On my rear wheel drive "bigwheel" either I release the drive or turn fast enough that the outer wheel "over-runs" the inner.
AS far a "no oil changes" it's pretty simple. You just change mowers when the oil wears out - It's another example of North America's "throw away" society. "the paint's getting a bit dull - time for a new one".
Do you mean turning it around at the end of a pass. If so, please explain how that could work. To my mind, the "fulcrum"(?) is at the points of contact of the 2 rear wheels. Do the wheels move as you are turning it around?

I thought of that too. I've already decided that if I ever end up with a mower with that "feature", I would change the oil anyway. And if I can't do that, then I'm not buying it. And, you have to wonder about the quality of the rest of the parts on a mower with that feature...
Whether the mower is tilted up or not has no bearing on what the wheels are doing.
Here you go, this will help explain the principle.
Of course.
Hi there! I'm looking to get a new lawn mower. Been using an old push one, but it's s tarting to fall apart. So I've figured to get a decent one as soon as possi ble.
My yard isn't that big and takes less around 45 minutes to cut using the 21 inch push mower. I'm currently learning the issue reading reviews
