Not large at all - or I would have surrendered and opted for an electric or battery-powered model.
If you keep them well oiled (WD-40 is your friend) and the blades sharp, they are not hard to push over plain grass. The challenging areas contain tough-leaved weeds or crab grass - but just get a running start before you hit them.
