I used to work at a college and we mowed a lot of lawn. In addition to a bunch of riders we had one push mower. It would be used for about 35 hrs a week for roughly 16 weeks. Roughly 560 hours a year and last about 20 weeks or a little more than a year. As long as nobody hit a curb, big root, or rock with it. If they did it would die in a week or two.
Guess how much we would pay for a mower to do that?

The cheapest mower from ACE hardware
That was after we figured out that the more expensive ones died in a week or two after hitting something.
