I'm planning on buying another push mower in about a month or too. It's just for my back yards where I can't fit gravely 148. I really liked the 30 inch time master. But my dealer said they have alot of problems with them and even the Turfmaster. So if my budget is around $1800 what would yall prefer? I have toro, exmark, and snapper push mower dealers. I can buy a honda at home depot but would prefer a dealer. And I don't have a honda dealer around me.

I would get the commercial Snapper with the Honda GXV160 engine. That is a sweet setup!

Snapper Hi-Vac series with nice B&S engine (ReadyStart technology to quieter operation and increased durability.) for about $600 should be perfect for what you need it for...if you have 1/2 acre or less. No need to spent a lot to get it done right!

Is that mower better for bagging though? I forgot to mention I'll be mulching 90% of the time

About how much does that mower run?

a little over $900 from what I have seen. You can get the snappers with the ninja mulching blade and mulching attachments too if you don't want to bag.

The best push mower to buy is one that you do not have to push. I have a Honda HR 214 self-propelled. I have had it 25 years maybe a longer. I put it on choke and it starts first pull every time. I don't believe Honda makes this good of a mower anymore. You probably do need a 30 inch cut. Hopefully whatever you find you can hook up a trolley on the back of it, to step up on and ride. I have seen those on eBay.
