    What is or Was The Most Day in Day Out Reliable Engine Ever Made?

    I think the B&S line has improved, along with most other engines, over the years. The mid to late 90's models were not very reliable in my opinion, but the models within the last few years have been consistent with the rest of the field. Reality is, if you don't produce a quality product...

    ARPlante's Adventures

    i have a dumb question...i have never operated one of these machines before but they fascinate me. As the machine operates, obviously you would have to keep the front attachment out of the dirt? As close as you could to the ground without damaging the teeth? like a flail mower?
