Parted ways with my yard crew because I want to get back into cutting my own grass and doing it on my own schedule. Decent size yard. Takes about 45 minutes to cut. Not really configured for a riding mower so a nice push or self-propelled is what I’m looking to get.

So many choices so what’s a decent one to buy? I had a Husqvarna years ago and it was great, but pricey.

Bought a Toro with the big rear wheels. No complaints.

Not the cheapest, but a self propelled Honda is great.

Honda HRX is the way to go if you are satisfied with a 21” cut. I posted this beliw in another thread a couple of months back:

The best mower I owned has been a Honda HRX. It was by far the cleanest and most reliable mower. It costs more ($600+) but it was worth it. Rarely missed a blade of grass and the suction could lift every leaf it came across. I had it for 4 years and The only reason I got rid of it was because I wanted a bigger mower.

I now have a Toro timemaster. It’s a 30” and it’s cut 30 minutes off my lawn time. It’s a great mower as well but if Honda had a 28”+ cut then I would get it in a heartbeat.

Honda is what youre looking for. Not a different brand mower with a honda engine.

I have one thats about 10 years old. Cranks first pull everytime and have only changed oil.

I love the mulching feature when running over the leaves from my live oak trees. Dont need to worry about bagging.

ETA: I have the 10 year old version of this: LINK

I'm on my second Toro self-propelled. First one lasted about 10 years, current one going on 5. I've had to replace the carburetor (@ $20 from Amazon), but other than that it runs great. Also, I currently have the smart stow model where you can fold down the handle and store it vertically.

Was leaning hard on a Honda rear wheel but bought a craftsman rear wheel drive. It's a cutting machine. Only problem is I have to keep the side door open cause my grass is so fricking thick.
