    Can you tell me if a Honda hydrostatic transmission mower might have far less issues than a Honda mower with a standard transmission in the long run?

    I haven't had much luck with my last 2 mowers having the regular transmission. I went through a total of 5 trannies between the last 2 mowers in a 8 years time.
