Actually, in my experience as a "lawn maintainance professional," I found that Lawn-Boys were by far the best push-mowers (i.e. non-self-propelled) available. I'm not sure, but they probably go for around $200-$300 these days. The only drawback is that they have 2-cycle engines, so you have to mix oil in with the gas. The 2-cycle engine itself, on the other hand, is far superior to the 4-cycle engine in terms of power and durability. The maintainace required on ours was minimal. We're talking about 30 hours per week running time for months without any problems. If I had to buy a mower, I'd probably go for one of these. -- Randwulf (Randy Haskins); Path= genrad!mit-eddie!rh
