Mtd Yard Machines 413a000 Walk Behind Mower

Pros: Low price; Fine for small jobs
Cons: Engine is too weak; Mulching not very good; Tiring to use

Cutting grass is one of my least- favorite chores as a homeowner. The heat takes its toll on the body and sweat excretes profusely from the pores. The pollen floats freely through the air and into the nose and eyes, causing sneezing and tearing. And once ...

Pros: It mows OK. Doesn't cost much.
Cons: No frills. Small.

I never had much of a yard, so I had a push mower only until I moved to this house with a big yard. That old push mower must have lasted 10 years or so with no problems until . . .

Let's just say as a special home and garden tip of the day...

Pros: cheap enough that you cannot bellyache about the cost
Cons: clumsy to use, scuddy documentation

I'd always told myself that when I grew up I wasn't going to buy cheap crap. Huh-uh, not me. You see, growing up, my parents were the world's cheapest, and everything they bought fell apart. And they were not raised in the Depression, so they have no...

Pros: Strong engine; easy starting; easy to handle
Cons: Have to push it!

I have two homes and two yards, therefore I have two lawn mowers. Not being a yard-care addict, I do ...

Pros: hauls you around quickly even in deep grass, great price
Cons: wouldn't mind having a throttle control, but that's a VERY small con

It's a long, hot summer in Texas, and that little popping noise I hear is the sound of my grass bursting from the ground. We're up to an every-four-day mowing cycle, so I have become intimately familiar with my MTD Yard Machine. (note: my model number is...

Pros: Dependable, cuts nicely, easy to push, great price!
Cons: No throttle (but no cup holder either)

It seems that part of growing up and growing older is the the Saturday ritual of mowing the lawn. I've been mowing lawns for at least 45 years. Considering that the mowing season here in New York is about 25 to 30 weeks a year, that is a whole lot of ...

Pros: Good Horsepower, big honking wheels
Cons: No throttle control, goofy manual.

After 10 years of no worries, suddenly lawn care is now an issue. Even before I move in to the silly place, I'm needing to cut some grass, trim some hedge - jobs that pretty much are the reason behind having kids.

Conveniently (maybe too...

Pros: Reliable engine, good cutting blade.
Cons: The wheels fall off and don't adjust properly

Now let me start this with a disclaimer. I am not the primary lawn mower in my household. That honor belongs to my husband. I don’t even really know much about mowing, I just do it the way dear-old-dad taught me to these many years ago. However, there...

Pros: The price was right and it looks nice.
Cons: It is defective and very frustrating.

This walking lawn mower was priced right, at $99.00 and I love bargains so, I bought it. I thought, this will be great exercise for me to walk the length of the yard a 160 times, yuk!

You will have to assemble the handle, start bar, wheels,...

Pros: Sharp blade. You get what you paid for.
Cons: Poor Quality. The wheels almost fell off on the third use.

This MTD Yard Machine is for those who want to get their lawn's done to go back inside and watch golf. It's quick and easy start-up will have you mowing you're grass in no time. The six horse power Briggs and Stratton engine runs smoothly. The...

Pros: low initial cost, light weight, simple to assemble, easy to push
Cons: poor quality, no throttle control

I have a postage stamp sized yard. With less than ½ an acre to my name, I don’t need a very big mower. I’m in the process of selling my house (I want a bigger one with a bigger yard), so when my mower died at the beginning of the season I was a little...

Pros: Cheap, Powerful, Effective, Easy to Maintain if You Try
Cons: Not as Smooth as an $800.00 machine, or as agile as a $300.00 self propelled.

MTD makes a good product. The simple push mower with a 3.5 horse power mower can be just as effective as an $800.00 Honda or Snapper. Now, let me tell you why. The simpler the machine, the less trouble you will have with it.

The high end...

Pros: Solid, easy to operate
Cons: Small bag, heavy

Until now, we had bought every lawn mower we'd ever owned at yard sales. When the last one finally gave up the ghost and we realized it was time.

We chose this lawn mower mostly because it was the one that Costco had that had the features we...

Pros: Briggs&Straton Quantum XTS engine. Easy to use self-propel. Plenty of power
Cons: Bad Bagger. Wheels have a good chunk of slop. Won't propel up hills. Loose Belt?

I run a small neighborhood lawn-care business mowing a couple people's lawns. I bought this off ebay (action website) for $140 including shipping. It was a great deal for a self-propelled mower. Actually, this is not the exact mower that this...

Pros: very tough, good cut, little maintenance needed
Cons: too loud, self-propelled easier to use

I have this model of lawnmower, and have for over four years. I originally bought it because it was very inexpensive. The term I used was "disposable lawnmower", because it was cheap enough that if I had any problems I could easily replace...
