In June of 2010 I got a brand new Huskee 21" 3-in-1 push mower and you would have thought that I just got a new car. I try to take good care of my lawn equipment and I look forward to learning tips and tricks from forum members.
Well hello there! Welcome to the forum. I am new here as well though have been in this lawn mower thing for over years now. I just didn't think that such a community would have existed online.
I have to agree that in anything you have and use, taking care of it will practically spell the difference. You just have to start with something that you could maintain regularly and see it have an extensive life.
