hey guys, its been a few years since i last posted. In the last few years i have had several mowers, had a brand new honda 3 years ago, it was a good mower, but the very first time i hit something in the yard, i bent a crank. i rebuilt it and sold it soon after.

last October, I decided I decided i would treat myself to a new lawn boy. What a mistake that was. When i opened the box. i found a mower with a bent front wheel bracket. giving it the benefit of the doubt, i straitened the bracket and tried my new mower out. it mulches good when the grass isnt too high. As for Bagging, You can almost forget about that! If the grass is anything but very dry and not too tall, you can bag it, Otherwise, plan on half assed mulching it.

That model is the 10604 with the kohler engine.

At this point, I have had enough! Im in the market for a new mower, I want something that will both bag and mulch very well. side discharge would be a nice option too.

i really prefer a rwd self propel as i have never owned a fwd model that i felt worked very well.

Im in hopes that this will be the last machine i buy for many years.

im looking really close at the snapper commercial hi-vac at the moment.

I was hoping some of you may chime in on some good models.
