawnmower for my brother who is a handicap, he
can walk behind the mower, was looking for an electric start, but trashed
the idea when I told him the weight, so now I am shopping for a self
propelled with controlled speed and a rear discharge in a leightweight,
but mainly one that is the easiest to pull to start. he can only use one
arm to start, he has had a few that he has problems such as the rope start
on the handle bars or one that the mower moves all over when trying to
start it, pull start must be on the engine and VERY easy to pull any
suggestions

thank you

Good day Chet. I would look into the toro personal pace mower. It's rear
wheel drive and it only drives when you push the handle. The mower's speed
ranges from 0 to 4.8 mph. There is an electric start model that sells for
about $400.00. The mower has a 2 year warranty.

Honda also makes a electric start but it sells for a few hundreded dollars
more. What I like about the toro over the honda for your brother's
situation is the personal pace drive system. The personal pace system will
allow him to go at what ever speed he is comfortable with instead of a
fixed speed which may end up draging him around the lawn.

Good luck and hope all works out well for you.
