Lots of folks were disappointed Honda is discontinuing their residential mowers. I needed a new mower this spring and couldn't even find another brand with a Honda engine.

FF a few months, and I heard Stihl was about to start importing their walk behinds. They have been selling these in Europe for decades. They look weird, but it's a proven design. Aluminum deck, aluminum wheels with rubber tread, kohler engine, and single lever deck adjustment. The grass catcher is a hard sided "box". It's vented on the sides only, so supposedly you won't eat dust the entire time you bag leaves/grass.

I'll post more of a review later this summer, but I'm happy to retire my Honda.

The top end 756 model is worth looking at, Kohler commercial-grade engine with pressurized lubrication.

I don’t expect my Honda mower to ever die

I had my Honda for about 8 years. Was very happy with it but it started leaking oil last summer and Ascension Equipment said it would cost more to fix than to purchase a new one. It was to the point where I had to add to or change the oil for each cut. Around the same time, Honda quit selling...bummed me out.

I looked around for a while and decided to upgrade to Scag's 21" walk-behind. Probably over-bought, but I've used it 4 times so far and it's an absolute beast. Smooth as butter Kohler engine, and it absolutely pulverizes the grass clippings.
