Need a recomendation on a lawn mower (landscaping, grass, front yard)

[joesanphoto]

Im looking to do my own landscaping. I have a small yard and even smaller front yard in lindenhurst, and wondering what typ eof mower to get. Is it better to go with one of these bagless "mulch" mowers or a something with a bag..

Any recomendations!

Thank you sooo much in advance!

I recommend the combo. Mulching is good if you can keep up with it, but if you let it go more than a week... ever, you will need to bag it at some point.

I have a lawnboy which mulches, bags and side discharges. I like it a lot. self propelled, with the peronsal pace system that adjusts by how fast you're moving, honda engine. I would recommend going to an actual mower store, they have higher quality merchandise than Home Depot. My last mower I bought used, it was probably 15-20 years old when I bought it, and lasted about 5 yrs. I'm hoping to keep my current purchase 15-20 yrs, so I went with the higher quality.

Sears has a decent selection and i have the combo but mostly bag

i have a toro and love it...

Toro - Homeowner Mowers

always starts on the first pull, mulches great... also has the bag option for when the grass is too long, as mentioned above

last mower i had was a craftsman, and i had nothing but headaches with it...


edit: i mow my lawn 2x a week in the summer and do it in a baseballfield cross hatch pattern, so i demand a lot from my mower

Here's what I use and it kicks butt. Never had a problem with it and god help whatever blades of grass, weeds, or botanical organism that stands in its way.

Residential property owners and others who seek reliable proven performance and quality.



The 7021R walk-behind mower is powered by the innovative Honda GCV 160 engine. A 21" deck that is capable of mulching, side discharge, or bagging gives you the versatility to change the mowing technique based on conditions or desires. AutoWalk self-propelled rear wheel drive system is activated by simply squeezing the trigger on the handlebar.

Bought a Toro Personal Pace combo from Home Depot 2 years ago- still living. Change the oil after the first 5 hours of use. Keep it cleaned and oiled at the wheel height adjustments. Change the spark plug every few years. It's a reliable lawnmower and will treat you right, if you treat it right. Starts right up on the first pull.
