When I moved in 1992 I sold that one and bought a smaller one that my brother had and that is the one that I have now.

You would think a large one would work better, but they are a pain in the **** to move around..

A smaller one is much better.. I have a 24" 5 or 7 hp one I bought over 10 years ago

I have a 20" with a worn out 2cycle that is about done. My last one had a 5 HP 4cycle that was just too big. Was fine at the other house that had a circle drive.

Patty says "no", she wants to hire it done. If I get another one it will be a 4 cycle that I get at Lowe's with my 10% Veterans discount.

I hang it on the wall of the shed so it doesn't take up any floor space.
