Overview
Not a push-only mower, the YARDMAX is self-propelled with front wheel drive and a transmission that adapts to your walking pace. A MaxFlow volute deck mulches clippings or sends them to the rear bag, and high rear wheels carry it over uneven ground.
The variable-speed drive matches your walking pace, and automatic choke means no priming to start. A single lever sets all cutting heights, and a washout port lets a hose rinse the deck underside. The folding handle makes storage easier in a small garage. The listing gives no fuel capacity or bag size.
Who it's for
Homeowners with a sloping or uneven lawn who walk behind a mower and want drive assistance will use the variable-speed transmission. Large properties and buyers wanting a quiet electric machine should choose differently.
Pros and cons
- Variable-speed self-propelled drive
- Automatic choke, no priming
- Single-lever height adjustment
- Deck washout port for cleaning
- Fuel capacity and bag size not listed
- Gas engine needs fuel and upkeep
- Weight needs lifting care on steps
Performance notes
A continuously variable transmission lets drive speed follow your walking pace, and the high rear wheels with spiked tread improve traction on uneven ground. The deck shape holds clippings in circulation for mulching or moves them to the bag. Height is set from the seven positions.
