What motor did you go with? Just wondering, since I saw that Honda was an option.

Yes and my wife loves it.......

Honda's were backordered, So I went with the 3.5 Briggs on the 20 inch mower.

No, but I have a new simplicity mower with an adjustable roller behind the deck that gives you the mlb baseball stadium stripes
Looks great, I'm sure yours will too

They work great and are great for your lawn if they are used correctly. Not sure what you know about them/lawn but just a couple of tips I would give anyone. 1) cut at least twice a week 2) do not remove clippings unless you have missed cuts and its gotten high(clippings act as fertilizer and easily break down when small) 3) Paper test: Sharp reels are essential to healthy grass, put a piece of paper between the reel and grinding piece (not sure of name of this piece) and it should cut like hot knife and butter. Being new you wont have this to worry about until later. Great mower you have there!!!

Don't cut too low.......a common mistake many make in thinking they can increase the time that the lawn looks nicely cut. Not true, lawn looks shabby due to eneven growth, high or low cut. Scalding takes it toll over the months. GL with it

*And avoid the temptation to overfertilize...........it does more damage than good to both lawn & environment.........especially if you are near water or wells.

Any info on where you can buy these roller for behind the mower, I love the stripes and want to do it. Have to do mine better than my neighbor

By any chance, is your neighbor from Russia?

bsu...I'm not sure if you can buy something aftermarket??
On the simplicity riders it is standard from the factory....it's a small row of rollers between the rear of the deck and the rear tires. Here is the website : http://www.simplicitymfg.com/

I would highly recommend these lawn tractors, they are very well built and worth the extra $$
