Hello Solirossi
Yes, I think those words are open to wide interpretation.
There is certainly a difference in how the words are used in a technical sense
in some fields and areas, and how we understand and use those terms generally.
Now, to answer your question: No. This machine will not self-propel without the reel engaged.
It is not common to find a true dual drive, residential reel lawnmower.
One great feature on the 45 is the 'hair trigger' landroll clutch - meaning that
you can move the machine at a variable speed. So easy peasy up the pavers!
I hope this helps.
