Lawn mowers/garden equipment.

danielzreyes · June 2012

Since living in a condo, I haven't mowed a lawn in years. With the purchase of a new home, I will need to invest in a good reliable push lawn mower and garden equipment. What do you guys use/recommend? Brand? Gas/electric? etc. Thanks brothers.

its been 3 years since i looked into push mowers but at the camp i used to work at we would go through one every year (a lot of push mowing in a lot of bad conditions), and the only ones that would last that long were the ones with the Briggs and Stratton engines and it was usually the body/handle that would die on those, the cheaper ones would die off in a month or so.

I've had my B&S mower for 11 years. Runs like a champ, first pull every time and no maintenance.

Any Briggs and Stratton or Honda powered mower will serve you well. Spend the extra on one that is self propelled, too.

Well, I'll tell ya, Dudes..... I've served my time yanking on ropes. Homey don' do dat sh1t no mo'. If it doesn't have a plug on the end of a cord, I don't own it. With one exception, that is. I have a cordless electric mower that mulches as it mows so it's not even necessary to empty a bag. I love it.

Hmmm Briggs and Stratton huh. I've never even heard of this brand. I shall check these out. So the B&S garden equipment are pretty good too? Thanks for the input guys.

When I had my landscape company we did a fair amount of cuttings, helped with cash flow. Back then we only used Snappers, that was a long time ago...... 9 years ago I bought a Toro Self Propelled, with 4-5 pushes on the choke it starts most often on the first pull. I service it every other year.

They are an engine manufacturer, for like 100 years or something. Yep, they are reliable. Maybe not as quiet as the honda, but their newest motors are improving on that.

Get the black and decker equipment too. All cordless and one battery system. I have the clippers, hedgers, leaf blower. All work great. For the edging along cement, I use the B&D rolling edger. Get the lawn edged in under 2 minutes. After I bought one, the whole block started buying them
