Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

The only mower wider than 22" that I could find is a Snapper that retails for just over $1,000. It is 26" wide. My problem is my yard is two levels so a rider isn't practical but I have just enough of a yard that I want the widest I can find in a good quality walk behind, self propelled mower.

Smitty,

I remember a discussion of this same subject last year on WTB. I remember saying that I wish someone in the industry would introduce a 28-30" single blade walk behind, with a 9HP Honda, Kawa, Briggs or Robin. It doesn't need a hydro tranny, disc drive or gears are fine with me. Put the deck on chains so it's a floating deck and keep everthing else simple. Make it with a Gator type blade and retail it at 999.00. I think you would sell a ton of them.

Gone, but not forgotten.

Anybody need a 16HP chain saw?

Rob, you still have that Gravely?


You reminded me..on behave of Dave_in_Ct, who on a trip right now, I know he would post the BCS Products.

I sold it to a friend, but I can borrow it or buy it back if I want, or he wants to sell.

That BCS looks like the best thing on the block that you can get new right now. I forgot all about them. On behalf of Dave, Thanks.

Toro (among others) makes commercial self propelled walk behinds also, including the 32" wide unit I posted a link to below. The "T-Bar" floating deck 32" wide mower has a 13 HP Kohler and can be equipped with a sulky. See their website:

These are gonna be expensive, probably more than some lawn tractors, but they will last a looooonnnnng time.

Joe, how much do believe the smaller 32" 13 HP Toro goes for today? I looked at one when I bought my 33", 15HP Kohler, Snapper RER. I remember it was more expensive that the Snapper at that time, I'll be danged if I can remember how much though? I sure did like it though.
