    You're killing me today dude...my boss is going to think I'm not doing **** in here if I keep laughing like this.
  • I used to have a Brill reel mower, worked for about 3 years. I agree there are way too many variables. I'd say using it is not much harder than a gas powered mower if, and only if, your grass is scraggily because it is dry or it is just short. Initially, my grass was.

    In my part of the world, it is humid and rains a lot which makes it harder to cut when the grass is wet and we have Zoyzia grass which is thick like Bemuda grass, plus slopes on our 3000 sq foot lawn. Plus, there would be twigs fallen from trees and little wood chips that would cause the mower to clinch up. I think over time my lawn got healthier too which made it thicker and lusher. All these things made it harder and harder to cut. I actually injured my back. I'd dread it more than an intense 20 minute kettlebell workout.

    There is somwhere on Exercise a setting for "Mowing Lawn, General" or something like that. It's probably over stated though but I put 45 minutes for cutting my grass . . . now with an electric mower. Unless you have a real small lawn and/or easy grass, I'd get an electric. You might get by with a weed wacker too.
