Our 18 year old John Deere is unstoppable, although the drive wheels could be replaced, they're pretty smooth..

I haven't really used one that works as well as it either, all the newer ones i've used doing jobs for other ppl just don't have the right controls IMO..

You guys ever use dixie choppers?? Now that is a lawn mower I can do wheelies with it.

Toro'* are good!! I have a self propelled mower and a sno blower. Both are 13 years old and still work great. I had to replace a drive pulley and a belt for the mower this year but at 13 years of service that is an acceptable replacement.

Nice touch with the Zilla logo on the bagger

Our mower is 3 years old and it sucks...

this is what i mow our lawn with.. and it takes less than 5 min

I've got a 17 year old MTD mower I've been trying to kill for the last 7 years. In thepast 7 years I haven't done a bit of maintenance; no fresh oil, filters, or sparkplugs. I don't even drain the gas for the winter season and the sob still started on the 2nd pull. Frinkin Briggs & Stratton 4.5hp motor!

About ten years ago, my Dad bought an old POS Craftsman riding mower. I'm talkin' about mid-70s here. Little 5hp motor, and it would lift the front end completely off the ground for ten feet or so if you rode the clutch right.

You have some trees and weeds near your house...

I can hold the front wheels off the ground with my self propelled push mower too.
Problem is that it doesn't cut very well that way. :?
