THanks for such quick response, I was talking to a few dealers this
AM. I spoke with one dealer who is a Honda and Toro dealer, he steered
me away from the Toro, reason I don't know but he did say in the last
2-3 yrs Toro's quality has been going downhill, he is a service center
for Home Depot & Lowe's and does their repairs, can this be a factor in
my selection on Toro mowers, Honda mowers are 30-40% more money.

I am looking for a rear bag lawnmower for my brother who is a handicap,
he can walk behind the mower, was looking for an electric start, but
trashed the idea when I told him the weight, so now I am shopping for a
self propelled with controlled speed and a rear discharge in a
leightweight, but mainly one that is the easiest to pull to start. he
can only use one arm to start, he has had a few that he has problems
such as the rope start on the handle bars or one that the mower moves
all over when trying to start it, pull start must be on the engine and
VERY easy to pull any suggestions

thank you
