OMG! We have a huge yard, too, and we used to have one of those push mowers, the REALLY OLD ones. It was just some spiraled blades attached to the wheels (no motor, it was man powered), and it was really hard to push. I couldn't use it, my body weight wasn't even enough to push it when we had it, but dad always mowed the lawn with it. Took him all day sometimes. Eventually it broke and we got a motorized push one. Then we planted more trees, our back yard became a mini bird-filled ecosystem, with weird square spiders, and really REALLY fat squirrels and dad kinda stopped mowing as much, but the grass doesn't grow as fast as it used to. I honestly think it's all the trees and birds.
