I just picked up the HRR216VKA. It stalled several times mowing thick bermuda (I have some kind of improved hybrid tifway). Now I'm worried it may be too weak for my spring scalping - is the Briggs on the Toro 20332 a stronger engine in actual use? I raised the Honda's deck to 4 clicks from 3 for the last half of my yard, and it does have a nice cut, but I worry about the GCV160's balls. If I feel like cuttin' low, I want the option. What about using a different blade for the Honda when I scalp?

I am limited to HD since I used CC reward gift cards.
