I have heard a lot of talk on gardenweb about lawn-boys. Mostly everyone on there is a lawn-boy freak. What's your oppinion on them.

Good motors, but I can't stand the decks with the front discharge and funky wheel setup. My yard isn't perfectly flat so a lawnboy with the front discharge just gets hung up and scalps the yard.

yeah they would kill a uneven yard but exellent on flat ones

That would funny watching a lawn-boy screw up your uneven lawn. It makes me laugh at such a poorly designed deck. :lol:

I like the engines on them but not the deck. I would like to take a duraforce and put it on a snapper or toro proline. Now that's a mean cutting machine!

"times thrice" That sounds stupid. I do have espect for lawn-boys. I just don't like them andpersonal pace. :)

bugman

well they don't have good designed decks

Scott15

That's what I say. They don't even fit in my wagon I carry my equipment in.

bugman

yeah but they are good but not for commercial use unless you want to use them. a pusher with a briggs 4 cycle cuts grass beautifully. holds up and doesn't mess the uneven yard up.

craftsman too great warranty. haven't had a prob with mine.

Scott15

Craftsman is good for homeowners only. That would be funny if they made one for the professionals. :lol: :lol: :lol:

bugman

they are for pro's but not the cheap ones. i spent around 350 bucks on mine. kept up with utter hell and abuse. never a problem, starts on first pull and its going on three years old, used extensively

well mines held the test for wear. but of course the briggs is the strong point. never get it with a tec.

Scott15
12-06-2004, 09:03 PM
Yard-man with a tec is awsome! I have one that's great. It's a side valve. Not a ohv.

bugman
12-06-2004, 09:09 PM
yeah those ohv's are great but not for continuous use. usually just as a generator is fine or a rider but a pusher, no.

Scott15

The guys on gardenweb are lawn-boy, honda, and something else freaks. They hate briggs. They need to try one and see how good they are.

bugman
12-08-2004, 02:14 AM
damn straight they do honda freaks

Scott15

The new Lawn Boy built by TORO is junk!!! They have not built a good Lawn Boy in years.

bugman
12-28-2004, 09:29 PM
yeah the oldy's are the good ones to me as well

Toro thinks they can fool people shoping for a mower by puting green paint on a recycler and call it a gold series lawn-boy. That's stupid. And the worst part is that it has a honda engine. It's just like at home depot where they have a murray with a 6.5 engine and they have a propelled murray with a 6.25 hp engine. Some REALLY stupid people would get the 6.25 because they think it has more hp. But really it has less because it is a fouth compared to the one that has half. The 6.5 has more power.

bugman
12-29-2004, 10:43 PM
yeah its relatively the same power. for pushers the 6.5 for propelled ones its maybe 6.25 to not give any drop in cutting power compared to the 6.5

Scott15
12-30-2004, 08:04 PM
I know that! I'm just saying that people somtimes believe that the 6.25 looks better than the 6.5. But the 6.5 is more powerful.

bugman
12-30-2004, 10:27 PM
nope relatively the same just a little more torque in the 6.25 but not much more more like a couple points or so.

Scott15
12-31-2004, 07:37 PM
you idiot! The 6.25 has less. It is a quarter compared to the 6.5 is a half.

bugman
12-31-2004, 08:59 PM
who gives. they are relatively the same thing. the 6.5 or the 6.25 who gives a crap. the 6.25 is a couple points ahead in torqe. like if the 6.5 was a 1 the 6.25 would be a 1.1.

Scott15
12-31-2004, 10:16 PM
But mathematically it is less than a half. A quarter is less than a half. Am I right?

bugman
12-31-2004, 10:21 PM
yes in power but the torque is the key but who cares its not by much.

Scott15
