I think most lawnmowers have "small bags." I normally mulch, but when bagging I park my wheelbarrow nearby. I can dump the bag in the wheelbarrow twice and then put a full bag on top and take it to my compost pile etc. This year I wasn't composting and just put my lawn and leaf bag stand nearby and kept dumping the bagger. Ended up with nine 33 cu ft bags of leaves.
I am seriously looking at tha mower....just wating to see it in person
Sir, why must you be in Virginia ?
I could use the bags of leaves.
It seems as if people around here have stopped bagging and giving away their leaves, much to my dismay.
O'er the years I have scrounged hundreds of bags - only to have them "disappear" into the soil...and now I'll be doing this again.
A tarp on the ground to replace a concrete slab
Tons of leaves and garbage and grass and manure
About 3 years later, I'll have something to add to my soil.
A fair amount of work, but its therapeutic and necessary.
Lawn mowing in York County during this past year....what a battle....rain...rain...rain...expect for 7 days, the grass never really dried.
Even now some places are still flooded with water and ice.
My backyard is a candidate for rice fields...

1) Virginia is where the Navy left me.
2) My ex lives in NY and I appreciate PA being a buffer. :laughing:
I normally put the leaves on my flower beds and vegetable raisd beds where they also disappear but I was fighting the last of a bad hip and just needed the leaves off my lawn so as to not kill it. Sitting here now with a 8 day old hip replacement and feeling better already. Doctor said the old hip (OEM bone) was "totally gone." I'll be able to keep up with the yard and garden better this year.

Most interesting.
I hope that Kerrys of Mechanicsburg has these this spring.
30" is exactly what the doctor ordered.

That looks sweet!
1) They provide the 3 in 1 standard. Even if I only discharge once or twice, I want that option. My parents bought the mulch only mower with their last JD tractor. If it rained and you had to cut much, you had to do it twice. Otherwise the mower would load up and break the $100 timing belt used to keep the two side be side blades from hitting each other. Whoever designed and okayed production of that mower should be sentenced to mow the Amazon jungle for the rest of their life.
2) It has a clean out port. I can't get the deck as clean with a plastic putty knife, bristle brush and a hose as that port does in 90 seconds!

The Toro could well be the very best mower on the market , after all, they have been at it since day9.
And, IIRC, the Lawn Boy was made by Toro...the LB is/was an excellent mower.. I love the "PersonalPace". .
I'd like to see Toro offer the Honda engine; hopefully , the B & S is sufficient.
Mulch only may be OK for some grasses, some areas. Here in PA , where it rains nearly day, one must have options to suit the conditions.
A very cool looking mower. Toro is taking some really big steps and from what little I have heard have prepared well. Toro customers are taking some steps as well buying the new products. Im looking forward to the spring lineup at HD and what few Toro dealers are in my area to see just how they play their hand this year.

A little confused over here.When you guys say "Dealer",who are you speaking of? I'm leaning on going to SEARS to check a few self-props out,but I dont think you're talking a big chain like SEARS are you? I too have about a 1/2 acre yard,but it has a drop down wall of about a foot at the halfway point,so no rider will do for me.Help on the "dealer" talk please.Thanks.
