I am looking at buying a good rear self-propelled lawn mower. I have been looking at the Toro Sr4 Super Recycler Lawn Mower model #20092 with Briggs & Stratton Engine vs. Toro Model #20099 with Kohler Engine. Which one is better or what rear self-propelled lawn mower would you suggest for 1/3 of an acre of mowing and I need a good mower as I have some disabilities. Thanks JM
I would suggest they you consider a riding mower. Sears has several for less than $1000, and I'm sure Lowe's, home depot and wal mart have the same price range. I have walking disabilities and have found that my ability to keep up with a self propelled mower runs out after about half a yard, then it takes a couple of days to recuperate. With my riding mower I do all the yard work I want to with no problem.
Our best selling mower powerful, affordably priced lawn mower offers user-friendly features and superior mulching capabilities.
I am considering this Troy Bilt, a Toro personal pace 20017 at Home Depot and the Honda HRR216VXA Smart drive at home depot. Any thoughts on which I should buy? Are any of these head and shoulders above the others or are there any I should beware of? Thanks!
Briggs or honda, both are great engines..... the mower.... not so good. Its a mtd, but should last you a few years if taken well cared for.
Both of these Lawn Mowers are $299 at Home Depot. Both have gotten good reviews. This would be for a residential home (small lot). Which one would you pick and why?

I cant decide which mower to purchase. I want to know rear wheel vs. front wheel, and how good are personal pace mowers. Im considering a toro.
Since you are considering a self propelled mower, I have found that stopping a rear wheel drive requires disengaging the drive wheels (may be as simple as releasing a lever, but still an active motion) while stopping a front wheel drive is as simple as lifting the front wheels off the ground (pushing down on the handle raises the wheels, the same action you use to turn the mower), the wheels still turn but don't pull the mower.
Unless you are interested in demonstrating your physical prowess, the self propelled mower makes the job a lot easier, especially in the tall weeds.
For features, consider a rear bagger unit which can bag the clippings, or bag left detached can mulch the clippings.
Also think about starting options -- look for an easy start (push a primer bulb 5 times and pull the starter cord) or an electric start (battery or 110v) which takes the muscle out of it.
Or if you have a small plot, consider the new cordless electrics which are lighter, no starting, and "green".

Bin There, It is helpful to read the question and who is posing it. I could be wrong, but I somehow don't believe that THERESA LE V will be begging her wife for a new one. . .
