Here are our walkbehinds:

on the right a SABO with Suzuki 2stroke engine. In the middle a Toro with 2stroke engine and on the left the Klippo Mulcher.

That's an interesting fleet, Mac.

Anything with a two-stroke engine interests me -- as you might guess.

Question regarding the mulcher on the left: what does the pivot point in the handle do? I've never seen anything like that.

The lever is for shifting gear. Klippo has Slow-Neutral-Fast. Front drive. Neutral means, that the mower also can be used without selfdrive.

Actually, my question was about the whole X-shaped handle, which I now believe is designed to come apart for easier storage. I've just never seen a mower with a handle in that shape.

Here's my two-stroke mower, an incredible Lawn Boy model 7266.

This is a photo of my faithful Jacobsen. It's only a B&S four-stroke so it's obviously inferior but I keep it 74 miles away from the Lawn Boy so it won't get a complex.

This one isn't a lawn mower - it's a rough-cut mower - good for brush clearing. It's a Billy Goat brand and has a Honda model GXV340 engine -- alas, a four-stroke, but at least it has overhead valves. The mower has three forward speeds and reverse.

35 years ago, Lawnboy was offered by Stihl. Same design like on the pic. I do not know, if they ever have sold one.

The Xshape of the handle at the Klippo? You can not see it on the pic very clear, but there is a screw, which can be loosen with one hand, so You can go beside the mower, to reach corners or work under bushes.

KLIPPO -

New Model, but nearly the same the ours.
