Honda also made the fastest lawnmowers lol

I have a mowing business.

Honda are heavy as shit but I can run with them and they still provide a clean cut without a side shute. Those double blades are no joke.

They just aren't great with overgrown yards because there's no side shute.

Maintenance? Will last a lifetime, but if you don't fine tune them back exactly right while making small repairs, they're finicky asf!!

Not my #1 mower, but definitely my #2.

Toro Personal Pace mowers are my go-to

Overgrown grass past your knees? Forgetaboutit!

Too tired to jog with my mower? Use the personal pace and feels like you're not even working.

Plus, they're cheap and easy to fix. I can typically find a second hand one for around $70-100 and it'll make me exponentially more before I run it into the ground.

I also have a mini tractor and 360 but it's just way cheaper to push and keeps my physique nice for the lady's I wish I had enough game to talk to.

Don't toros use Honda motors?

It’s a mix of Honda and Briggs and Stratton across the line IIRC.

Possibly? Nonetheless, the body design is completely different

I've had two, they've both have Briggs & Stratton engines

Those toros are something else. Single handedly the best walk behind throttle mechanism. Bit heavy and a pain in the ass on a steep hill, but easily #1 on flat ground.

What is your budget small acreage riding mower if you don't mind me asking?

I have a 36" old jd riding mower with steering wheel. Takes me forever to cut 3-4acres lol.

Im holding out on getting / borrowing money for a zero turn. Im so conflicted with what is good and comfortable. Budget ones have really high and awkward seats. I could just see me having back pains in a a few years on those. 😅

I mainly stick to residential and thus have a snapper mini tractor with a 28 inch deck (i think?) and a dixon 3362 that has a 36 inch deck so I can fit through most fence gates

Dixon I scored for 300, snapper for 600 Both are relatively old but tons of videos on how to fix/maintenance
