Let us combine efforts to change the HCR system to cut by some factor my COBRA monthly payment of, seriously, $1,340.

I need some lawn mower advice. [View all]	Curmudgeoness	Apr 2013	OP
I've always loved simple reel-type push mowers. Keep the blades sharp and everything oiled.	NYC_SKP	Apr 2013	#1
Maybe the newer ones are way easier than they used to be,	Curmudgeoness	Apr 2013	#2
I always where ear protection when mowing.	NutmegYankee	Apr 2013	#5
I have a neighbor who wears muffs too.	Curmudgeoness	Apr 2013	#8
They are better now, IMHO, and there are self-propelled electrics to be had.	NYC_SKP	Apr 2013	#23
reel mowers	RILib	Apr 2013	#22
Well, I have a partially disabled arm	ConcernedCanuk	Apr 2013	#25

Ever consider a cordless electric?	ConcernedCanuk	Apr 2013	#3
Interesting you should mention that.	Curmudgeoness	Apr 2013	#6
First of all, the cordless is lighter than a gas mower.	ConcernedCanuk	Apr 2013	#10
Good advice.	Curmudgeoness	Apr 2013	#11
I think that I have decided on a cordless electric.	Curmudgeoness	Apr 2013	#24
I have one something like this. It was advertised back then as an 'Easy Start'.	sinkingfeeling	Apr 2013	#4
I did see that one while doing a search.	Curmudgeoness	Apr 2013	#7
I like the older models, sometimes with other jobs, sometimes not. Self-propelled, but	jtuck004	Apr 2013	#9
LOL, I prefer the newer models myself.	Curmudgeoness	Apr 2013	#12
The other two solutions I found were to start growing garlic, which takes up space nearly year-round	jtuck004	Apr 2013	#13
Well, I have expanded garden beds as much as I can.	Curmudgeoness	Apr 2013	#14
One other thought...string trimmer mowers	jtuck004	Apr 2013	#15
I am intrigued, but	Curmudgeoness	Apr 2013	#16
Electric cordless - almost no maintenance, no stink	ConcernedCanuk	Apr 2013	#17
Day-um. Those are pricey. I wouldn't have expected that.	jtuck004	Apr 2013	#18
I did see one of these in Sears today.	Curmudgeoness	Apr 2013	#19
I bought myself a cordless battery powered Black and Decker	NCarolinawoman	Apr 2013	#20
Thanks. This is the one mower I am still looking to find	Curmudgeoness	Apr 2013	#21
Oh - check this out - SOLAR lawnmowers!	ConcernedCanuk	Apr 2013	#26
Very cool.	Curmudgeoness	May 2013	#27
Looking at you OP - Is this the best group to ask????	ConcernedCanuk	May 2013	#28
Good point.	Curmudgeoness	May 2013	#29
Solaris self-powered	Kolesar	May 2013	#30
I really don't want a self-propelled model.	Curmudgeoness	May 2013	#31
"Freewheeling" like the rear hub of a bicycle	Kolesar	May 2013	#32
LOL, you sound like me....	Curmudgeoness	May 2013	#33
A Snapper "rear engine rider" is a great product	Kolesar	May 2013	#34
