Riding Lawn Mowers
Last fall I purchased a YTH24K48 from Lowes in Rolla, MO. First time I used it two mower blades came off, the missle and left blades. I was able to find the blades and bolts and replased them as well as tightening the third blade. First time I used it this season the middle and RH blade came off. This mower has less than 5 hours on it. It is still out of service as I haven’t located one of the bolts yet. Why would these blades be falling off if properly torqued?
I bought a new YTH23V48 from Husqvarna dealer, Northern-Tools in Minnesota on October 2012. My previous riding mower from sears (costing about 1/2 as much) lasted for 12 years with just once requiring a belt change. The YTH23V48 had problems from day one. To start with Northern Tools (N-T) sold this to me based on a lie that the mower engine has been tested at factory and even after purchasing they were not allowing me to turn on the engine at store to make sure it is working. When brought it home I found that there were gas and oil in engine, and when I contacted N-T they said actually they had tested the engine to make sure it was OK (another lie, see below) and then over time I found out out what a junk I had purchased:
1) Day 1. I could not start the engine, took me a while to find out that a tube to fuel pump was missing (the BS engine on this mower does not have an electric fuel pump; but a cheap crap that easily breaks). I had to rent a trailer again to take the mower back to N-T store, where they told some other lies about why the fuel pump tube was missing without explaining how they could have tested the engine before I purchased it without it. They did not have the part at store but they used some other similar tube which allowed the fuel pump to work.
2) I got the mower back to home and used it for few times until one day it stopped working half way during mowing my yard. I checked and found that the N-T make tube had partially melted. This time I rented a trailer to take it to a local service center and they fixed it correctly under warrantee by ordering the tube for the stupid fuel pump.
3) I got the mower back to home and used it for a while but then again one day it stopped in the middle of mowing, I found out that the fuel line (from Fuel tank) has been cut by one of the belts because it was not tied properly, most probably by careless assembly at Northern-Tools (I will never buy anything from them again). I tried to use a metal tube to bridge the broken line, but for some reason the Fuel pump was not working, so I had to rent a trailer and take to service center again. They told me tat for some reason the cutting of the line must have sent some debris to pump, so they ordered new (stupid) fuel pump and new fuel line.
4) I got the mower back home, but it did not even start w=even with new fuel line and pump. So I got it back to the service center and they found out that they had tied the line to hard and it was pinched closed at some point which they fixed.
5) I got the mower back and I could use it a few more times until I stored it for winter. I noticed some los of air from front tires when I was using it but next spring I found both tires out of air and deformed under weight of mower. I have been trying to fix the leak in the tires by changing the stem and cleaning the rim, nothing has worked and they lose air gradually so will not work for long time storage (basically very low quality parts either by Husqvarna or Northern-Tools), so I am planning to pay to install tubes in the tubeless front wheels.
6) And the latest breakdown happened last week when I used the mower for the first this spring to do the first mowing and cleaning, Well as expected the mower stopped working in the middle of mowing (the engine running but would not move when pedal is pushed). I found out that the transmission belt was off the pulley and there was no way of reattaching it without dropping the whole mowing deck. So I have to rent a trailer to take it to the service center.
7) I just want to add that this mower is little more than 1 year old and still under warranty and I have only used it for some spring and fall cleaning because I have my lawn mowed by a company during summer, yet I have seen more problem from this piece of expensive junk than in all the time that I owned and used my last supposedly lower quality Craftsman mower from sears. MY STRONG RECOMMENDATION IS NOT TO BUY from Husqverna or Northern–Tool unless you enjoy repairing broken tools.
Well, I am happy to report that today I was able to cut my grass without any blades falling off or anything breaking down. I’ve not got a total of 5.3 hours on this mower and it has thrown 4 blades. Using Loctire on the bolts hopefully have fixed the problem. Life goes on, but I’m still not ready to recommend Husqvarna Lawn TYractors to anybody except my ex-wife.
Ariens Re-Enters the Walk-Behind Category
As Ariens continues to grow, the brand has recently announced its entrance back into the walk-behind category. Director of Residential Product, Andy Massignan, took some time out of his day to chat with us about the Ariens RAZOR.
Ariens has re-entered the walk-behind category because it’s the number one product for most homeowners in the US to handle their lawn care needs. We also saw a mutual benefit with our snow line, offering lawn and snow products to make sure we are the power equipment manufacturer for all seasons.
How many models are available?
LaserEdge Eversharp technology is a proprietary offering from one of our Ariens suppliers. This technology applied to the blade of the high-end units allows the blade to self-sharpen as it cuts, meaning that you don’t have to have a standard maintenance interval saving the customer time. The blade will need to be replaced, but it could last five years, or even longer, in normal use.
