Sun, 2 Jun 2002 02:01:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bernie99 - I just bought a new house with almost half an acre of grass. That's a LOT more than the old house. The kids love all the room but I had a problem. The reel mower I used at the old place just wasn't making it. That's just too much grass for a reel type...
