Honda makes great mowers. Self propelled commercial cuts through anything. Blade reverses to cut to mulch so no bag is needed or keep the blade the regular way and keep the bag on.

Not consistently...No...
The above replies are especially true if the grass is St Augustine and there was a rainstorm a few days previously...

Besides, you don't want a reel mower for tall grass. Rotary is best.

If you want to use one as an exercise machine..sure go ahead...just on no circumstances should you depend on one for commercial purposes....

If you want a healthy lawn, you don't want to cut much more than 1/3 of the blade at a time and NEVER down to an inch.  That is just inviting disease, insects, weeds and stress.  3-3-1/2 inches is best for a healthy lawn.

But won't the farts from the goats cause the ozone to break down (or some shit like that)?

My mower is lithium battery powered.  Whisper quiet.

It will not cut tall grass but as you say, great when grass is below 12 inches. I only use a non-motorized mower. Great low intensity cardio  :).

Given the amount of fat stores you can use as energy, i would advise you to buy the push one.

You can't afford the gas one, so you really have no choice.

If you don't buy an all electric mower, it's over.

The ghost of Tesla will hold you down while Navy Mike  runs  over you with a gas mower.

Really? So I guess you're going to protest having gardeners in your city?

If the gas blasts from my fart locker haven't destroyed our climate, it's unlikely a goats anus would do it.

Not if its Bermuda grass or something like that. The lower you cut it the better it spreads out. Coincidently I would recommend a reel mower for cutting Bermuda grass. You can get motorized reel mowers.

I don't think that applies since he doesn't live in Bermuda.

Hope this helps.
