One that has listened to her inquiries about catching sun and getting a work out while she's off of work for 3 months straight in the middle of prime grass growing season.

Don't know if it was mentioned or not but I would buy a rear wheel propelled mower. Mine is front wheel and there are many times I would help to have rear wheel.

where you live brah? Your 9.5 fine arse wife cutting grass in a bikini with a brand new self propelled lawnmower. Get her one non-self propelled. That way she has to bend down further for leverage and would provide for better angleage.
I'm going to go wax that arse for you.

Info like this is what I was looking for when this thread started. Some say buy rear wheel, while others say front is the way to go. It does seem like there are many more options with FWD, than RWD.

RW Drive and its not even close, my Cub Cadet is RW drive with the front wheels being on casters so it turns on a dime.
If you are going to bag your clippings then RW is the way to go, when the back end gets a little weight in it the front wants to raise up on you making FW drive pretty ineffective..
If you have any type of incline to your yard RW drive is what you want as well.

RWD over FWD all day long. Makes it sooooo much easier to turn, which lets you cut the yard in less time using less energy. Plus the Toro I listed before has a self paced system, that goes as fast as you walk.

That Toro has no drive release.

This... and it's not even close unless you live in the hills of Georgia. Don't get me wrong, I like my Snapper, but because the FWD Touro is easier to turn I use it more.

I have a rear wheel drive cub cadet and I like it just fine. Starts first crank, even after sitting all winter

The "personal pace" rear wheels are driven by pressing forward on the handle. When you quit walking the mower stops. It goes as fast as you walk.
Turns are easy.
