The Yardmax YG1550 Lawnmower - If you are looking for a lawn mower that drives itself and comes with a bagger attachment, then this video is not for you! On the Yardmax YG1550, there is no bag and you have to push this mower. However, if you are searching for a very simple, mulching push mower, then stick around, you will find this video review of the Yardmax YG1550 to be very helpful.
I have about an acre of yard to cut with many embankments, trees and tree roots, shrubs and walkways as well as a number of other natural and home structures to cut around before getting onto my tractor.
Thus far, I have been very pleased with the performance of the Yardmax YG1550.
