    Lawnmower for an elderly lady?

    My old mum is in need of a new lawnmower the easier to start the better,she doesnt want an electric mower which was going to be my solution.Anyone had any experience with a petrol mower with electric start? any good and are they a lot more expensive? Any other options?Ma is healthy enough but finds it really hard to start the one she has and after using it myself can see why it takes a hefty pull to get it going.As i say any other options? (no she doesnt want a goat).I would mow them for her myself but cant be naffed going to ch-ch on a weekly basis to do it and ive offered to pay for someone to do them but she wont have that either.

    fussy bitch.

    4 toker might be easier.
    Some gay chainsaws have a 'soft start' - pulling the cord winds up a spring, when its wound, it unleashes on the starter.
    Minimal effort. But. Tbh, if you cant start a tool, you probably shouldnt be hanging off it

    Zone start mowers are the way for the elderly and weaker specimens of society, usually $100-$150 more than a conventional one, but if you shop around a bit, you can find some good deals. Masport or Torro would be my preference.

    How big is the section that needs mowing?
    Sloping or flat?

    It's Chch, just buy a cheap push lawnmower and when she is fed up with it, she will give in and let you get a student to do it for a six pack of beer

    Alternatively, get her what every women wants: a pony...

    (Not sure why she doesn't want an electric one. The cordless mower wynw was talking about sounds good. )

    Na this is what she needs; Honda's 210km/h "mean mower"
    It's got Motorbike pedigree, does a good job of the lawns (tho only at speeds upto 15mph) & will get her down to bingo or the shops in record time
