Advice - Toro 20073 or Troy Bilt 835 ???
Comments (8)In my mind, there are pretty big differences between the two, but if it was me, I'd really have to consider the big $$ difference. The Toro gives you a transmission that some say is a little difficult to use, but very good mulching. The Troy definitely gives you a SUPERIOR engine and single lever height adjust. I love that feature because I change my cutting height many times during the season, and I really like that feature. I'm very surprised Toro has not come out with that. The Honda GCV 160 sends a lot less vibration up to your hands, so the Troy would probably be more comfortable to your arms (and ears). Good luck and let us know what you decide. Happy mowing....See MoreToro 20093 vs. Honda HRX217HXA
Comments (18)I can't comment on the two listed above too much, but i will comment on the LB Plat. I recently purchased the Lawn Boy 10795, which is similar to the 797, but without the Blade brake. I love it. I was down to that and the toro, and the it was a close call, but went with the LB due to the reputation of the Honda engine and I liked the bagging system. I looked at teh HRX honda at Home Depot, thought it was nice, but was turned off by the drive system. Also, not 100% on what it means, but the Platinum LB has a sealed drive system that is upgraded from the lower level LBs....See MoreToro PT21 trim mower model 22164
Comments (7)Well, I'm going on two years with this mower. I almost changed the oil the other day, but it was still a nice yellow-amber color so I let it be. And this is the Kawasaki engine without a filter. I'll probably change it at the end of this season regardless of how it looks. I wonder if it is very difficult or expensive to add a filter to this engine (like other versions have)? I pumped a bit of grease into the zerk fittings by the rear wheels. Are there any other grease fittings that need attention? Any other maintenance items? I have to say one of the best things about this mower is that I can cut the grass *fast*. I only cut once every 7 - 9 days, but I can still go through it at full speed for the lawn mower; a very fast walk. I did note that a freshly sharpened blade leaves a much nicer cut on the blades of grass. My brother, who is a lawn maintenance professional, recommends we homeowners sharpen the blade twice a year. Based on the difference in results I saw I think he is right. He actually sharpens his blades daily and cranks up the engine and blade speed a bit to keep his business more efficient....See MoreToro 20055 noisy engine problem
Comments (4)SR4 20055 is not a model I'm familiar with. The only SR 20055 I'm aware of was a rear wheel drive personal pace mower made by Toro. I believe the model is about 5 years old, so depending on when you bought it the 5 year warranty could be expired or close to expiring. Is that the mower? A rat-tat-tat noise could be from several causes including a very noisy valve, bad bearings, blade hitting the mower frame and a leaky exhaust. Have you hit a rock, stump or other object while mowing? Have you actually checked how close the blade comes to the frame? If not that's the first thing I would check....See More1saxman
