    Get a push mower. It’s insane how much better it is in every single way. There’s no reason at all to push a 2 stroke across your lawn after paying for gas and getting it to star. You just quietly glide over that grass quiet. And some have a bag too.

      Just to be pedantic, mowers are 4-stroke because they need torque, not speed

      Things like chainsaws are 2-stroke

      Nah, get an electric mower, best of both worlds. Quiet-ish and still faster than an old push mower. No gas or mixing or worrying about it starting every season, just like the push mower except as labor saving as a gas

        worry about it starting every season

        Honda. Any mower with a Honda engine will start first time every time

          Sadly, that’s not an option for me until I can get enough allies to take over my HOA board and then proceed to dissolve it.

      glide

      Idk what push mowers you’ve used, but mine did not “glide” whatsoever. It was incredibly difficult to push through the lawn and mow, and took much longer because of it.