The REFLEX speed control technology on the Ariens RAZOR allows the speed of the machine to match the pace of the operator. This ensures that whatever speed the operator wants to walk, the machine will follow like a reflex. If you want to go fast or slow, the machine is going to exactly match your speed. This allows you to make quick work of your mowing job.
What are the highlighted features?
For our all-new RAZOR line, all models feature some common elements. The first is a 5.5” depth commercial quality deck. This gives you superior mulching and cut performance. We also feature large, easy rolling 8-inch wheels on the front and 10-inch wheels on the back. All models feature a 7 position height of cut adjustment from 1 to 4 inches, as well as a 3 position handlebar allowing the operator to find the most comfortable position for them. Last but not least, the entire RAZOR line-up is powered by Briggs Stratton engines.
Customers will want to buy a RAZOR because it delivers one of the best cut qualities in the market. Mowing with a RAZOR will allow you to mow faster and minimize the amount of time you spend cutting your lawn, especially in wet and heavy grass. In addition to that, we focused on operator comfort. We have premium touch points on the wheel and handlebar adjustments. Lastly, we offer premium branded features like the powerful Briggs Stratton engines, as well as LaserEdge shelf sharpening blades.
What sets the RAZOR apart from competitors?
What sets the Ariens RAZOR apart from our competition is our cutting geometry. The design of our deck has a commercial depth of 5.5” allowing grass to be atomized in that cutting chamber, whether you’re discharging, mulching or bagging. In any condition, you’re going to have a great cut with the Ariens RAZOR.
Like most Ariens products, parts and accessories will be available for the new RAZOR lineup. This includes equipment covers as well as dual LaserEdge blades that will be available to up fit on the lower end models. Other accessories will be available over time.
What are the warranty options?
We are excited to offer 3-year warranties on our push and self-propelled models and 4-year warranties on our two high-end REFLEX models. You’ll find that these warranties are a year or two years longer than most of the competition in these price points.
The RAZOR line-up will be available beginning in Spring 2023 at Ariens Dealers in the United States and Canada as well as retail stores including Fleet Farm, Lowe’s, Northern Tool Equipment and True Value in select markets. Our Ariens Dealer Locator will help you find a store near you.
Ariens Razor Walk-Behind Push Lawn Mowers
If you’ve ever seen the third Godfather, you’re probably familiar with Michael Corleone’s iconic exclamation, “Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in! “ Well, this similarly applies to Ariens because, lo and behold, after a noticeable absence, they’re here with their Razor Walk-Behind Push Lawn Mowers.
Known for their zero-turns and snow equipment, Ariens has re-entered the U.S. push mower market with a series of models for homeowners in search of either a primary set of wheels or one to touch up areas that a rider can’t reach. Specifically, the line-up contains four mowers:
Razor Push Lawn Mowers Performance Features
Ariens seems to have put some time into the blade construction, at least in the high-end units. Their design team equipped the new mowers with their LaserEdge Eversharp Technology.
It works by enabling the blade to self-sharpen as it cuts. That means that standard maintenance isn’t required, and this may save time.
Of course, owners will ultimately need to replace the Ariens Razor mower blades. But according to Ariens, they could last five years or longer with normal use.
Another stand-out feature is the REFLEX speed control technology, which pairs the mower’s speed with the operator’s pace. As Ariens explains it, this ensures that however quickly the user walks, the machine follows like a reflex.
Depending on the model, the mowers have 3.7 to 4 mph forward drive speeds.
In terms of handling, the Ariens Razor Push Mowers have 8″ front and 10″ rear wheels intended for smoother negotiation of rough terrain.
Razor Design Features
On the design features side of things, all Ariens Razor Push Mowers have Briggs Stratton engines with outputs that, again, vary by model.
These units also provide up to seven height adjustment positions, and the 911602 and 911603 can store vertically.

Best Reel Mower
American Lawn Mower Company 14-Inch Manual Reel Mower
There’s no motor or battery in this mower; it’s entirely powered by your own exertion in pushing it across your lawn. But if you have a small, flat lawn and want the ultimate in environmentally friendly lawn care, then it’s hard to beat this reel mower. Unlike powered mowers, which have a single blade that spins on a horizontal axis, this reel mower has four blades that spin vertically, neatly snipping your grass with a scissor-like action that creates a very even cut. And there’s almost no maintenance required; every few years, you’ll need to sharpen the blades. That’s it. It can occasionally get jammed on large sticks or other lawn debris, though, so it’s best to be sure there aren’t obstructions in your path while mowing.
The mower cuts a 14-inch swath of grass in a single pass. You can adjust the cutting height between 1 inch and 1.75 inches, but the mower won’t perform well on grass that is taller than four inches. The polymer wheels are 8.5 inches in diameter and roll smoothly. The clippings will mulch into your lawn, but American Lawn Mower Company does sell a separate bag for this mower if you prefer to bag your clippings. While you’ll get a bit of a workout using this mower, it does create a very fine cut, doesn’t make much noise, and won’t take up a lot of room in your garage or garden shed. It’s very reasonably priced, as well.

