I've had a craftsman rear-bagger push mower (not sure of the model) with
normal size rear wheels for 3 years now and it hasn't missed a beat. It
starts first pull every time. The only maintenance I do is to brush it off
after each use (mostly to keep rotting grass smell out of the garage) and I
sharpened the blade and replaced the oil at the start of it's third cutting
season. I'll drain the gas and wash it down at the end of each cutting
season.

Jon- How big is your property approximately? Also, do
you mulch as well, if yes, does it work well for you?

About 1/4 acre and flat. Takes about 40 minutes to cut the grass. I use the
bag for most of the cuts, but will let it mulch every once in a while if I'm
in a hurry. The mulching blade cuts it pretty small but makes the deck and
wheels harder to clean. If the grass is pretty high and the deck gets a lot
of mulch build-up it can bog down the mower.
