which lawn mower to buy??

Don't be swayed by the references to golf courses. The machines they buy are only sold to golf courses and you will never see one on the market. Learned that when I worked on a greenskeeping crew for Berry Hills Country Club. The closest thing to what they have, available on the market, is a Dixie Chopper. FWIW most of the machines Berry Hills had were Toros with Honda engines. I personally use a Lawn Boy that my dad bought in 1979, but that's all I need.
