    My lawn boy is amazing! It's super light, I mean I can pick it up with no effort, and it plows through anything and I never have to worry. And it ALWAYS starts up on the first start. Thats what they advertise for.

    We also have a honda mower, its heavy as shit, but it runs like a top! We'll probably never have any problems with it.

    I finally get to post something that i may know a little about, I have been hanging out for a while now, just checking out what you all had to say about the Tacoma and what was goin on with some of the mods, I have really enjoyed reading all the post and learnin some of the stuff about the tacomas and man you all really love the tacoma, I guess that is how they came up with the name for the website Tacoma World, anyway on to the point i would have to say the best mower ever is the John Deere 318, it is the last model of a great american lawn tractor, anyone interested in classic john deere lawn tractors check out www.weekendfreedommachines.com, by the way I am not an owner of a tacoma, hopefully one day i will get one, they seem to be good trucks. Anyway keep up the good work i dont think i have seem a bad looking tacoma yet on this site

    I have a 33 year old John Deere self propelled mower. My mom bought it new in the late 70's. I havent had a problem yet. The rear wheels are finally starting to wear out.

    I also have a MTD riding mower that I bought new about 18 years ago. Not a problem with that either.
