I got great advice on a snowblower...now i need the same for a lawnmower
Original Message   Mar 15, 2005 9:12 am
During the late fall of last year I got great advice on a Ariens 926DLE. It worked great when the snow was deeper than 2 inches. Below that height and it was a snow spitter.

Anyway. I am in the market for a new lawnmower. I would like to purchase from the same local retailer I bought my snowblower. Below are the models I will be looking into.

1. Toro 20057 Personal Pace, $650 (not at retailer I prefer but thought it should be included)

2. Snapper - Hi-Vac (P217018bv s/p), $569

3. Ariens - SLM 21SW, $539

What are your feelings about these 3 models?

What are the advantages/disadvantages of a straight axel and swivel casters?

Are the leaf shredder kits worthwhile?

The toro has a cast aluminum deck while the other 2 are steel. Are the aluminum decks more prone to cracking and bending compared to the steel decks.

Are there stripping rollers available for these mowers?

Please add any other info that may be helpful

Thanks in advance
