I guess the ergonomics was an after thought on it? Where are you in Wheaton? North Side or South side? We're northsiders, near the train tracks.

She had a push mower that looked like something out of the 1800's but it darn if it didn't work like a charm. MrBrownThumb @ Chicago Garden I used to help a lady in her garden by mowing her lawn.

Even so, mowing with it at first took effort. Eventually, mowing with it was not too bad but not to the friends who often thought they could do it. They did not realize that it took a while to make it look easy! I am surprised that they designers of the mower did not take height into consideration and supplied an adjustable handle.
