Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
This Yard Man model is ideal for yards of 2,000 feet or less. At 160 cc, this machine is about average in terms of power, and will work just fine in most circumstances. (If you have a smaller yard and feel like you might need a little less power, see the Yard Man #11A-54MB055. If you're looking for a push mower with similar power, see the Yard Man #11B-439Q756)
Mowing larger areas is a cinch with this self-propelled mower-no pushing for you! This model also features exceptionally large rear wheels. At 12 inches, these make this model extremely maneuverable in tight spots. Like most mowers, this one includes an engagement lever that stops the engine and blade when it's released. This is somewhat less convenient than models that include a blade brake that lets you keep the motor running, but you have to shell out a little more to get this feature.
The mower includes a recoil starter (these start much easier than their stubborn predecessors did-it usually takes one or two pulls to get the engine going) and a choke lever. According to the manual, you may not need to use the choke if the engine is warm or the air temperature is high. The starter handle is mounted halfway up the handle, but you need to bend down to operate the choke lever, which is mounted on the engine.
The 12B-569Q755 features a 3-in-1 deck. This means you can mulch, side-discharge, or collect your clippings in a rear-mount grass catcher. You can also adjust the cutting height via adjustment levers mounted on the wheels.
This is a good, powerful mower that would be well-suited for most yards. Two-year warranty. The premium Honda engine conforms to EPA and CARB regulations. For safety, don't mow on inclines of more than 15 degrees, and always mow across a slope, not up it.--Josh Dettweiler

This review is from: Yard-Man 12B-569Q755 21-Inch 160cc Honda Gas Powered Side Discharge/Mulch/Bag Self Propelled Lawn Mower With High Rear Wheels (Lawn & Patio)
I ordered this unit to replace a Lawnboy that was 7 years old and giving me trouble with starting. The large real wheels looked like a nice advantage and the price was much less than a new Lawnboy. It has good power and starts easy. It uses a strange choke mechanism, automatically reseting within a few seconds, requiring immediate pulling of the starter rope. Seems this mechanism will have problems over time. I do not like the front wheels being used for propelling mower. It requires suffecient weight on front for traction. After about 20 hours of use the belt driving the front wheels broke. It takes about 2 weeks and $20 to obtain a new belt. In the mean time I replaced an ignition part on the old Lawnboy for $35 and glad to have it back as mower of choice.

Great mower for the PRICE!!,
This review is from: Yard-Man 12B-569Q755 21-Inch 160cc Honda Gas Powered Side Discharge/Mulch/Bag Self Propelled Lawn Mower With High Rear Wheels (Lawn & Patio)
I purchased this mower for my Mother-in-Law's yard. I personally own a commercial Lawn Boy mower and the Yard Man is more manuverable than the Lawn Boy and has comparable power. The only drawback is that it is geared a little fast for a standard walking pace, but you can overcome this by slightly raising the front wheels while mowing by putting slight downward pressure on the handle bars and lettting the front wheels slip. Overall it is a good mower and easy to start, starts on first pull. Routine maintenance and keeping the blade sharp should result in several years of yard service.The Honda engine seems to be easy on gas consumption also.

I bought it in 2007 and realized I did not leave a review.I am using this from 2007 and I love this. absolutely no issues. The honda engine is the best. This is very good if you have a small lawn. The olny concern is the bag get filled quickly so I have to empty few times.
