No, but they should.

  • A 2001 study showed that a mower emits the same amount of pollution (emissions other than carbon dioxide) in one hour as driving a 1992 model car for 650 miles (1,000 km).
  • Gallon for gallon, the 2006 lawn mower engines contribute 93 times more smog-forming emissions than 2006 cars, according to the California Air Resources Board.
  • According to the Union of Concerned Scientists, one gasoline-powered non-riding lawnmower emits the same amount of pollutants as eight new cars driving 55 mph in the same period of time.
  • In all, the EPA estimates that gasoline-powered lawnmowers are responsible for 5% of all air pollution in the United States.
  • CARB estimates that lawnmowers are responsible for 2% of smog-forming pollutants emitted each year in California.

Why a lawn mower turns when pushed at an angle from a sidewalk onto the grass?

When one of the lawn mower's wheels enters the grass it causes the lawn mower to slow down due to friction. If you keep pushing on the lawn mower, the wheel on the grass will act like a moving pivot, and the lawn mower will turn to a different angle.

There are multiple mechanical conditions which can result in irregular engine noise signatures. Among the most common bearing these symptoms may be a cracked or damaged exhaust pipe or catalytic converter. This noise is not being muffled correctly, because of the crack or hole in the pipe.
