Putter please.
Well I have taken it to the next level for fuel savings. My mom found an antique reel mower for me and I have been using it for about two weeks now. The first time was brutal since this thing cuts pretty short. As long as you don't try to cut wet grass and don't let it get too long it's really not bad at all.
My grass actually looks pretty nice now and resembles a putting green. This surely has put the neighbors into shock and I hope they don't think I'm doing it for their benefit.

Welcome to the promised land. We've had our reel mower for about 4 years now and it does a great job. If you want a lighter mower that's a little newer and might have height adjustment, take a look on ebay. We paid $60 for a new mower on ebay and, as far as mowing goes, it's way better than paying for gas to cut grass and extremely reliable. You never have to worry about whether or not it will start. That likely has more to do with what the operator did the night before...
I wouldn't worry too much about what your neighbors think. I actually hope my neighbors think we're freaks for using a reel mower. It probably goes without saying that our collective neighbors think we're freaks for being "adults" and still riding bikes...
my neighbors are old and still use them anyway...welcome to Orrville!
I wasn't concerned about my neighbors thinking I'm wierd for using a reel mower. I just don't want them to think that I actually take care of my lawn now.
