How good is the toro supper bagger?

Garry_Mitc

I am thinking of getting a toro super bagger with Honda 160 engine. The other is a Honda hrx mower. What are your opinions so I can choose the mower? Thanks

Answer
I'd go with recommendations by Consumer Reports. They just came out with their latest reviews of the top lawn mowers for this year and several Toro mowers are on top of the list. The Toro Super Bagger 20192 is one of their top "Recommended" mowers.

2011 Best Lawn Mower Recommendations by Consumer Reports:

Some of the Toro mowers mentioned are:

Toro Super Recycler Self-Propelled Mower 20092
Toro Super Bagger 20192
Toro Recycler 20333 (this was on last year's list as a "best buy" also)
Toro Recycler 2033

Should I use 10w-30 or Sae 30 for my Craftsman Riding Mower? Briggs and Straton 500cc?

I have the 42" Craftsman Riding tractor (Gray one) 2011 model with the Briggs and Stratton 500cc engine....Not the new 420cc engine not made by B&S. My question is should I be using 10w-30 or Sae 30 in the engine? I've been using Mobil super 10w-30, but after a little reading some are saying use SAE 30. Should I switch over to SAE 30 from 10W-30?

Also any brand I should be using? (i.e. Mobil, Valvoline, Castrol etc.)

I change the spark plug, oil, and air filter every season. There is no oil filter.

Thanks!

Answer
The 10w only means it will still retain its 30 weight viscosity at 10 degrees Fahrenheit, Mobil makes a good oil if your into extended periods between oil changes, if you don't mind paying for it, but as you change your oil every year you'd get the same advantage from just using a straight grade SAE 30 that cost much less, I just use the SAE 30 Castrol myself, and hell I'm a mechanic that wouldn't even think about mowing my lawn when its that cold outside, I'm out in the shop or on the couch drinking beer.
