Dammit, I almost broke up with the fiance b/c I wanted a honda engine lawn mower. The woman just doesn't understand that a man just has to have his toys. I even said I'd shop estate sales....i.e. garage sales. Biznatch.

You can get a cheap honda (HRS series starting at 339)...

For $200 Sears is probably your only option.

Lowes and homedepot are other places to check...

Lawnboy 10685, Toro Recycler 20017 are other machines to look at (I think they are both made by toro), but now we're up to about $400...

I'm in the market for one also and have heard great things about the Toro brand, especially their self propelled mowers. Does anyone have any experience with any of their models?
