My petrol lawn mower that I purchased from a dealer in town has outrun all the mowers that I have ever owned. I think that it must be at least ten years old and it looks like it but as long as I just have it tuned up every spring and the blade sharpened then it starts every year and runs like a champ. I may have to think about having some type of body work done to it since it is a bit rusty but I would not trade this lawn mower for any other brand in the world.

I grew up having to push a big heavy rotary lawn mower and would not wish that kind of work on anyone. I know that our yard was the biggest one on the block and everyone else had a petrol lawn mower and we did not. I think that my father used to always make me mow because I was the only boy and there was no way that my sisters could have mowed our yard completely with the rotary lawn mower.

When I had the chance to buy my own mower shortly after buying my own house, I was very proud to push around the petrol lawn mower and mowing did not seem like such a chore anymore.
