We've always used honda push mowers. The self propelled on them only last about one season and the engine maybe lasts 2 season. Which kind of push mowers do yall like or use the most?

Depends on how you're using them, Commercial or Residential?

We have a few commerical but mostly residental. We've used hondas sence we started 4-5 years ago. They usually last one full season and maybe a few months into the second season. The one now the self propelled dont work any and when you shut it off it makes a loud grinding noise.

I am going to say maybe don't buy the same mower every time if they don't last.
Spent more money and get a better mower.

But thinking your problem is you do not take care of your mowers. Things like changing oil, air filter, no grease in the drive. Taking the cover off and cleaning the cooling fins.
Or maybe honda mowers just are not as good as every one thinks.

That's the mower

If your doing or mowing as a business you'll need something more than that or those Honda's if you want to make any time. Are you using any type of large rider, ZTR, Walk Behind etc. I'm using a Toro Turf-master 30" for my self Propelled unit, that or the Exmark 30" will cut your mowing time considerable, like maybe a third. If you don't want to spend that much money you may want to consider the Toro Time Master 30" Something in the 21" Self propelled would be the Toro 21" heavy Duty with the Kwasaki FJ 180V KAI engine it's a real good unit.

Snapper friction drive one of the best setups in a self propelled.

Push mower means we're talking about 21s and 22s? I liked that Snapper Ninja I had with the Kawi engine but couldn't afford to keep it. It would have been a backup for the exmark anyway. The exmark is better... my opinion. I can't imagine there is going to be a unanimous opinion on the "best" mower.
