Our take on the YARDMAX YG2860 22 in. 201cc Select PACE 6 Speed CVT High Wheel FWD 3-in-1 Gas Self Propelled Lawn Mower

The YARDMAX YG2860 is a 22-inch gas self-propelled walk mower with front-wheel drive, a 201cc YARDMAX OHV engine and a continuously variable transmission that replaces fixed speed steps with a smooth 6-speed range. It cuts three ways (mulch, side discharge, rear bag), offers seven cutting heights from 1.38 to 3.55 inches, and rides on high rear wheels with spiked tread for uneven ground. It folds for storage and ships fully assembled. The latest best price is $399 at Ace Hardware as of November 3, near the low end of its recent $379 to $449 range.

Questions and answers

Is the YARDMAX YG2860 worth it?
For a flat to gently sloped yard under about half an acre, yes. The CVT drive and 22-inch deck are features usually found on pricier mowers, and at $399 at Ace Hardware as of November 3 it sits near its recent low.
How does it compare with a Honda or Toro self-propelled mower?
It undercuts most Honda and Toro models on price and matches them on deck size and three-in-one cutting. Those brands typically offer rear-wheel drive and better dealer support, which matters more on hills.
Does it have electric start?
No. It uses a pull cord with an automatic choke, so there is no priming or choking, but you still pull to start.
How steep a hill can it handle?
Front-wheel drive pulls the mower, so traction drops on wet grass and steep uphill slopes. It is best on flat ground and mild grades; for steep yards a rear-wheel-drive mower is a better fit.
What comes in the box?
The mower arrives fully assembled with the handle folded, plus a rear bag and side discharge chute. You unfold the handle, add oil and gas, and mow.
When is the YG2860 cheapest?
Its recent range runs about $379 to $449, and spring pre-season and end-of-season clearance tend to hit the low end. The current $399 at Ace Hardware as of November 3 is already close to that floor.
