stumbled upon this site while researching a new mower purchase.

I've bought 3 mowers the last 5 years......SOB

last one was a yardman that lasted 3 months, a so called best buy from consumer digest.

first 2 were toro's from Lowe's..........engines still run, but all the plastic crap breaks gizmos stop working, rope breaks.....enuff already.

was never able to locate the toro super recyclers that is supposed to be so good.

looking at lawn-boy but consumer reports has them at the highest failure rate.

and that makes me nervous, also considering a Honda................I have about 700. on a cc i can use to buy a new one.

have 3/4 acre to mow.......working as a c/o for the state no way I can afford a rider.
