I have a huge yard and out of financial need I push mow my yard. It takes me 6 hours almost on a good day. This morning at 6:10 AM sharp, I was mowing. The neighbors look at me like I am nuts. I will probably buy a self propelled mower and a riding mower after I get out of debt next summer.
I have to say, my yard looks beautiful after I am done. I live on a corner on a hill, so I have to push mow a giagantic amount of hill out here. Its probably close to about 10 feet tall.
Would a self propelled lawn mower help me get the job done next summer? How does it work.

Self-propelled rotary lawn mowers require the operator to squeeze a bar to engage the mower, which causes the machine to take off -- all you have to do is control the direction in which it goes. If you release your grip on the bar, the mower blade stops spinning. For the higher-end self-propelled rotary mowers, the drive system does not shut off when you release the bar – a convenient feature, in case you’d like to transport the lawn mower from point A to point B without cutting grass along the way.

There is a gear box and transmission that is belt driven from your engine that drive the rear wheels. Basically, you set the speed you want the mower to move, engage the transmission, and walk behind the mower. The wheels do all the work and all you have to do is steer.

I would skip the self propell and save for the rider. Self propel you still need to steer and pull but it is a little easier, but not that much easier than a push mower. Go for the rider

The only difference between the one you push and a self propelled mower is the self propelled one walk on it's own you don't push it.
