Lawn Mower Suggestions

Honda... great engine and made to last

Love my Honda HRC216HXA.. going on 6 years...

My yard eats mowers. There is ledge in the back so most tree roots are on the surface. Bump a root and pop a rock...

Other then a yearly oil change and as long as i'm careful with the height and don't rush blades are once a year for me too...

I mulch if i have other things to do, if it's cool out with no breeze i'll bag...

When i bought the house, i bought a homedepot mower for $300,,, I returned it bought the honda they had.. and i broke a wheel off...

I went to sears and bought a craftsman with a honda engine and that let go... went back got another and the transmission stopped working...

Paid the landscaper $100 he wanted to finish the lawn as he did most of it with the wackers in the back as he said to me he wasn't going to mess up his machines.. he passed with the rider and brush to pick up the clippings...

He recommended 2 commercial grade machines.
A toro and a honda..

I forgot the toro model but the machine was backordered so i went with the honda...

both were the same price.. My wife was not happy when she saw push mower for the price of a rider we were looking at...

I just ordered a set of Honda blades for $27 delivered. Other then that the cables get a shot of cable lube at the end of the season.
second pull and it's running.

I'm partial to the Toro's.... my wife does the mowing.... that includes.. rock gardens.... ornamental ducks... roots and any debris on the lawn... it's going on ten years.... i sharpen the blade ( or replace it if it's real bad) twice a year.... one oil change a season when i put it away... clean the air filter a few times a season... it's been smackin' grass and whatever else is in it's path for 10 years... and still starts on the second pull... same goes for the snow blower...
