Default Mower Engines And Brands ?

Hi,

Will probably go for a new Mower.
21' or 22". and self propelled.

Questions, please:

a. Any consensus re Briggs & Stratton vs. Tecumseh in the size
ranges for the mowers I'd be interested in ?

Or, both pretty much the same in quality ?

b. I see Honda Motors on Hsquva brand mowers.
Quite pricey.

Any thoughts on these, motor and/or Mower by Hsquva ? Worth the premium ?

c. Our Ace Hardware has Craftsman with the B&S engine.
Can't imagine who makes Craftsman anymore.
Do they still exist as a real company, or just someone using their name ?

Any thoughts on their mowers ?

Thanks,
Bob


I've been happy with my Honda. Going strong after 10 years and just
talked to a guy this am and he has the same Honda and is happy with it.

I think it was Murray that made Craftsman.

If I had a small lawn, say less than 1/4 acre, I would consider a
battery operated electric. The one suggested has 2 batteries which is
good but I see nothing up front about run time and have seen an ad for
one that runs up to an hour. I'd also want self propelled.
