re: New push mower... Honda or not

Saint Augustine in South Florida requires weekly mowing about 9-10 months of the year and bi-weekly the other 2-3. I had a Craftsman w/ 7 HP Briggs & Stratton. Got rid of it after 10 years of deterioration but the engine never caused a problem and was still working great. Bought another one (6.75 HP B&S) and haven't had a problem with that one either for 6 years other than a snapped pull cord that was simple to fix.
