This 3-1/2-horsepower, 20-inch side-discharge gas mower is a well-made beauty. Tomato-hued and skillfully tooled, this machine was built to do the job and do it for a long time. For a relatively low price, you get a powerful mower with a variety of features. Three settings in the mower deck allow you to adjust the wheels to different heights, though adjustments require that you remove all the wheels and reattach them in the new setting, so it's not an easy flick of a lever--you likely won't be switching settings frequently. Easier is the decision to discharge, bag, or mulch. A flip of the side flap converts the mower from mulch to side discharge, or you can hook up a bag (the 1.6-bushel grass catcher is not included). Tree guards prevent you from injuring tree trunks and shrubbery, the engine is low-emission, and the machine rolls smoothly and maneuvers well. A caveat: assembly of this mower is not for the faint of heart. A well-stocked toolbox is required; without a good supply of wrenches, your lawn will be a jungle before you get the lower handle attached to the upper handle (not to mention attaching the wheels, the blade control handle, and the brake cable). However, if you've got an hour to spare, enjoy the challenge of assembly instructions (clear and detailed though they are), and don't require a power mower that is self-propelled (you push this one--the engine is just for the blade), this side-discharge gas mower is a quality item at a bargain price.
Features a 148cc, Briggs & Stratton 300 series engine push mower. 20-Inch steel deck with side bag capabilities.
