We're building a new house that will have a sizeable sodded lawn. I've got it in my head that I want to push mow it, primarily to keep from tearing up the grass with a heavy riding mower, but also to achieve a prettier cut (with striping). I've noticed the Toro Timemaster (a 30" cut), that's what I'm leaning towards right now. Any of y'all have other suggestions?....it appears some of these bigger push mowers can get insanely expensive (I've seen them over $3,500). Any of y'all push mow a pretty big yard? Your thoughts?

If you’re wanting to push mow I would go with a Honda HRX or HRC model. The cut quality on the commercial exmark and toro push mowers is not as good in my opinion. Honda by far has the best cut quality especially when mulching. It has dual blades and cuts it up very fine

I'd go with Exmark but that's just me if you are needing a 30".


A mans got to know his limitations.

The main thing is to change the direction of your stripes every cut. This keeps the tires from causing ruts

What is sizeable? I cut about a little under 9.5 acres not including the pond and house.

Well it'll probably be about 1/2 acre or slightly bigger, but I'm talking about doing it with a push mower.

I have the Toro 30", it cuts great. I have electric start on mine, which is nice. It comes with a bagger, mulch kit and discharge chute.
I also have a 36" Toro walk behind with Jungle Wheels, it has a nicer cut then my 52" Zero turn.

Pushing a lawnmower is therapy for some. Especially for those who live on a small parcel.

Honda all the way. That’s what I have. Starts the first pull.

Push mower....get the Toro from home depot for $359. Or the Honda which is even more expensive.

Those ain't but 22in cut

I got a nice 30in cub cadet walk behind that I love. It's made well and is strong. I'd get one of those or a toro walk behind.
