Who Still Push Mow's?

falzoneslawncare · Jan 30, 2020

Just curious how many still push mow?
I have not owned a push mower in years, if my zero turn will not fit I pass on the client.
Maybe I'm set in my ways but I just don't care to push mow.

I ride, I push 21's, I use a trimmer and even a blower.

I push some of our small properties. Very lucrative.

I do quite a bit, I mow a few steep peoperties push is the only option. My awd husquavarna is my only option. I have almost rolled it few time too if i.mow a specific property later in day when tired.
Like most people try and avoid it if possible but times you just cant.

When you say "push" I'm guessing you mean a 21" walk behind mower most likely self propelled since we're probably doing multiple yards.

Funny story. When my daughter was in college the roommates would take turns mowing the lawn with a 21 self propelled. One girl would be totally exhausted after mowing, she didn't realize it would propel itself, she literally pushed the mower.

We use a push mower on some ditches, looks better than using a trimmer. We also have a backyard that we do with a push mower.

Yup, I keep a 21in self propelled Husqvarna on the truck with a bagger at all times.

This one guy uses to mow 50 yards a week with a push mower. He sold his customers on push mowing. He needed a new lawn mower every 4 months. He told me it was a bad idea because his knees where going bad. He built up his business fast because he was only guy willing to push mow.

We're in your market. We push mow. In fact, this season I'm putting (2) 21s on each rig. It will help with rain days.

Lots of companies around here seem to turn down work that requires them to get off of the Z. Not us, we just charge more money. Works for us.

Many will pay extra to have their lawn cut with a "hand mower."

My push mower is a 30". Doing more than in the past, not out of choice but necessity.

If I can’t cut it with my Grasshopper someone else can cut it.

I have no problem using a 21. Don’t have many since my 36 gets through gates but absolutely no problem doing any job to make money.

I think it's kinda funny the people that say how its just too hard to use a push mower. Ya'll realize we've got a pretty easy job compared to almost any job say 50 to a 100yrs ago.....

We use a 21 almost daily.
Probably only 10-15 minutes per day. But a few areas that have know other choice.

My route is similar.

I had to "push" a mower off the trailer when a battery went dead, does that count?