Best for Thick Grass
Craftsman M110 140cc 21-inch Gas Push Lawn Mower
With a 140cc Briggs Stratton engine, this gas push mower from Craftsman is best for smaller lawns that are no more than 1/4 acre in size, but it easily handles even thick or tall grass. Unlike many other gas mowers, this one starts up easily, so you won’t be yanking on the cord in frustration. The 21-inch cutting deck is wide enough to get the mowing down quickly, and there are six cutting height levels ranging from 1.25 inches to 3.75 inches. The sturdy wheels maneuver easily over rough terrain or slight slopes. You can set the mower to side discharge clippings, collect them in the included rear bag, or mulch them back into the lawn.
At 65 pounds, this isn’t a light lawn mower, but it does handle easily. On the downside, this mower does require periodic oil changes, and you’ll need to tip the mower onto its side to drain the old oil before adding fresh 10w-30 oil. As a general rule, the oil should be changed at least once each year. However, there is no need to mix oil with gas as the mower has a 4-stroke engine. A two-year warranty covers the mower.

Best for Small Yards
Worx WG779 Power Share 40-Volt 14-Inch Cordless Walk Behind Mower
This excellent mower from WORX comes with two 20-volt, 4.0-Ah batteries, both of which power the mower simultaneously for a total of 40 volts. That lets you mow up to 5,000 square feet on a single charge of the two batteries. The cutting deck is only 14 inches wide, so this mower is best for smaller yards, but you’ll be able to easily maneuver the mower around tree trunks, flowerbeds, and other obstacles. There are six height adjustments ranging from 2.5 inches to 3.5 inches. And the mower has WORX’s IntelliCut feature, which lets you up the power when tackling tough or thick grass, and then dial it back down again to conserve battery life.
At only 29 pounds, it’s not tough to push this mower, even on slight slopes. You can mulch the grass clippings or collect them in the included 0.85-bushel bag, which has an indicator that lets you know when the bag is full. There is no side-discharge option, however. The mower’s handle folds down for easy storage. Along with the two batteries, you get a dual-battery charger to charge both batteries together. The batteries can be used with any other WORX products. The mower is covered by a three-year warranty, and the batteries by a one-year warranty.

Best Battery Powered
EGO Power LM2021 20-Inch 56-Volt Push Lawn Mower
It’s not inexpensive, but at up to a 60-minute runtime and a blazing 40-minute recharging time, this cordless mower from EGO has one of the best runtimes of any battery mower. Nor is it lacking in power; the included 56-volt, 5-Ah battery and high-efficiency brushless motor give this lawn mower plenty of oomph for handling tall or thick grass. It occasionally struggles a bit with wet grass, however. The cutting deck is 20 inches wide, and there are six height adjustments ranging from 1.2 inches to 4 inches. You’ll also appreciate the bright LED headlights, which make it easier to mow at dusk or in the morning.
You can bag your clippings in the included grass catcher, which is very easy to lift for emptying, let them discharge to the side, or mulch them into the lawn. And when you are finished mowing, the mower’s handle folds down so you can store it easily. The mower comes with a battery and charger. Like all EGO tools, the battery is compatible with any other EGO product. The warranty is good for five years.

Best Mulching
Toro 21311 Recycler Gas 21-Inch Push Mower
Unlike many other gas mowers, you never need to do an oil change on this one; just check the oil level and top it off when necessary. And you’ll love the power of this mower, which has a 140cc Briggs Stratton engine that easily handles thick or tall grass, even if wet. The mowing deck is 21 inches wide. There are nine cutting levels ranging from 1.25 inches to 3.75 inches; that’s one of the widest cutting height ranges available and lets you closely adjust the cut to suit your lawn grass. Nor is it difficult to start; generally, it will roar to life with just one or two pulls of the cord.
Where this mower really shines is in its ability to reduce grass clippings into the finest mulch, which Toro calls “lawn vitamins.” But if you prefer not to leave the clippings on your lawn, then you’ll appreciate the included two-bushel bag. The mower can also side-discharge clippings, but to get the free side-discharge chute, you’ll need to first register your mower with Toro, who will then mail you the chute. Thanks to the tractioned 10-inch rear wheels and 8-inch front wheels, the mower handles even rough terrain easily, and it’s not difficult to push or maneuver. The mower comes with a three-year warranty.

We love Greenworks’ 16-Inch Corded Electric Lawn Mower. With its powerful 12-amp motor, this corded electric lawn mower eliminates the need for gas, oil, and the hassle of a dead battery in the middle of mowing. If you’re on a tighter budget but still want a high-quality mower, we recommend the Sun Joe Electric Mower. You can keep your lawn looking great without disturbing the neighbors thanks to its small size, light weight, and quiet operation.
