Yeah, most stores I know would fill a brand new lawn mower with gas and
oil and let a prospective customer go outside and launch stones at cars
and children.

Big Box stores won't, but many traditional equipment dealers do have a
demonstrator for the more popular models. Of course, there is usually a
price tradeoff.

Our local HD will let you take a spin in the parking lot, for whatever
good that tells someone. I'd rather test one cutting 12" tall bahia.
