MTD Yard Man push mower

I really like this mower!!! My favorite part about this mower is the Over Head Cam for the ease of starting. I have yet to pull on the starter more than twice to start it, and I have now had this mower for 2 years.

There is a simple to use choke and a very easy pull start. The power has not at all diminished in the second year. All that I had to do for the mower this year is sharpen the blade, and change the oil. The mower has been acting as if it is in brand new condition still. My last mower was a murray and the second year I had that one I had to take it to a repair shop for a tune-up.

The yard man has been tough, strong and durable! I have to mow about .25 acres every week and this mower is defintely up to the job. This mower has larger rear wheels so it will not get stuck in ruts in the lawn, the smaller front wheels are perfect size for easy steering. It has a good sized 22 inch deck for fewer passes to mow the area. It is also light enough that it does not take alot of effort to push this mower.

The last thing I want to add to this paragraph is that I am really happy that it comes with three discharge options, mulching, side discharge, and the bag, which is a decent sized bag

So far the only down sides to this mower that I have seen is that 224 I wish that it had just a little more horse power for those times when you need to mow the really tall grass. or when mulching.

I have had this Push Mower from Yard Man for about 6 weeks, I have been pleasantly surprised by this mower as I didn't really expect much out of a $200 mower. It does have a Honda engine and a 21" blade, which I thought was a nice plus. It was very simple to put together, only took about 10 - 12 minutes.

Seems like the construction is quite solid and I have not yet had a problem with the starting, so far it has been 1 pull starts. I like the placement of the oil fill port, it will make for easy oil changes, the air filter is a very easy pull and swap as well, it is nice not to have to unscrew 17 different things to get at the air filter for a lawn mower. The mower has much larger rear wheels to avoid getting stuck in small potholes in the lawn, plus with 9 height adjustments you can pretty much be guaranteed to get the right cut for what you need.

I also really like how it is incredibly seamless to switch from the mulch to side discharge to the bag. So far the only things that i have been able to find about this mower that I am really that keen on has been the automatic choke, you really must start the mower right away after moving the choke into position, otherwise you run the risk of flooding the engine.

I would certainly say that for $208.00 this has really been one of the better mowers that I have ever owned. For the price you really cant beat it. If I were asked by a neighbor what mower to get I would certainly recommend this one. I just hope that it lasts as long as my last mower did, and that I am not getting too excited to early. Guess I will have to come back later and update my review.

I know that all of you will be on the edge of your seats until I return to finish with an updated review.
