I still haven't purchased a lawnmower yet, though the grass really hasn't started growing up here either.  Upon closer examination of the Husqvarna machine I realized it was just a regular Sers mower painted orange with some husky stickers on it.  The ones at the Husky dealer looked liked a much better and more robust beast, though much pricier.  So the hunt continues.

Does anyone own a Husqvarna lawnmower, and would your recommend buying one?  I noticed Sears has the 6.75 B&S Husqvarna, and it looked pretty good to me.

I would like to keep the price on my new mower under $500 if possible, if that helps.

Hi Guys,

The warmer weather and lack of snow fall here in Massachusetts has gotten me to think about spring and summer, and more specifically, replacing my old Craftsman Lawnmower.  I have hated my 6.5hp Craftsman 22" rear discharge seld propelled lawnmower since I bought it 8 years ago, and regret putting my old Snapper out to pasture.  So this year I am buying a new lawnmower, what brand and type would you suggest.  I have a quarter acre house lot to mow, so not a lot, but I want a machine that will last and start without major issues each time.  I don't care about a key start, and tend to bag my clippings and haul them to the dump.

Any advice is apprecited.

Thanks,

Mike

After last weekends snow storm in which my new Ariens 11528le performed flawlessly, I am now thinking about doing the breakin oil change, and was wondering should I use a regular or synthetic oil?  What would a synthetic do for me?  I am in the habit of changing the oil in my snowblower and running her dry at the end of each season, and have been doing so since I was 10yrs old.

Any advice would be appreciated, because I am not familiar with synthetic oils, but seem to see them mentioned her a lot.
