riding lawnmowers,
I imagine I have mentioned this, but I'll mention it again. I have a standard city lot with many fruit trees and plantings and row gardens (with grass in between) ...and have always used a walk-behind mower. A couple years ago, before my knee replacement, my knee was getting to where I had a hard time walking the lawnmower. I found a 25" Snapper rear engine Rider that needed a engine...you got that right, only 25"...my push mower is 21"...but once I swapped out the engine for one I salvaged, the small 25" Rider was just the thing for my complicated lawn/garden.
