Hmmmm. There's alot of incorrect info being given to this point. MTD stands for Modern Tool and Die. Although MTD has bought up alot of other brands, Murray is not one of them.

Lawn tractors all use 4 stroke motors in them, as do most snowblowers, lawn mowers and generators. There are the odd exceptions but those are few and far between. If there is a crankcase for oil to go into, then the engine is definitely a 4 stroke. As several people have already suggested, 30 weight motor oil is the first choice for air cooled engines in outdoor power equipment. However, straight grades of motor oil are getting a bit harder to find these days so you can also use a multi-grade oil such as 15W40, 20W40 or 20W50 in everything except the snowblower. I would use 10W30 or 5W30 in that engine because it is only used during cold weather and that particular multigrade will help it spin over a bit easier in sub-zero temps. My personal preference is Shell's Rotella T oil but any direct equivelant is fine. Just make sure you change the oil every 25 hours hours MAX and keep the oil level filled to the line inbetween changees.

What is the machine that gardeners use called?

Q. What is the machine that they use on the border of the grass and concrete? It's a tiny lawn mower kind of thing with a circular blade in it and it makes a scraping noise when it hits the concrete. It's very annoying and I'd like to know what it is called and what the purpose of it is. Thanks!


Answer
An edger?

An edger (also known as a lawn edger or stick edger) is a garden tool used to cleanly separate a lawn from a walkway or other paved surface, such as a concrete sidewalk or asphalt path. Edgers may be manual or automated, typically employing a small two-stroke gasoline motor or an electric motor. Use of an edger defines a clear separation between the lawn and the walkway, imparting a finished appearance that is neater than can be achieved by merely mowing over the border of the lawn and walkway (which frequently permits tufts of low-growing grass to hang over onto the walkway, resulting in an irregular or ragged appearance).

lol!
