Whoa! That thing is bad to the bone ! Wicked. Never knew Toros had any nuts at all! I like Kawasaki Engines,but have only used them on Scagg Commercial mower.I know Other small walk behind mowers use them too ,but they are very expensive.There have been several threads about two-stroke vs four-stroke and you can guess where I come down on that issue. :laughing:
Somebody mentioned cutting 1' tall grass. The ultimate mower for that kind of job is a Suzuki-powered Toro (two-stroke). I think it's actually overpowered for mowing "lawns". I use it as a cross between a field mower and a regular lawn mower.
I love that movie. I wonder who decided to put that Mower in the film. James had mentioned that he was a "Lawn boy ",taking care of a neighbor's lawn for like 2 years ,so he would have needed a solid mower ! There is a cool looking LB on Ebay now that is completely restored ,5HP ,2-stroke. don't know how good they were Lawn Boy M21ZPRC M Series 2 Cycle Push Mower Restored Magnesium Deck 5 0 HP | eBay and look at this !! Lawn Boy Cast Aluminum Walk Behind Push Mower Mulcher 1013707 | eBay & Lawnboy 2 Cycle Mower Model 5247 19 inch Aluminum Deck F100 Engine | eBay & Vintage 1983 Lawn Boy 8240AE Electric Start Self Propel 2 Stroke Alum Deck | eBay
Yes ,I saw that it was a Suzuki engine .I have never seen one of those(Suzuki engine) on a mower. I owned several Yamaha RD400 2 stroke twin Street bikes when I was younger. They were too much fun. I think it would be neat to yank the muffler off ,& put an expansion chamber on a 2 stroke mower to hear it wing!! ,like the ones those kids put on their Go-peds. I guess it would be annoying after a while ,but crazy anyway.I wonder if anyone out there has done that.
I agree with you 100% I know even my Dura force mowers were Green Toros,as is my new mower. I have used the old Commercial Lawn Boy mowers back in the 80's with the Huge Fuel tank ,and the gaurd around the engine ,they were light ,even with that huge tank ,and unstoppable.
