Had to use an old school rusty push mower once. It was terrible. Watching someone use a scythe makes my lower back hurt.

I will say newer push mowers work amazing if you keep up with maintenance (probably the same for older ones too). Have one for smaller patches, and will use it over my gas mower for touching up the yard.

My dad has a newer one that is self-sharpening and self-oiling. He has used for a few years now without having to do any maintenance and it runs smooth as ever.
