Yard Machines 12A-A13K729 Self-Propelled Mower
The Yard Machines 12A-A13K729 is an affordable, lightweight self-propelled mower that handles thick grass and inclines with ease. The mower was simple to assemble and get going. We were pleased with how easy it was to adjust the wheel height to handle different grass heights. We noticed, however, that the bag is on the small side and does not catch all the grass clippings, so mowing can get messy. But overall, this Yard Machines mower handles well, starts easily, and is a steal at $249.
