Did anyone else think of the lawn they mowed today then looked up "best lawnmower" for no actual reason?

I had a self propelled with electric blade clutch and hydro drive. I HATED It! what a $800+ mistake. The problem is without the blade doubling as a flywheel The motor does not have enough torque to start the blade unless it is completely warmed up.Even then it just barely does. I took it to the dealer who said it is not fixable live with it. I now have a relatively cheap Husqavarna 4 wheel drive ($260) with Kohler engine and automatic choke. One pull and it starts & mows immediately. Live and learn.

It's all about maintaining your equipment. I have a base model Briggs on a cheap yard machines deck. it's mowed an acre for ten years and still starts on one pull. I change the oil and spark plug every year which costs about 5 bucks.

I have aJohn Deere Anniversary model 14PZ that thing has put every blade in the bag until it is absolutely filled unlike the Craftsman piece before it. The Deere has a alloy deck so it is lighter. But alas it is getting old so maybe a new lawnmower for me. Who knows

I bought a Husqvarna AWD 190 CC mower for my business and so far I like it.I used a MTD 3;75 Briggs mower on my yard for 24 years and had just normal wear and tear on it. It still works good but the engine is weak for my thick turf here.

got a brand new ariens from the depot 2 months and 5 lawn mows ago, and its not working now. so much for the guaranteed maximum 2 pulls to start it. depot is really good for returns, except its 50 bucks to take it there and 50 bucks to bring the new one. briggs & Stratton used to make engines that would last for years with no oil changes and all types of not so good gasolines, with the engine out in the snow or rain or heat. I know someone who has a honda for 10 years and they cant remember when or if they ever changed the oil in it, and that thing works perfectly.

My Honda just took a dump..

I'm returning my Toro Self-Propelled after 2 months. It gets clogged with grass, stops after 10 minutes, won't start again until it cools down. It's crap!

Crap mowers. Get a Honda, it'll last forever. ZTR? Hustler or Scag, I've run both commercially. Hustler has a better control system, Scag is beefier. Most of these big box mowers are all made by the same couple of companies and re branded; they are all junk. Briggs and Kohler engines used to be good in the 70's, maybe 80's but they are crap now. Get a Honda or Kawasaki engine. Just a word to the wise, I've been doing this for 30 years.

How about Honda? WHAT ABOUT RELIABILITY ! Every mower works GREAT out of the box, but wait 5 years and all cheaper mowers will be in the garbage. My HONDA WALK BEHIND IS 30 YEARS OLD AND STILL STARTS ON ONE PULL !

My grandpa had a little green mower like 14 or 16 inches wide,had a 3 hp briggs on it,and the discharge went out the front at an angle and it was a thick aluminum or magnesium deck,i dant remember the name of thow,any body out there remember this mower,ive only seen that 1 in my life but sureley theres more out there. ?

HONDA MOWERS DO GREAT AT MULCHING BUT HI VAC SNAPPER ARE THE BEST WHEN BAGGING I HAVE BOTH THEY ARE THE BEST.

If you don't own a Honda,...... You don't own a Lawnmower!...... Honda a Rules!!!!!!!!😎👍👏✌️

I have never heard so much malarkey in my life. Big rear wheels make the mower more adaptable to handle in 99% of the areas you will find yourself mowing in, and no push mowers have not improved. They have lighter blades and flywheels and start easy but the law change that lowered the decks and put those huge gaps between the engine and the deck have ruined my mowing. You have to spend money and get pro-grade machines to get anywhere near the cut you used to get with box store machines of yesteryear. And who said we all want to mulch? Here in the south humidity and growth rate often makes that impractical. And those back-baggers? Screwed up decks that will not discharge well, to my experience. I am hanging on to a 27 year old Lawn Boy. At least it cuts...

The three best push mowers out there bar none are ...Honda, Honda and of course Honda !!!!!!

1:31 "I'm your side chin strap from News Channel 5" did the reporting?
-
Husqvarna awd here. It's sweet. Much better than my old craftsman and my dad's new toro. I must say though. Nothing beats the old off brand mower that my dad had while I was growing up. That thing was heavy as hell, but it took 19 years to break down....
-
Just hate it when "better for the environment" is mentioned in anything anymore. I will always use a gas mower and a gas trimmer!!!! Just brought the Toro model that was mentioned. Hell of a mower!
-
TORO Self Propelled ! BEST MOWER TO DATE!
Terrible expensive but it will last you years. -
gas lawnmowers are way better for lawn professionals like me!
