I owned a 72 "Taylor finish mower for over 3 years. I can highly recommend this brand. It mowed grass smoothly and evenly, and had zero mechanical issues. I only sold the unit as part of a package deal. Be advised, do not use these finish mowers as light duty brush hogs. They are for grass mowing only, and work best when the grass is kept under 8 inches high before cutting. Taylor makes mowers for several other brands.
