Have the same mower fixing it, and I liked it so much I kept it for myself instead of selling

[@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE]

I can see why

[@mjg263]

I’m very fond of Toro’s Personal Pace system and the Smart Stow feature. I’m a Toro guy but I have to say I just got done mowing my lawn tonight with my new (to me) Honda HRN216 and I’m really impressed! I’ve owned and serviced many of the older HRR series mowers in the past and I never really cared too much for them, but this last gen HRN216 is awesome and a real keeper. Lightweight, nimble and cuts beautifully. Even tall damp grass doesn’t clump up with the rear chute engaged, performs much better than I thought it would based on my experience with the older models. I won’t be selling that one.

[@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE]

nice, I've been looking for an HRN to purchase myself

I got toro RWD single speed. Used 1 time and wheels sometimes lock up when pulling it backwards. Going to return it and get FWD.

yes you might be right about that

[@gearhead366]

Would I want an expensive self propeled push mower with lots of features? Depends. I have a Toro Recycler with Personal Pace, and I love the PP. For many years, it was my primary mower for my small suburban lot. For that small lot, yes I like the PP feature. I have recently moved to a property with MUCH more mowing requirements, and for that, a push mower is only for trim work. For that, I would prefer a simpler mower without the self propeled feature. I'm not getting rid of the Toro, though. Who knows what the future holds, and I doubt I'd be able to get any significant money for a 10+ yr old mower. even though it's in good shape. I prefer gas engines for mowers, and in a few years, I won't be able to buy a mower like mine. BTW, the Toro riding mowers use no-name engines, so I wouldn't be surprised if they start showing up on the push mowers.

[@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE]

Real story here, about 12 years ago when I was working at a dealership, the Toro Commercial mowers were constantly coming in under warranty because the drive stopped working. There were 4 techs in the shop, and these things kept coming in on the regular under warranty to repair the drive, and we were being overburdened by it. All that was happening is that the belt would come off. Easy enough right, put the belt back on? Sure, but then they'd be back a week later with the same issue. I started to get mad, and began designing a belt guide bracket, cut and drilled by hand, that I started putting on all the Toro Commercials that came in with that issue (Lawnboy is the same thing, same machine, just green). They never came back after. SO I ended up building about 100 of these brackets to keep on hand, and put the box of finished brackets out for all the techs to use as needed. Well guess what, not long after, Toro started installing their own at the factory, same shape, same design as mine.... they basically copied my idea and used the part I created. Never got so much as a 'thank you' or any recognition at all.

[@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE]

wow that incredible how that happened

[@0u812ski]

Thank you buddy

[@Acaidia]

Wow that mower cleaned up nice! Did you scrub it at all off camera or did you truly just spray it with cleaner and rinse it off? I might have to give that degreaser a try.

[@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE]

for this one the paint was already in excellent condition so I didn't have to do any polishing on it. just spray rinse and let dry

[@lewiemcneely9143]

I don't know what if any mower I'd recommend now. I was dealing with the old stuff for so long I lost track. Out of the loop. And anything new is made complicated on purpose. I am satisfied with what we have NOW because of the position we're in as far as age and health goes BUT I didn't need another truck so we got a mower. Simple. Don't need to haul much but the grass keeps growing and it'll be US cutting it as long as we can. And with that, we modify our mowing options. The owners of that mower were exceptional in the care they gave it. That we would do the same. Thanks and Blessings

I like the way you put that

So about the solar panels comment... I have a Honda with an electric start, and I'm pretty sure the mower charges the battery when I use it cause I've had it for 3 years, and I've never charged the battery. (I actually know for a fact that it charges as I use it, just like your car does.)

[@Andrejwashers]

We have a Lazer z E series and the only problems we had with it is a few years ago we had a hard time starting it for the season. But a couple months ago when my mini jeep would not turn on we had to jump start it with the mower and i think it started up first try like it was ran a couple minutes ago. Love the fx730v engine. We were going to sharpen our bladed but we lost some parts so we have to wait. I made a diy chute blocker on it but it id too thick so it does not close all the way. So i might make a thinner one or just keep it like that because we only need it in the first acre of our property because we put everything down there. One weird thing about it is it bogs down a bit in the woods where the grass grows a bit faster but on the sand mound where i broke 2 pipes and water goes out of them often watering a couple feet of grass on both sides. But in summer the sides are green and the middle is yellow. Im not walking with buckets of water 2 acres down to water it. Anyways. The grass grows to a foot or in the summer when the grass is going slow and im not cutting it as often it grows 2 or 3 feet and the mower barley bogs down with dull blades! There is 10 more years until we have to get a new one or it lasts more than 20 years

I like gasoline mowers but after using one for 30 years it started having problems which couldnt be fixed anymore. While using gasoline mower i had electric corded one my mother used it because the other one was heavy and it didnt had self propel. The electric one is still going strong even after almost 30 years also the electric corded mowers have shown that they are reliable simple and even easyer to maintain and to use except handiling the extension cord. And i will recommend anyone who needs to buy a cheap mower to go with electric corded one because they are proven over years and only downside is the extension cord which is a bit troublesome but after you mow one season with it you get used to it.
