Lawn Mowers and other gas powered stuff....There is nothing like a Toro.
The vast majority of them are darned near the same. Only a few brands of engines out there, and that's all the things are - an engine with a sharp propeller on the underside. Buy the one from someone that will stand behind it with a good warranty and support program.
My mower started acting up last year. I have a sears Craftsman. I could not get the darn thing started and broke the blasted pull cord. Got that fixed, but the only way I could get it running was to give it a blast of starting fluid. After that it ran fine. I'm convinced it was dirt in the carb as it seemed to be fine by the next time I had to cut the lawn. I'll probably have to have it rebuilt though as it'll probably happen again this year.
I did not add the gasoline additive he sold me but it is hard to believe the engine is that sensitive. Oh well, I will give it a try this afternoon.
Oh wait.. I'm already there! I should do this more often. I got a lot done today, and didn't have the stresses of people constantly barraging me with crap.

When I was self employed it was fun to tease the employed people at the racquetbball club by saying I had to leave to attend a staff meeting.

PAP N' just to say why don’t you all just hire a gardener for $40-$80 a month. That way you’ll have more free time for yourself.
My Dad did the yard work every weekend until he got to mid 70’s and finally hired a gardener and he told me that the best thing he ever did as he could set back and enjoy a cold drink or spent more time golfing with his buddies.

I will probably do that if I follow through with a house up in PA (won't be here in MD on the weekends anymore), but I don't have that much to take care of.

Sears Every year I call them and they come out and service the Tiller and the riding mower cost about 100.00 that includes sharpening the blades

they are that sensitive ...leave a woman stored in the cold for that long and she either not start, or quit.....just a drop of water in the fuel system and you can crank all day and she wont start......clean air filter helps too

You mean to tell me you start your lawn mower more than your SSR

ok ok I get it....so do you start the snow thrower more than the SSR....
