Wow, I definitely agree. The main workhorses for my son's lawnmowing
business are two lawnboy mowers. He purchased one used Lawnboy
10 years ago and it is still a very reliable mower. The other is 6 years
old, but functionally it is really about 40-50 years old when you factor
in the number of times that it is used each week in its "commercial"
mode.

On average, we'll spend about $100 total per year on parts for those
2 Lawnboys, which is comparable to the average homeowner spending
about $8 or so on his mower each year. Not bad. If the damned
wheels/tires didn't wear out so fast, we'd be even better off.

Because I've been tempted to buy some of the new Honda 4 cylcle
engine-powers garden equipment, and until recently the really small
engines have always been 2 cycle. Or at least I think they have.

Two stroke engines are lighter for the same power output. They are also
usually noisier, shorter lived, use more fuel, and pollute more.

Choose the best compromise for the job.

Except for Old LAwnboys

They last forever.

They are magical..
