Ok i just finished my 3 lawn cut and it seems the mower is faster, would that be because the motor is breakin in now. Only has the one speed put seems to go faster when i engaged the fwd. Also i never had a fwd belt drive and i was wordering when i come to the end of a cut is it better to lift the front of the machine or keep stoping the wheels with the handle. Thanks for all your help

Probably just lift the front of the machine..
Yeah, just lift up the front and turn around like you would a regular push mower. You'll see the front wheels rotating in mid-air, but no big deal.
Be careful of those "Chondas". Chinese manufacturers bought castings (somewhat out of tolerance in many cases) and designs/patents from Honda. Did I mention that Honda is kicking themselves in the #@$%! for doing it? The Chinese have flooded the market with these cheap engines in many applications and they are suspect at best. That's why you can buy a mower with a Chonda for well under $300 instead of over $400. I bought a used (almost brand new) mini bike for $300 and was very relieved to get my money back out of it soon after. These chinese folks also bought plans for XR200, 150, and 110cc engines. They are made with material that's more like lead than cast metal or aluminum. When you get them, you have to replace all the bolts and nuts with stronger ones and you never know if the casings or inner-workings are going to hold together for very long. BE WARY!
No yardmen would never take a bad fall like that sure the engines where tested and the price was great comes with a 2 year warranty also. Also the front of the bag comes off real easy and the front fits real nice in a leave bag no spilling. Let everybody know if i have a problem but she looks well built nice color also.
And you get your information where?
Whatever engine is on this mower, it's the strong point!
yeehaw your wrong on one statement you can buy a push mower with a honda engine from lowes for under 330.
I researched this for hours on the internet and talked to two "retailers" who sell the Chinese knock-off dirt bikes. I was going to buy one of the $1000 four stroke dirt bikes until I found that parts were near impossible to find, and that "most" people who sell the stuff, buy it in lots and just turn around and EBay it off without any thought to service after the sale. The engine on my Baja Heat mini bike had loose bolts, a damaged recoil, defective oil plug, and numerous other defects. The throttle literally crumbled in my hand the first time I cranked it. You can actually buy a Honda at Lowes or the other major chains for about $330, but it's belt driven and assembled in Mexico. A real Honda (one's we've grown to love) with shaft drive that lasts 10 years past forever is considerably more. I'm betting that one of us in this room could buy something with the knock off engine on it and make it last several years, but that's only because we can meet the considerable demands in upkeep it would place on us.
