Years ago when my son was still in high school (he's 30-something now), I got hold of an old Snapper Hi-Vac chassis that was missing the engine. I went out and bought the cheapest Honda powered side bagger I could get. Told my son, if you want to be an engineer, show me you can adapt this engine to that chassis.
I've been mowing my lawn with it ever since then. Don't need a leaf blower as this mower vac's up all the clippings/leaves etc. I hardly ever have to sweep up afterwards either.
Most of the gardeners around here use the pro model Honda's. They kick butt, but, they don't vacuum up the way my Snapper does. I priced a new Snapper optioned with the engine I've got on mine and it would have been $1200, four or five years ago.
