An innovative lawn-mower

@JudyEv I've never had a wife that would help me with chores around our homes... Pretty will if I keep griping until she helps me, though.

I can imagine the man dreaming about sitting back watching his wife riding this.

@DaddyEvil Viince helps very little about the house other than maintenance chores. Mostly my fault for not asking for help.

That's true but I think it might take a lot of effort unless the grass was very short.

@JudyEv They must have realised that.

@allknowing I think it is just a fun one-off thing that a guy has made up in his workshop. I can't imagine it ever being used to cut grass.

It would be really hard to push through grass. You'd need very strong leg muscles.

@JudyEv - You are correct, they are difficult to push, this is why my husband NEVER used it. He tried once, it was too hard, stored it in the garden room and never took it out again.

I think Damian in Ireland had one for a while. It probably didn't get used too often either. They were difficult to push. So did your husband use it twice - or just once??

@LadyDuck I was not surprised to hear this. lol

@JudyEv Those manual mowers are actually having a bit of a renaissance over here. Modern houses have such tiny gardens and usually with a miniscule bit of lawn, it's not worth the expense of getting a powered lawnmower and of course there's nowhere to store such a big machine either. But if you don't cut it at all then you don't have a lawn. So what to do? You can't really crawl around with shears, and hiring someone to mow for five minutes would be ridiculous. My friend has a push mower and she gets her children to push it around. I think if you do it often enough it's quite easy.

@Fleura I think the key words would be 'doing it often enough'. It would make sense for a small area. We have a tiny patch of lawn but Vince has bought an electric mower. We didn't really think about one of these.

I guess it would work but you'd need really strong leg muscles. I've pushed one of these types of mowers and it's not particularly easy.

So you'd let Yvonne do the mowing. Perhaps you could attach such a mower to the front of one of your motorbikes. That would make more sense.

@JudyEv I had a petrol lawnmower Not politically correct So I sold it and got a push mower. It's yellow

@Ineeddentures We should get one. Ours is electric but we have very little lawn.

I've seen the mower part and bikes obviously but I've not seen the two put together. I'd never be able to push it either.

@JudyEv I'm not aware of this. I thought it was as easy as riding a normal bike

I don't think it would be easy or relaxing!! This type of mower is hard to push through lawn or grass.

@youless If the grass is short it might be okay. I think the bike is just meant as a joke.

I imagine it would be very difficult though to push. It's hard enough pushing this type of mower if you're walking. I think it would be even harder trying to pedal but at least you'd build up good leg muscles! lol

@JudyEv I think it would depend on your ground. I know the old push mowers like that are hard to push on uneven ground. But not bad at all on level ground

That's interesting that you've seen them before. I should think they'd be iincredibly hard to operate.

Not this lady of the house!!

@JudyEv good for you!!!

@JudyEv My lot is maybe odd. I have put in quite a few gardens now but where there is lawn, be very careful. For whatever reason, the ground is uneven though flat. I bring my cane when I walk off the walks. There are little hillocks and bumpy ground in unexpected places.

@sallypup I guess it wasn't smoothed out before being planted. I can imagine you'd need to be very careful walking there as the unevenness wouldn't be apparent.

Hopefully any grassed area wouldn't be too rough.

I think this would be a one-off put together by someone who liked to tinker with inventions.

It is indeed but I can't imagine that it would work too well.

@JudyEv Let’s find out for soon users may have their review of that modified lawn mower.

Not as good as having an engine on a mower though! lol

Imagine the leg muscles you'd build up.

As I said, I think someone had too much time on their hands! lol I can't imagine it working.

Yes, getting your exercise while cutting the grass.

It's a clever idea but I'm not sure that it would work.
