Default Where to buy a decent priced lawnmower

I need one, push one, preferably gas or rechargable cordless (don't even go there ). Where can I get a good price on a gas lawnmower? I would prefer at least a 18" blade, but would like a 19" blade. Any help is appreciated. Gracias.

You mightalso try checking with a local lawn mower repair shop in your area. Many times, these folks will pick-up non-op mowers,refurbished them, andthen sell them for their parts cost plus a little profit. Also, they will sell older units which customers have traded-in for newer ones. That's what my brother-in-law did when he owned a large landscaping business, and it saved him quite a bitof money.

i agree withlooking athome depot (got my walk behind, self propelled there), but watch out for the window washer girls in the parking lot. whatever you get, if you get gas, make sure it's got a briggs & stratton engine. you can rebuild one in an afternoon, and get parts anywhere. the local lawn mower repair places are a good place to start too, if you don't need brand new and shiny. or even better, get a craftsman rider - mine's got a 42" cut, only takes 2 hours to do the lawn now - vs. 4 with the push mower.

I have a Honda Harmony II quadra-cut...

And a 23 year old Snapper Hi-vac...Best cutting mower in the world..that's why I keep rebuilding it..On its second engine and third set of wheels...Oh it's a walk behind self propelled...I'm the the self that propels it

If I was looking..I'd look for a used Snapper..they can be totoally rebuilt.

I also have a Honda mower. Had it for years and never had a problem. I use a Gravely to mow the big parts of the yard.

I found a gas oneat Menards on sale this weekend for $138 with 22" blades! I couldn't pass it up. Now, if my new grass would just grow, I could try it out! I think the brand name is Yard Machines.