What to Look for in a Push Lawn Mower
Type
There are four basic types of push mowers based on their power sources.
Gas mowers are fueled by gasoline. These are generally the most powerful push mowers, and as long as the tank has fuel, the mower will keep running without concern for losing power. On the downside, these mowers are noisy, they emit smelly fumes and pollutants, and they can be hard to start. The Craftsman M110 21-Inch Push Mower is an excellent gas mower.
Corded electric mowers are not as popular as they once were, but are still a good option for buyers who have small lawns and are looking for a bargain. These mowers must be plugged into an electrical outlet, meaning that you will need a long, outdoor-rated extension cord for power. Along with low cost, the pros of these mowers include that they do not emit any fumes, you don’t need to keep track of battery life, and they are relatively low maintenance. However, you’ll need to take care not to run over the extension cord while you mow. We recommend Greenwork’s 20-Inch Corded Push Mower.
Battery or cordless push mowers are powered by a battery. That means you don’t have to worry about an extension cord, and you won’t be bothered by fumes. However, even though battery technology is ever-improving, you can still expect only 30 minutes or so runtime on a single charge, although some more powerful mowers can run close to an hour before the battery runs down. While there are cordless mowers powered by an 18-volt battery, most use 40 volts or more. Our top pick, the Ryobi 20-Inch Push Mower, runs on a 40-volt battery.
Manual, or reel mowers, rely on your own muscle power to push the mower. These old-fashioned, environmentally friendly mowers have no motor or engine. However, they can do an exceptional job of neatly clipping lawn grass, as long as the grass isn’t too high or thick. These are generally very inexpensive but are suited only to small lawns, and they can be tiring to use. The 14-inch reel mower from American Lawn Mower Company is a great choice.
Wheels
Some mowers, especially older models, have four wheels that are all the same size, generally between 6 and 8 inches in diameter. However, many mowers today, especially higher-end models, have typical 7- or 8-inch wheels in front but higher wheels in back. Often labeled as “high wheel” mowers, the rear wheels on these models are typically 10 to 12 inches in diameter.
The tread of your mower’s wheels is also a consideration. The more grooved and patterned the tread, the easier it will be to push the mower over wet grass, soft grass, or dirt.
Cutting Deck
The cutting deck of a lawn mower is the base that houses the spinning blade that cuts the grass, and the size of the cutting deck determines the width of the cutting path achieved by one pass of the mower. The most common cutting deck size for a push mower is between 20 and 21 inches, but you’ll find mowers with smaller decks and some larger ones. Keep in mind that the larger the cutting deck, the more energy you’ll need to exert to push the mower, and the more difficult it will be to maneuver around tree trunks and other obstacles.
Smaller mowers with decks that are less than 18 inches are good for small lawns or lawns that require considerable maneuvering between trees, flowerbeds, or other obstacles. The Sun Joe Electric Lawn Mower is a corded push mower with a 14-inch deck that is perfect for small yards.
Grass Disposal Options
There are three basic options for handling the grass clippings that accumulate as you mow. Some mowers have all three options, while others only have one or two of them.
Side discharge means the mower simply shoots the clippings out of a chute on the mower’s side and back onto the lawn. You can then either rake up the clippings or leave them in place. Keep in mind that leaving large clippings on the lawn can smother the grass, however.
Mulching the clippings means the mower blades chop the clippings into very fine pieces before dropping them back onto the lawn from underneath the mower’s deck. These finely-cut clippings decompose much faster than unmulched clippings, so they won’t smother your lawn and provide valuable nutrients to the grass as they decompose.
Bagged mowers have a rear bag that catches the clippings as they are cut. You then lift the bag off the mower and empty it once you’re finished working.
The EGO Power LM2021 20-inch push mower includes all three clippings options.
A push mower’s engine or motor merely powers the cutting blade; it is not connected to the mower wheels. That means you are required to supply the pushing power yourself to keep the mower moving across your lawn. A self-propelled mower, however, uses its engine or motor to power the blade and the wheels, meaning that the mower moves forward on its own power, leaving you to basically just steer. Self-propelled mowers are easier to use, especially when mowing up hills, but you’ll pay much more for these mowers. Still, it might be worth it if you have a very large or very hilly yard.
If properly cared for, a good push mower can last you a decade or longer. However, to achieve that goal, you need to carry out regular maintenance, which can include oil changes and filter changes on gas mowers, periodic blade sharpening, removal of caked-on grass and mud from the mower’s deck, and storage of the mower in a spot where it isn’t subjected to weather extremes. You should also take care not to mow over rocks or large sticks, which can damage the mower’s blades, deck, or motor. As a rule of thumb, gas mowers tend to last longer than battery mowers.
