My Honda HRR216 self-propelled mower has been kicking my butt lately because the self-propelling feature stopped working and it has turned into a push, push, push, mower. This mower model has an issue with the rear wheels locking up when pulling it backwards. Honda issued a service bulletin...

Thanks for your recommendations but those models are not available here in Uruguay. The TS254G is the largest ride-on that Husqvarna sells here. I'm now leaning towards a zero turn. John Deere, Hustler Raptor, Husqvarna, and Toro are the brands they sell here and they all sell for about double...

Thanks for your input. That Husqvarna model is a popular one and has 1868 reviews just on Lowes alone. 72% of them recommend it which today is a high number. Here is the refined product review summary: The mower has a mixed performance, with some users reporting it is powerful, maneuverable...

So that being the case, would you recommend a small tractor with a rotary cutter attachment like maybe a Kubota or something similar?

Thanks for correcting me but I'm looking for recommendations. Out of the three, is there any one brand that is better than the rest?

Greetings to all members, I'm in the market for a new ride-on mower but after having researched the reliability of different brands, it seems like they've all fallen off in that regard these days. In 2004, I purchased a Troy-Bilt Bronco model with the B&S Intek engine and used it with pretty...
