Awesome!! How long does it take to mow your lawn?which model mower is that? I have a lot of slopes so I'm worried about how hard it would be, but would it be worth it to get one??

Honestly, I haven't timed myself on how long it takes to mow the front, which is ~ 5,500 sqft. The back yard is another story. I took my rotary mower out for a spin, and regretted doing that. It scalped my good stand of grass, but did the weeds pretty easily. That's why I can't wait to start levelling.

In total, I'd say it was about 45 minutes or so this time, with a double cut. The grass was naturally thicker, because I was dropping the HOC 1/2". It takes slightly less time when I'm just doing a normal double cut, with criss-cross. The mower is a Scott's Classic 16", which is the mower that Home Depot sells. It is capable of cutting down to 1/2". It's not a workout, but it is work. It's fairly easy to push, and just check the reel-to-bedknife contact every time, and you'll be good. Economical way to get started, and you might be able to pick up a like new unit on Craigslist when people buy them, and realize they don't want to walk. I guess push mowing with an "old school mower" isn't people's cup of tea. To me, I feel like I'm able to control my cut better than a push mower, and I know I have a better cut with the reel vs. rotary.

That's exactly the song I was thinking of when I created the title, but I couldn't remember it, and was too lazy to look it up. However, they are all walking, and not running

Yeah, the dirty sock line was strong last night. Most of this summer (once the grass came in) was done barefoot. No sandal line FTW.
