Default Does it harm a self propelled mower to be pulled back with thedrive disengaged?

Almost eveyone has areas, under trees for example, where you need to
do this.


While a self power mower might seem like a good idea, I think a much better
one is to get a lighter mower.

I had an old lawnboy, all plastic, that lasted years and was MUCH lighter
than any other mower I've ever had. Wish I could find another.


They are history now. That lightweight 2 cycle engine could not pass the
new emission standards. It was a good one....
