Have you considered an electric mower - they are generally a lot lighter
than gas powered and therefore much easier to push - and of course, the
starting problem is eliminated.

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
Chet
