LAWNBOY GOLD SERIES MODEL 10550

I have been working as a landscaper since I was fourteen years old. I work for somebody in my town with a landscaping business. The whole business is done using a pickup truck, four lawnmowers, and a few workers.

We cut 162 lawns a week every week and since we only use small lawnboys, we work fast. Since I have been a landscaper for some period of time now, I consider myself experienced with a few different models of lawnboys. This lawnmower is not too heavy so we always carry the lawnmower on and off the truck without too much trouble.

If your not really paying attention while mowing and bang into something or come down off the curb and slam the mower on the street, the height adjusters start to loosen. If they become progressively looser you will find that you could be mowing a lawn and all of a sudden a wheel slips from 6 to 1 and now your scalping your customers lawn.

Another thing that could happen from heavy usage of the lawnmower is the rip cord will break and you have to go to the mower shop and replace it You also have to pay attention to how your going to approach mowing the lawn when you mow with this mower because the bag hangs off the side of the mower. You have to be conscious as to not mow with the bag out and hit into things. Overall I would recommend this mower because it is simple to use.



Pros
- Easy, simple to use
- Two cycle engine

Cons
- Height adjusters may break easily
- Bag on the side
