Snapper self propelled friction disc drive. Those will cut anything. I have one the old red with white Briggs 4hp cast iron electric start. It will cut up the aluminum soda cans with no problem and wont stall the mower either. I also have newer one from the 90's.

I agree snapper disc drive is the best set up

Those disc drives are nice my snowblower has a friction disc set up and will push anything and never loses traction. Honda commercial engines are good to, and I think kohler makes decent small mower engines I've heard good things but never ran one

I think there's couple of Husqvarna walk behind models that have the 6.5hp Kohler engine on them.

For St. Augustine? Find an old Snapper Wisconsin Robin 2cycle. Eats right thru it.

Just curious why are you cutting up soda cans? Myself I pick them up and bring them to the recycle center. 5 cents a can we get.

I was curious one day and wanted to see what would happen if I mowed over empty soda can and it can came of the side discharge in bunch small tiny pieces.
