Lawn Boy 10641 Gas Powered Lawn Mower Review

Hello Readers,

Well, it’s time we explore one of the lower end lawn mowers. That’s no to say the Lawn Boy 10641 Gas Powered Lawn Mower is a low life, just lower in price. What exactly does $269 buy you these days? Well, read the rest of my review and I’ll be happy to tell you.

Well, the first thing $269 buys you is a Briggs and Stratton Gasoline engine. Man, I do love the Briggs and Stratton engines. “Why?” you ask? That’s easy. I’ve used a lot of different lawn mowers in my day and my experience tells me they start easier and last much longer than most other lawn mower engines. That’s not to say there aren’t other well made engines, it’s just that the Briggs and Stratton Lawn Mower happens to be my favorite.

Next, you get a self propelled lawn mower. A self propelled lawn mower pushes itself so you don’t have to. Just guide it down the lawn and the Lawn Boy 10641 Gas Powered Lawn Mower will do the rest of the work for you! Just be careful, the lawn mower can get away from you if you’ve never used a self propelled model before. Just make sure you have a firm grip when you use it for the first time!

Next, you get a 20” cutting area. Twenty inches is right in line with most other gas powered lawn mowers in this class and should keep your mowing times down to a minimum. If you want to reduce your yard work time by buying a larger lawn mower, that’s going to cost you about another $100. Still, 20” is plenty for most people.

There’s also the 3-in1 mulching, discharge, or bag catch option for your clippings. The mulching feature basically chews the clippings twice so they’re less noticeable if you choose not to rake up the clippings. Mulching rather than having the lawn mower spit out the clippings on the side makes it easier and faster for the clippings to break down and release nutrietnts back in to the soil. Mulching is a crucial to the success of any well manicured lawn.

Overall, this is one of the better gas powered lawn mowers you’re going to find. It might not look as cool as some of the other gas powered lawn mowers, and certainly is not as chic as any electric lawn mower, but it does what It needs to do well, namely, cut grass. You won’t be disappointed with the Lawn Boy 10641 Gas Powered Lawn Mower.

Poulan Pro 625 Gas Powered Lawn Mower Review

Hello Readers,

Today’s gas powered lawn mower review is the Poulan Pro 625 Gas Powered Lawn Mower PR625y22RkPX. It’s one of the more expensive gas powered lawn mowers on the market right now and I’ll go over all the features and help you figure out if this is the right gas powered lawn mower for you. I personally have a Craftsman Lawn Mower in my garage, and before that I had a Toro Reel Mower, I couldn’t tell you the model number on the Toro Reel Mower because that was over a decade ago. Anyway, enough of me, time for my Poulan Pro 625 Gas Powered Lawn Mower PR625y22RkPX Review.

As I already mentioned, the Poulan Pro 625 Gas Powered Lawn Mower PR625y22RkPX is on the heavier side of the pricing spectrum. You’re paying a lot, but Poulan does a better job than many other companies at justifying the price. Let’s start off with the 22” cutting deck. That’s a very wide cutting area and if you have a larger yard, you’ll definitely appreciate the extra width afforded by the Poulan Pro 625 Gas Powered Lawn Mower. Yeah, it might only by an extra inch or two wider than other lawn mowers in this price range and class, but it certainly adds up over time! So, put shorter lawn mowing time in the win column for the Poulan Pro 625 Gas Powered Lawn Mower .

Like most modern lawn mowers, the Poulan Pro 625 Gas Powered Lawn Mower PR625y22RkPX has a built in mulching system. Basically, mulching chews your lawn clippings twice so the clippings break down and feed your lawn. You shouldn’t use this feature all the time, but if you’re lazy and don’t want to deal with the hassle of emptying the catch bag it’s probably your best option. You won’t have amazing grass, but it will be fine.

Finally, there’s the 7” front and 12” rear wheel. Have you ever used a lawn mower with small wheels then tried to mow your lawn after you came back from a month lawn vacation? I have. It’s hell. Literally, it’s hell. I felt like I needed another month off after the two and a half hour ordeal. It normally takes me about an hour and a half to mow my lawn, the small wheels kept getting stuck in gopher holes and thicker patches of grass. The huge wheels on the Poulan Pro 625 Gas Powered Lawn Mower PR625y22RkPX will help prevent you from getting mired in grass and keep you moving smooth. Oh, one last thing, I particularly like the Briggs and Stratton Engines used in lawn mowers in general, and that’s just what the Poulan Pro 625 Gas Powered Lawn Mower PR625y22RkPX is powered with. In short, my experience tells me it starts much easier than a lot of other lawn mower engines.

Yard-Man 12b-569Q755 Gas Powered Lawn Mower

The Yard-Man 12b-569Q755 Gas Powered Lawn Mower is built with a 160cc Honda Gas Engine. That means you’re going to get plenty of power. Oh, before I go in to the review in detail I want to let everyone know that if you have a large lawn and need power to get through thick turf an electric lawn mower simply won’t do. It will stop, slow, and eventually lose power on you because it has to work harder to get through those thicker, rougher areas of your lawn. Just a thought anyway.

So, what makes the Yard-Man 12b-569Q755 Gas Powered Lawn Mower special? Aside from the powerful Honda Gas Powered Engine, it boasts 9 height adjustments. That’s considerable. You’ll be able to get your lawn the exact height you like and you wont’ have to worry about having the wrong mower for the wrong kind of grass. (Different grass types require different cutting heights to thrive. If you plan being professional about your yard work, plan on spending a little extra dough for a lawn mower that can cut right.)

Like any good lawn mower, the Yard-Man 12b-569Q755 Gas Powered Lawn Mower has three functions. It can spit the clippings out the side, place them in a bag, or mulch them. Mulching basically means the lawn mower will chew the clippings twice so they break down in your lawn faster and release nutrients. You shouldn’t use this feature all the time, but it’s definitely part of an excellent lawn mowing routine!

One thing the Yard-Man 12b-569Q755 Gas Powered Lawn Mower definitely has going for it is the large wheels. These are so often neglected. Small front wheels can make it hard to maneuver and push!!! I know, I’ve used lawn mowers with small wheels before and it isn’t fun, especially when your friend asks you to mow his backyard for the first time in half a decade because he’s having a party, STEVE. But hey, I’m not bitter.
Overall, the Yard-Man 12b-569Q755 Gas Powered Lawn Mower is an okay buy. There are definitely better gas powered lawn mowers out there for less money. Do some shopping, read my reviews, you’ll find something better, I promise. Try checking out a Lawn-Boy Gas Powered Lawn Mower. I like the Briggs and Stratton Engine Lawn Boy uses better than the Honda Engine. They start better in my opinion.

Yard-Man 12AE46JA001 Gas Powered Lawn Mower Review

Hello Readers,

It’s time for another gas powered lawn mower review. This time it’s the Yard-Man 12AE46JA001 Gas Powered Lawn Mower. One cool little factoid here, the Yard-Man 12AE46JA001 Gas Powered Lawn Mower is the official lawn mower of NASCAR? Why does NASCAR need an official lawn mower? I don’t know, only the profit margins could tell us I suppose. One other thing I want to mention is Amazon was reluctant to get in to the business of selling gas powered lawn mowers but there have been more models to choose from as of late and I applaud Amazon for it!

On to the Yard-Man 12AE46JA001 Gas Powered Lawn Mower Review. What I really like about this lawn mower is the exceptionally wide cutting width. The Yard-Man 12AE46JA001 Gas Powered Lawn Mower has a 21” wide blade that will allow you to cut your lawn mowing time by as much as 40% compared to other lawn mowers with shorter blades.

Oh, if you’re worried about the Yard-Man 12AE46JA001 Gas Powered Lawn Mower being far too unwieldly to be useful to you, don’t worry. The Yard-Man 12AE46JA001 Gas Powered Lawn Mower is a self propelled lawn mower. When you see self propelled on a lawn mower that means the lawn mower has a built in drive system that pushes the lawn mower forward so all you have to do is direct the angle. It makes for much less work and you feeling less tired at the end of your yard work day.

Oh! My favorite feature of the Yard-Man 12AE46JA001 Gas Powered Lawn Mower is the 9 different cutting heights. It can be annoying if you have a lawn mower with 2 or 3 height settings. But rest assured, you’ll be able to get the right height if you buy the Yard-Man 12AE46JA001 Gas Powered Lawn Mower because there are 9 different cutting heights to choose from!

Ultimately, the Yard-Man 12AE46JA001 Gas Powered Lawn Mower is an excellent lawn mower for a decent price. It has amazing reviews on Amazon.com and if you don’t believe me click the link just below this paragraph and read what other people have to say about this gas powered lawn mower.

