Which mower would be the best choice?
 

I have a small yard with a slight slope in the back, and am looking for an
inexpensive mower. The two listed are at a local store for the same price,
however, the Yard-Man comes with a bag & the lawn boy wants 70.00 more for
the bag. Which would be the best choice?

Thanks,
RF

Lawn boy probably has a better record for lasting a long time. You should
expect a mower to last 15 years or longer.

I live in Florida where mowing is hard on mowers - length of mowing season,
lots of sand to wear down blades, get into engine - however I can envision
other location where "things" can be real hard on mowers - such as rocks,
heat, etc. You just need to annually fix-up the mower with an oil/filter
change and new blades if you need them. After about ten years you may need
to rebuild the carburetor ($20), maybe replace some wheels, etc.

So your per year cost of owning a mower is pretty low - even if you spend
$500.

Honda. Still run an HR 214 HB SX that's over 20+ years old. In
that time: four spark plugs, 3 paper filters, annual oil changes, 3 clip
bags (just bought a new one), gasoline, two new blades, four tire treads,
two generic hinge bolts and a minor repair to the blade guard (a metal strip
and four pop rivets). Has always started first time, everytime .. . no
winterizing or anything. Probably more $expensive$ than the Yardman etc.
and also less frustrating. If your lawn is that small you might want to
consider an electric, rechargable mower (no gas, oil or fumes).
