I am really getting frustrated with product reviews and wonder how valid some are . I was looking at rider mowers and self propelled . Many reviewers give them a 5 star and a few give them a 1 star and say they are junk .
My rider mower ( Troy Built Bronco ) crapped out on me and I was looking at new ones but couldn't make up my mind . I have a walk behind with a bagger but at 71 , I don't want to PUSH it for the next few years . I figured a self propelled with bagger would do . My lot is 180 X 110 and subtracting the house , driveway , shed , garden , etc , I have about 1/3 acre . Instead of mowing with a rider and then walking for exercise , why not walk behind the self -propelled mower .
Anyway , I find the reviews confusing and wonder how valid they are . People mention wheels bending , wheels falling off , belts falling off the pulleys , shafts breaking , etc ... What the heck !
