Weed Eater 300 Series Lawn Mower

I recently bought this mower at Wal-mart on fall clearance. Man what a deal. It was under 100 bucks, and it came with oil. It was real easy to get it ready to mow, I just unfolded the handle and tightened 2 bolts. After adding the included oil and my own gas, we were off and going. Prime 3 times, and it starts on the first pull.

Just looking at the mower, you would think it was junk and worthless. It has tiny little motor. Don't let that fool you. I had a big 6HP bagger mower before this, and it took almost 2 tanks of gas to mow my yard. This mower uses less than one tank. And the motor is plenty powerful. I hate to mow the lawn, so it gets very tall. The little guy pushed through it with ease. This mower is QUIET too! You can actually hear the blade cutting the grass.

It isn't all good though. This is actually my second one of this model. The first one sputtered a lot. It ran well, but it took three or so pulls to start it. I traded it out at Wal-mart and that fixed the problem. The only thing I noticed about this model was the rear wheels are crooked. I just grabbed them and bent the bracket straight. Not sure what happened there, but it isn't a big thing for me.

If you have a regular size "city" yard like I do, I would highly recommend this mower.
