Hi everyone. I'm new to these forums and am looking for some advice on a new self-propelled lawn mower.
I've had a couple CRAFTSMAN mowers and both have been great as far as reliability goes...single pull all the time and she fires right up. My biggest issue with this current one, is that over time, it seems like the rear bag doesn't fit too well and I'm constantly getting grass blown in my face while I mow. And if the bag is empty and you hit a large bump, the bag will fly off causing me to have to stop and re-install.
I did just find that I apparently have an oil leak also as I noticed some sludge along the bottom of the motor. So with that, I decided after 7+ years, it was time for a new mower.
So...any suggestions on a new mower?
I'm not opposed to a CRAFTSMAN again but I want to see how the bag fits now...if it's more secure.
I also saw a Husqvarna at SEARS that looks nice, but I didn't see many good reviews on it on the SEARS site.
