I am looking for a good lawn mower that is not to expensive and was talking with my wife about getting a manual, no engine push mower. With gasoline prices going up and not knowing much about lawn mower engines I was thinking about getting one for our small yard, the yard is not much bigger than about 120 x 50 if that. I also thought my 12 year old daughter would have a chance to get up and help mow at times. With all the experience here on this site would this be a good choice and if so which one would be the best brand, thinking about american lawn mower brand 16".
