Idk what push mowers you've used, but mine did not "glide" whatsoever. It was incredibly difficult to push through the lawn and mow, and took much longer because of it.
You gotta sharpen the blades, my man, and keep the two moving parts oiled, this can be done at home with a very small can of oil and a large file that will fit in your sharp utensils drawer.
