Are there any known reasons why I should not buy a new Simplicity SP RWD Mower SPVH21700 Briggs 7 TP (21"), with the 700 Series Briggs engine? I know they are now discontinued, but other than that, are there any issues that would possibly prevent this mower from lasting several years with normal maintenance?
The Simplicity line is part of Briggs and Stratton, together with Snapper, Snapper Pro, Murray and Brute. I would think there would be good support for it even though it is a discontinued model.
Appreciate the feedback, gentlemen! I had read a few negative things about the Briggs 700 Series, and just wondered if there was a real issue with that engine or not. My current MTD/Briggs has seen well over 15 years of use, and is in need of a rebuild for motor and deck. I will miss having the throttle on a new mower, but it is time to move on.
