I have a Honda pushmower - the thing is freakin' bullet proof.

I have a Troy Bilt rider too but lately I use the push mower to mow 1.5 acres because I like the exercise.

I have a Toro Recycler. It's not the nicest mower but it works for me. I bought it to replace the Craftsman POS I had last year. I shouldn't say the Craftsman was really a POS it lasted me 10 years, but the Toro is way better. Lighter and easier to maneuver. The only downside is it has a smaller bag than the Craftsman, but I mulch most of the year anyway.

I bought this at the end of March and so far it works like a charm. If if breaks...it's under warranty for 3 years. I've never had trouble with a Briggs engine. 190 cc 6.75 tq. The Personal Pace system is pretty cool...didn't need electric start but got it anyway. 22 inch cut.

I had issues with Briggs engines back in the early 90's but any one I've encountered since '00 appears to work pretty well. I'm wondering if they did a massive redesign.

My craftsman I bought in 1996 was a briggs. Never had issues with the engine. It started on the first or second pull even after 10 years and I never changed the oil. I ran a little seafoam through it and the beginning of each season ans ran it out of gas at the end of the season. I had the blade sharpend every other year. That's the only maintenance I performed and it ran great. The drive gear was starting to go out so that's why I bought a new mower.

One thing I discovered, Front drive = bad, rear drive = good.

I bought a cheap 20-22" mower powered by a Briggs when I bought my first house, in 1991. I mowed the front yard with it yesterday.
