Thanks for the info, I will definitely take a look. Just want a quality mower that will last and I have looked into the eXmark 30 inch and keep reading reviews that the quality of cut is horrible and it somehow leaves some grass uncut. Comparing any of these 30 mowers to a 21 inch Honda leaves me to wonder why no other manufacturer can produce a mower close to that standard? I have an 1/2 lot and if I cannot find a reasonably good 30 inch mower, I will suck up the extra time in cutting the lawn with a 21 inch Honda. I would love to have a 36 inch EXmark or Gravley commercial mower but having trouble with a $3200 price tag!
Thanks for the info on the Toro and I will start looking at them
