Default Buy new mower

**********

I want to buy a new mower, that fits my specs.

1. High Rear Wheels
2. Gas Filter
3. Choke Controls
4. Throttle
5. Adjustable Handle (for operator height)
6. On/Off kill switch
7. Safety handle by-pass
8. Power Propelled
9. Rotary blade

Any suggestions where I might go to buy this in USA.

The closest I can come is the DR Field.
I have an old one now,
but need a smaller machine for the wife.

Forget the mower; where do you get a wife that mows the lawn? g

NOTE! High wheels ONLY good for large flat golf course like areas!, on
hills etc big wheels are a pain!

Ideally the mower you choose has a blade clutch, let go of handle,
mower drops to idle blade stops.

this saves restarting mower every time you let go to do something like
empty bag.

Mine wife does every since I bought her a 17hp riding model w/ cup holder
& auto transmission. Now I can't get her off of it since I got her the CD
player. It's all in knowing how to spoil them. (c;

Well, so far I haven't found the mower for the wife.
I did see a possibility at Sears, Model 37609.
The wife likes to mow, to burn off steam.
She does about 1/2 acre of flat area, every 2 weeks.
She doesn't use the bag, and sets it at close to high cut.
