self-propelled mower

Gas-powered grass cutter

A self-propelled mower is a lawn mower with a drive system that moves the machine forward without the operator having to push it.

The user guides and controls the mower but doesn't provide the locomotion—a significant advantage on large lawns or hilly terrain.

Most are walk-behind gas or electric models: The self-propelled mower made quick work of the backyard.
