Push Mowers Then & Now

Push Mowers Then & Now

Going to my great grandmother’s house was always a treat for me as a youngster. Some of the contraptions she had at her house were interesting in appearance. One of my favorite items she had was her push lawn mower. It wasn’t powered in any way, it was a manual push reel mower. It was a challenge for all of us to push, let along cut the grass with it. Granny didn’t feel the need to own what she referred to as “one of those new-fangled contraptions”. Dad would bring over his push mower to mow the lawn and have it cut before Granny caught on that he wasn’t using her mower.

Even Dad’s mower back then is a far cry from the walk behind, self propelled mowers that are now available for home owners lawn care needs. It is so nice mowing my lawn with my Toro Super Bagger walk-behind mower. It is self propelled, has a bag attachment to catch all the trimmings and leave my lawn so well manicured that all my neighbors are green with envy.

As I prepare to store my walk-mower for the winter, I fondly look back on my childhood days and Granny’s push mower and count my blessings that I won’t be mowing with it in the Spring.
