After my old Toro gas lawn mower broke a decision had to be made … use the battery operated mower we had or buy new. Am I glad we bought a Troy Built high wheel gas powered mower. The large back wheels make maneuverability simple, the cutting path is wide and the cut blades of grass are cut clean. With my ear buds in place I am happy to complete yard work… the noise level of the mower does not distract from my audiobook! Looking for a new mower? You can’t go wrong either a Troy Built!
