I just closed on a new home on Friday that sits on a 1/2 acre.

I want to get a push mower - and out of all the lawn mowers at Home Depot and Lowes, i'm stuck between trying to decide on a Toro or John Deer.

Anyone have any suggestions as to which one to by, and even a possible model number?

Also - would you suggest a push mower over a riding zero degree lawn mower? I really think those are cool - but not sure if it's too much for a 1/2 acre yard.

Thanks!

The model would depend on how healthy you are. If you're young, then a pushmower, if you're older you might want the riding mower.

How about a self propelled model, that makes it easy to push or really guide. Either one of the manufacturers should be good, they have both been around for an age and are known for their products. Between the 2, I would probably go with the Deere, just because I like the green over the red.

This Toro Personal Pace lawn mower was left with fuel for a year or two. I cleaned the carburetor, replaced the oil, replaced the spark plug, checked the air filter, and put new gas. When I use starting fluid or prime 5-10 times, it starts. But it won't keep running. It dies after few seconds.

What could be the problem? Please help!

It sounds like you did everything necessary to get it running after it sitting around for that amount of time. I would bring it to the Toro dealer. Its probably something you just can't do on your own.

I have one, my second one - I like the personal pace drive system. I'm not a fan of the way the bagging system works.

I have a Toro GTS 6.0hp lawn mower. Model #20023. I can't figure out why it keeps stalling out. I have changed the spark plug, cleaned the caribrator, cleaned the gas tank out, put a new fuel line on and nothing has worked. Please help.

I am a mechanic and it sounds like you covered the bases, might check the coil or the pick up. There can't be much else that could fail. (carburetor)

I have a self propelled toro and when i start the motor it sounds like it should, but when i start mowing it makes a loud knocking noise. Any suggestions?

check the blades, something may get stuck there, or the blades became loose.
