I have the Toro GTS with the B&S OHV engine. It is a mulcher, with aluminum deck. It has the personal pace or whatever....which freaking rocks. It just self adjusts to what ever speed you walk.

I have had the mower over 5 years, only changed oil twice (lazy *******) and the thing never burns oil, has tons of power, the self adjusting speed is amazing. Best part? GTS (guaranteed to start) work really well. This spring after 4 months of hibernation with NO fuel stabilizer...it started FIRST PULL.

So consumer reports is not full of **** with this. The top Toros seriously kick ass, and the top B&S engines are IMO every bit as good as a Honda engine. B&S makes different levels of engine, some are crap that wear out you find on cheap mowers, but the best GTS OHV engines are pretty damn good.

That GTS is very nice. BUT, they ALL have the Guaranteed To Start Briggs and Stratton engine. It doesn't matter if you have Toro, Lawn Boy, John Deere, Troy Bilt or Huskvarna. They're all the exact same engine. (actually the Troy Bilt and Huskavarna have an upgraded engine compared to the others but still B&S and still GTS)

I do like the Toro self proplelled setup. It is EXACTLY the same as the Lawn Boy. The John Deere is very similiar but slightly different. The Troy Bilt and Huskavarna self propelled controles don't seem quiet as cool as the other three but you get a stronger Briggs and Stratton engine with the same guaranteed to start thing that the other three B&S engines have.
