So, in other words, we should drop this idea? :-) OK. How about this?

Quiet, don't have to push it, and you can go into the cheese business if you
choose to.

I know what you mean, but the reel mowers are quite a bit lighter than a
power mower. However, I think they're best for long, straight mowing where
you can maintain a constant speed. For weird corners, they can be less
than
spectacular.

I couldn't immagine pushing a lawnmower ever again. I do enjoy taking my
walk around the yard, but I'm not going to be pushing something as well.

Haven't used one in 20 years. The one I had did a good job of cutting,
except in tight spaces where I couldn't get enough speed to make the
reels
turn fast. Maybe there are better ones now.

Depending on your tastes, the current generation of human-powered reel
mowers might be an option. Quiet, easy to start, and some are very
light too.

I chucked the bagging rotary. And enjoy a few minutes' exercise
smelling the grass.

We've become addicted to cheap energy.
