A self-propelled mower is a smart investment when you have a large yard, slopes to mow, or difficulty with mobility. To cut the grass on a 10,000sq.ft. lawn, just ¼-acre in size, means you’ll be walking between one to two miles. That may not sound too bad until you factor in the weight of your mower. If it’s a walk-behind push mower, you could be exercising with a 100-pound weight in front of you. A self-propelled mower pushes all that weight for you. All you need to do is steer.
