Rear-wheel drive mowers are designed for homes with smaller lawn areas. They are the best-selling type of lawn mower in the world. You have the option of purchasing a push mower or if you want more control and steering ability then you should consider purchasing a self propelled garden mower.
There are many popular brands on the market. To name a few, you have John Deere, Toro, Husqvarna, and Troy Bilt as well. TB offers six models in the walk behind range. All of them are competitively priced and a good warranty is also offered.
TB210
Built with a 190cc engine in conjunction with the Briggs and Stratton Starter Promise, many people have found this model very reliable and easy to use. Featuring a single speed motor, 21 “mower deck, and TriAction mowing system technology, this front wheel self propelled mower is probably Troy Bilt’s most popular model.
TB230
It has similar characteristics to the TB 210 in terms of engine power and powertrain. However, this model has a variable speed motor that is easily changed with a tight grip. Some users find the model easy and comfortable to use. In fact, Troy Bilt has included a 6-position dual-lever deck height adjuster and a 3-position height adjuster for the handle. There have been rave reviews on this model.
TB250
If you are looking for known Japanese reliability, you should consider the TB 250 3-in-1 Variable Speed Front Wheel Drive Mower. Built with a powerful 160cc Honda engine, it has all the features that Troy Bilt has to offer in the other models. Something that is different on this model compared to the first two is the starting system, which is the Automatic Return Choke System (ARCS).
TB270 IS
If you want to be able to start your mower with a turn of the key and nothing fancy, the TB 270 ES is a good choice. The electric start is a great feature that many users enjoy. Expect the same other features in the engine, transmission system, and amenities compared to the other self-propelled models.
TB325 XP
This model has a 3-in-1 capacity: side discharge, mulching and rear bag. It comes with a powerful 160cc Honda engine and a 4-speed continuously variable speed drive system. Other notable features include a 21 “steel padded deck and a 3-year warranty for your peace of mind. There is a mixed review on this model, but overall, a TB210 or TB230 are cheaper models to consider.
TB340 XP
The latest self-propelled lawn mower in the walk-behind range is the TB340 XP. Built with a 175cc Briggs and Stratton engine and 4-speed continuously variable speed transmission, this self-propelled rear-wheel mower will get you through half an acre of grass in less than an hour. This Troy Bilt model has received many negative reviews from customers. Durability and ease of starting issues are the two main reasons.
