Troy-Bilt 30-Inch Premium Neighborhood Riding Lawn Mower
This little rear engine 30” riding mower is one of the best sellers in the country and one of the only rear engine mowers. The little 420cc Powermore has a cast iron cylinder sleeve, pressure oiler and a screw on automotive type oil filter. You get around 15 HP on this solid little engine. It fortunately has a forged steel crankshaft making it stronger and more durable than cast iron. It has an adjustable seat even for tall people. When it comes to cutting this mower performs well above its price point. One added benefit many would overlook is that this little mower can fit through small spaces.
