It still could be true, I suppose, that the manufacturers of residential
mowers spin the blades slower, but that may not be necessarily true in

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.
