Just mowed the neighbor's yard(she just had surgery) this morning with one of my "new" Lawnboys.
The grass was thick and wet and I really should have bagged it rather than mulched, but it didn't miss a beat other than bogging down a couple of times in really thick grass.
Yes it's smoky, but it runs great.
When everyone around you is using 4 strokes, the high pitched buzzing of a 2 stroke really stands out, though, and I got a few lingering looks using it.
Still, though, I'm super happy. The neighbors yard is also steep enough that I was glad ot have self propelled.
Assuming the weather clears better this afternoon, my wife wants to go out and take a ride in the MG. There's a station in a little rural town about a half hour away that sells E0, so I can fill the MG and a couple of cans up with E0. I also ordered some genuine Lawnboy 2 stroke oil, which Toro still sells(I guess they keep the brand alive for the 2 stroke weedeaters/etc they still make).
