walk-behind mower

Manual grass cutter

A walk-behind mower is a lawn mower designed to be pushed or guided from behind while walking, as opposed to riding mowers where the operator sits.

Most residential lawn mowers are walk-behind models, either push mowers requiring human power or self-propelled versions with engine-driven wheels: The yard is small enough for a walk-behind mower.
