Eastman Industries has taken the lawn mower to a new level (literally). The Hover Mower is designed to hover slightly above the ground on a cushion of air, making it more maneuverable, extremely light, easy to propel and able to reach previously inaccessible places like extreme inclines, wet grounds, and tight, difficult to get at places.

2stroke, so its s'posta burn oil http://www.thegreenhead.com/cool-stuff/2005/05/hovermower-by-eastman-industries.php

Never wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty, and the pigs like it...

The newer ones are supposed to stay sharp at least 5-8 years...at that frequency I would just pay someone else to do it.

How is that even possible? Are they made of tungsten?

WHen it hovers over the grass and never contact it theres not much abuse to the blades.

the tipping for sure, just happened to have the exhaust port open this time is my guess

When it is over filled with oil or tipped, oil can come out of either the carbs (rather the air filter that is attached to the carb assembly) or the muffler.  Just know this from first hand experience.  dont forget to check your oil level.

need more power?

This is one of the most stupid mods ever.  My regular lawnmower as well as any other gas mower can do (chop up watermelons and shrubs) what that nos powered motor could do.  Now if it was able to pull you across the yard at 20 mph while at the same time spinning the blades fast enough so that the grass is properly cut the first pass, then i would be impressed.  Nothing special about it or rather usefully functional about it.
