    Yes sir. Toro's personal pace system. RWD. The bar on the handle slides. The more you push the faster it goes. Feel like a slow walk, it goes slow. Sort of matches your pace. Old one had it. It's pretty slick. New one is much more sensitive and responsive. Engine is 40cc less (150 versus 190), but seems more powerful.

    PSA. Purchased it at a local dealer versus big box store. Was only $20 more. Came fully assembled and tested, they registered it for me for the 3 yr warranty, I get a side discharge unit (will be mailed in 2-3 weeks), a free 15oz bottle of oil. And they tossed in Toro and Echo t-shirts. And in the event it needs to be serviced, free pickup and drop off.

    It’s Getting tired also. Paid $100 for it like 8 years ago.
    When she blows up, I’ll find another one on the side of the road.

    My grandfather had a pic of me driving that beast. I wasn’t even 12 years old.

    I've seen one in use somewhere near bangor this year. I did a triple take I think.

    The more safety/computer shit is made, the dumber and common sense deprivation is introduced into society.

    Well he called me laughing, and asked if people have been staying back a bit when I'm sitting at stop lights. Apparently this truck just likes to fuck with everyone's heads
