It's funny ow some woman won't go near these thing and some do it before the guy.
My mom did the lawn but i would never let my wife do it, dunno why.

The way I see it, it's nice to be the guy who does it for his wife and/but it's nice to have a wife who has no problem getting her hands dirty and knows how to work the lawnmower.

I just bought this one for $289 - 10%=$260 and I'm very happy with it. My lawn is 15,500 sq feet and it it soo much easier that it's self propelled. 
This just went on sale for $264!

I got them to do a price adjustment for me so my total was $264 - 10% =$237.6

Any suggestions for a decent cheap mower for aprx 3,000 sqf? I have absolutely no experience whatsoever with lawn mowing. Where do I start? Cordless, corded or gas? Looking for something maintenance free which will do the job for a cheap price! Any suggestions would be appreciated!

You sound like you could use a Consumer Reports article.

Look for a self propelled TORO mower, you can’t go wrong.
I just found a new supply of forks!

I have about 15,000 sqft, I am trying to convince my wife to let me buy a tractor to mow the lawn myself. The weekly cuts by the gardener are starting to add up.
Any suggestions how to convince my wife, she claims I'll do it 2 times then get lazy but when the gardener comes he's there for maybe 15 minutes doesn't look like that much of a big deal.
Second question, any suggestion for a good mower? For that size lawn can I even get a self-propelled mower?

Generally Self propelled TORO's are gas and a bit expensive. The question is if I need it for such a small amount of sqf. Wouldn't a much cheaper corded or cordless suffice for aprx 2,000 sqf?

To err is human. It's a lawn mower.
