Brute 22" 3/n/1 Fwd (50 State)

I bought the mower for the bagger feature but the mulcher works so well, even in tall, damp grass, that I stopped using the bagger. I would recommend this mower.

I only had this lawn mower about 35 days and the spring for the self propeller broke. Before that the yellow part of the wheels kept coming off. Other than that, it ran, it worked...with elbow grease.

so far iv not had a problem with the wheels that every one is reviewing bad.and i love the part where you dont have to choke just start her up and goooo!!!!!!!!!

So, first let me explain why I gave it an "Excellent Value" rating and nothing more. It's a 3 in 1 mower with a big, torque-y motor. It actually IS an excellent value. However, the build quality and self propelled power is well below poor. If there is a class lower than poor, that's what the rear wheels should be classified as. Please see pics and video that I took. If you are cutting on any type of a hill, while going side to side on said hill, the rear wheels will break, plain and simple. I would NOT recommend this mower for use on anything but a flat yard with no holes, no hills, and no turns. You heard right. Even when making a turn at the end of a pass, and you put the weight on the rear wheels, you can see them struggle. It's amazing how this even passed through quality control. I bought this and there were only a few reviews at the time, figured I'd try it. Bad mistake. Looking now, it seems most of the reviews are the same. Broke the rear wheel. Mind you, this happened during the middle of it's second use. Each use is only 20 mins worth of cutting. What a disaster. I will be returning and going to either Lowes, Sears, or another large chain lawn center. In this case, you really do get what you pay for.

The Briggs & Stratton engine is fine... no problem and plenty of power. It's the plastic wheels that are the weak link. I should have checked reviews before buying this. Two days after the 90-day return policy was up, the rear left wheel came off while mowing. I could not put it back on as it was damaged. I had used the mower about six times. I turned it in to a repair shop for warranty repairs and it was three weeks before they could get to it. Six weeks after I brought it in, I am still waiting for the wheel, which is on backorder. My shoulders ache from bursitis, and tendonitis, brought on by mowing my entire lawn with a grass trimmer, one section at a time. By the time I get to the last section, it's time to start over. Never again!
