They make amazing stuff and it's a great price. Forget the electric crap.

I have a similar one that I bought off Craigslist, brand new in box from a former dealer. The Husqvarna is AWD, and a good machine at $350 for a $550 list mower. The larger 190cc Honda engine was worth it for my rough duty GJ yard where I mow 3 acres of wild grass, shrubs, rocks, and sprinkler heads. The 190cc engine is a beast compared to the smaller machines. I don't have a lawn, more wild land grasses, flowers and shrubs, and the dusty conditions really take a toll on the mower engines. Mower filters are low end crap. You'll see that I use a fine nylon filter net around the filter assembly to reduce dust and particulates. It helps some but gimme an oil bath or water bath filter, please.






I once got a used Honda mower off CL for $65 that lasted 6 years, then got two cheaper Honda mowers from Sam's that barely lasted 2 years each. I won't buy a cheap mower again, they're just not built for longevity.
