I had a Silver Series 10201 with the V series engine on it. It was rough and noisey, but that thing would chew through thick grass, heavy weeds, and small saplings! It was a beast of a powerhouse until the connecting rod snapped in half. Still looking for another Lawn Boy, but one with the aluminum deck. My aluminum deck John Deere 14SB weighs 111 lbs dry, and I want something a little lighter!
