Troy Bilt Lawn Mower - Good Brand?

[aphex]

Saw a Troy Bilt 21" self propelled multi-speed mower on clearance at Lowes for a good price $279 - 15% off movers guide coupon = $237 + tax

Should I go for the Troy Built or similar Toro for another $70 at Home Depot

Troy Bilt are supposed to be pretty good. At least thats what I found when I was researching riding mowers a year ago.

Troybilt has a great reputation, but I don't know how good the mowers are.

I've also been looking at them at Lowes.

They had a nice looking John Deere this past summer, but I just can't bring myself to buy Deere..."Friends don't let friends drive green equipment."

I have a John Deere riding mower, and I hate it. It's the last Deere I'll own.

I'm on year 4 of my $100 craftsman push mower. Haven't done anything but clean the airfilter.

Same here. I've put as much money into repairs of my 6-year old John Deere that I could have bought a new one.

I bought a Troy Bilt this season...Self propelled, electric start, castor wheels up front, 6hp Kawasaki engine. Reg $780, got it for $240.

Love it.
