Reply to comment by hov818 in toro lawnmower used $100 or a new honda lawnmower for $500 by hov818

If it all looks clean and not too old I’d take the Briggs Toro man. 1/5th the price and they are known to last. Worst case it lasts many many years and you upgrade when it fails. What upside is there to buy a new one now? The Briggs might last a decade or more at 1/5 the price.

They are stopping producing the deck not the engines. It is the engine that is really what matters. Anyone can toss together a metal shell. That’s not the bifl failure point. You’ll still be able to buy a Honda engine toro for instance (best of both).
