FUCK Briggs...I don't care what their reputation is. I had 2 of them (used to do landscaping) and they SUCKED. Tecumseh and Honda is where it's at. Honda is THE number 1 prefferred mower by landscapers.

Go to home depot and pick yourself one up for about 400-600$ depending which you get. DO NOT get yourself a Scotts, Murrah, or...shit, who else is out there? I own a snapper. I've had two of them. They fucking ROCKED. I put them through ALL hell, and they rocked out. Would sell you one, but I only have one left, and my mom uses it. It's been in service about 7 years, now...landscaping, and private use.
