It still could be true, I suppose, that the manufacturers of residential

I noticed the small Honda-powered Craftsman I have has one speed.
Long time since I had a gas-powered, having used an electric, then a
battery powered for my last 2 houses.
But I recall older mowers had a throttle and you could rev them up in
the high stuff.

My two gasoline powered grass eaters have throttle controls, but...both
owner manuals say to run them at wide open throttle when cutting grass.
Both are about six years old...