Lawn Boy 10640 Gas Powered Lawn Mower

Hello Readers,

Well, I’ve mostly talked about electric powered lawn mowers, but I’m finally breaking with tradition and brining you a review of the Briggs and Stratton Gas Powered Lawn Mower. Gas powered lawn mowers are generally much less expensive than their electric lawn mower counterparts and deliver a great deal more power, however they take quite a bit more maintenance to keep in tip top shape. There is oil, gas, and filters to worry about buying and replacing when you purchase a gas mower. Okay, that does it for my brief intro to Gas Mowers, on with my review of the Lawn Boy 10640 Gas Powered Lawn Mower.

First off it comes with a powerful 6.5 GT 650 Series Briggs and Stratton Engine. It starts up with little ease. I suppose the main advantage to the Lwan Boy 10640 Gas Powered Lawn Mower is price. Price was the main factor involved in building this lawn mower. If you’re looking for a cheap gas powered lawn mower you’re not going to find anything much more reliable for less than $250 bucks anywhere, unless you find some sucker at a yard sale willing to part with his almost new lawn mower for fifty bucks for some reason. Ahhh, I love taking advantage of suckers….I mean, good deals.
A lot of gas powered mowers lack a mulching option. Not so with the Lawn Boy 10640 Gas Powered Mower. It’s equipped with a 3 function cutting system with the option to spit out clippings on the side, mulch or mutiliate them so you don’t have to rake up large unsightly chunks, or simply direct the clippings in to the catch bag that’s included with the lawn mower.

Oh, did I mention the lawn mower is covered for two years from any and all defects? Yeah, two whole years! Sounds like a good deal to me, especially when it’s retailing for a fairly low price of $239!

Lawn Boy Insight Lawn Mower 103685 Review

When I first started my lawn tool and garden blog I didn’t want to review lawn mowers. I hate the thought of people telling me what lawn mower to buy. I’m so passionate about my lawn that I’m touchy and defensive when someone tells me I should be using this lawn mower or that edger to get a better looking lawn. That changed last week when my friend Jimmy came by and asked me about my lawn. He wanted to know about lawn mowers, how much he should pay, and whether or not he should get an electric or gas powered lawn mower. “Oh! Not everyone is as touchy as me!” Thanks to my friend Jimmy I have chosen to review the Lawn Boy Insight Gas Powered Lawn Mower

Just remember, I’m not going to compare the Lawn Boy Insight to any Electric Lawn Mowers, it’s like comparing an apple to an orange. You can’t do it.

I like Lawn Boy Lawn Mowers because they have proven to be rugged. When I accidentally run over that hidden rock or mow my dog Pepper’s chew toy I know there’s a good chance the Lawn Boy will overcome and continue turning. I can’t say that about too many brands and I’ll be the first to admit that Lawn Boy has produced some produced some pretty bad lawn mowers in the past, but Lawn Boy has far more huge successes than failures. That said, the Lawn Boy Insight 103685 Lawn Mower is another one of Lawn Boy’s success stories.

The first thing that’s always on my mind is horsepower. The Lawn Boy Insight possesses a powerful 6.5 HP motor that should power through most tall grass and weeds. I’m not going to be so bold as to say it can ride through tree stumps, but the sheer power and excellent blade design combine to make a very effective lawn mower.

Lawn Boy has done a very good job with the deck and including clipping options. Lawn Boy has built a 21” deck for the Insight Gas Powered Lawn Mower. That’s a good deck size for yards under half an acre. Gardeners can choose to adjust the blade to cut grass between 1” to 4”. A one inch to four inch blade length should be suitable for most lawns except people trying to grow their own golfing green.

One of the reasons I really like the Lawn Boy Insight is the self propelling drive system. A lot of companies get this part of the lawn mower wrong. I’ve used lawn mowers where the self propel system will pull the user or move so slowly it hampers the speed of the gardener. Lawn Boy has built the Lawn Boy Insight Gas Powered Lawn Mower with a smart drive system that senses how fast the gardener is pushing the mower and automatically adjusts the speed of the drive system to accommodate. It’s a really easy to use drive system.

This Lawn Boy Insight Gas Powered Lawn Mower 103685 is truly a well made machine. So long as proper care and maintenance is taken, it should last through many seasons worth of mowing and mulching. On top of all this, what really sells me on the Lawn Boy Insight is price. The Lawn Boy Insight sells for a mere $349! That’s incredibly cheap and enough to earn a near perfect 4.5 stars from me!
