[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2970069, member: 9374"] We've been paying a local kid for the last 6 or 7 years, but now my son is old enough in my opinion to start taking over. I need to get him a basic push mower. I don't want a self-propelled one - for one, I don't want to pay the extra money, and for another, he could use the exercise to help him build some muscle mass and strength. He's not overweight like his dad, luckily, but he's a small skinny kid (like I was at his age) and could use the strength training. We have about a 1/3 acre lot with fairly small, moderate slopes. Nothing overly taxing. We definitely want to bag the clippings - I've talked to my wife about it, and she is adamant. Our budget is around the $200 mark. We checked out Lowe's, Tractor Supply, Atwood's and Wally World today. Nothing spectacular there, but then, in that pricerange, you wouldn't expect much. We don't want a bunch of bells and whistles, just a solid bagging system, strong motor with good pull start and a strong handle - I remember in my younger days fighting with the crappy handles on some cheap-ass mowers that just kept breaking or wouldn't stay tightened down. Any recommendations for a gem in the weeds? ;) [/QUOTE]
