Best Mower for Picking up Fall Leaves

[Carscw]

OK thanks for the tips. What I usually do is only overlap just maybe an inch (not as much as I did in the picture) but because I was vacuuming up the leaves I wanted to overlap a little more so that the leaves don't hit the front of the mower, get pushed outward, and end up not being vacuumed up by the mower. But thanks for the advice! :smile: See the following picture for how much I usually overlap:

Now that looks nice.

Been thinking of getting a Honda but i love snappers. Not sure I will like this years model so thinking about toro or Honda.

Have you looked to see if you can get gator blades for your Honda ?

(( racing is the only sport that you need two balls ))

No I have not looked to see if I can, but I bet there are blades available for it. Just curious, what do you think you might not like about this year's Snapper models because my dealer sells Snapper and I was seriously looking at them before.

Went to my dealer and pushed one around for awhile and it just did not feel right. Maybe I am just upset that they started selling them at walmart.
I think snapper gives the best cut but I really have never used any other brand to compare it to.

I have a 94 model I like the cut so good I am on my 3rd engine on it

Yeah I used a Snapper Big Six last year and really liked the mower, but the blades were VERY dull so I couldn't compare the cut with other brands. I really like the controls on the Snapper! :thumbsup:

I have another update. I had not even unpacked my new mower when I started having buyer's remorse. So I put it back in the car, drove back and returned it. Then I spent another $100 to get the HRX217HYA. So now I have exactly the mower I wanted and I'm looking forwarded to the additional luxury of Rotostop when dumping leaves into bags.

Awesome! I think you will be glad you spent the extra $100. :thumbsup:
