Hmm, thanks. I just took the word of the Honda dealer I bought it from. They said they used to make them, but not anymore. I occasionally get into a little taller damp stuff that it would be handy to be able to just discharge. Thanks for the link.
I got the Greenworks 48V 20" Brushless Cordless Self-Propelled Lawn Mower from Amazon when it hit the lowest price. It uses 2 lithium batteries. No more gas, oil, air filter, spark plug, or breathing fumes. I have used it on two yards, and I like it so far. I got a second set of batteries when they hit $65. The charger holds 2 batteries and is noisy, so I keep it in a room away from people. It came with a drill that uses one of the batteries. I already have some solar panels and an inverter so I can charge the batteries for free. I will be mowing when the world collapses. You just push a button to start the blade, and it can run self-propelled without running the blade. It is great for anyone who has trouble starting a gas mower. It has a smooth slider for speed control. The height adjusts with one lever. It is light enough that I can push it without the self-propelled feature when I need to maneuver around obstacles. This is a great option for someone with a small yard. Bigger yards will require an extra set of batteries or mowing in stages. Time will tell if it was a good purchase. So far, I am happy.
i have a toro Recycler, with self pace ,, works great,i have the 6.75 Briggs and stratton engine,bent a tab on the govener to make it run faster,(more rpm's)bags really good now,,,the self pace feature is just a belt tightener that pulls the belt tight between two v pulleys,,get a spare belt,,,if u mow while the grass is not tall you wont have to rake or bag,,now if u do wait till its tall and dont want to bag or rake ,, Toro makes a Super Recycler that cuts grass up into tiny pieces,,mow 3 inch thick grass nothing to pickup.!!!!
HONDA, had mine 10 years without an issue , has started every time on the first or second pull for 10 years….. mostly first pull (and no primer bulb).. I would never own another brand at this point. My toro was pretty decent but the primer bulbs and all that crap gets old.
Years ago we rented a tiller with a Honda engine to till our garden. That was the easiest starting pull start motor, ever. One pull starts with very little effort.
My cousin has a lawn service and he uses Honda push mowers. I used to mow with him and they were great.
Honda’s great but if spending that kind of money buy a commercial TORO walk behind any conditions no problemo!
Honda. Hands down the best. It will pack grass in the bag until you have to dig it out to dump it. The others will quit pushing grass into the bag when about half full. Honda will nearly suck the ground clean as well. When mowing around outdoor break rooms the cigarrete butts and pistachio shells are sucked up into the bag instead of stirred up by lesser mowers.
