the best one I ever had looked good in a bikini while doing it,had that big front end emgine your lookin for, was not afraid to take an occasional break to bring me a beer, and did so in the silent mode...they may be hard to find these days as that model has all but disappered off the matket....the riding kind was always more enjoyable...
WOLF, no need to go with a "commercial size engine" unless you're running it for 3-400 hours a year
LawnBoy self propells come in several different models ranging in price from $250 to $450 depending on engine size and cut size.
Buy two extra blades so you can conveniently switch them out about every seventh or eighth cut (and then take them all in for $5 sharpening twice a year) and keep the filter clean and any of those should run for a solid 4-500 hours before being noticeably weaker on compression. For most homeowners that would be a six to eight year period depending on size and frequency of mowing

Get one of these bad boys.... They actually cut better than gas powered ones, Great workout.They have come along way since the old ones. And Gas powered lawnmowers are horrible for the environment. The emissions coming out of a gas powered lawn mower are extremely high.
Well yeah...maybe a bit. But I'm using mine for contract work so I don't mow unless it's still got a decent edge.
Plus here in Tampa Bay area, we have a higher sand content within most lawns, regardless of the grass quality and sand just beats the edge off a mower blade.
