I still haven’t sold that Turfmaster. I’ve had some nibbles and burnt up time dragging it out and showing it but never sunk the hook. A week ago someone contacted me talking about trading it for the Ybravo and I’ve been nulling over it.
I don’t bag a lot in the fall but I do for about a month. The Turfmasters great for bagging but it’s cumbersome and has a homeowner sized bag. The Ybravo is reckoned to be a monster bagging unit and looks to have possibly double the collection capacity, while looking way more maneuverable.
The Hrx217 has been my go to bagging mower, especially for utility work like cleaning up bushes and various debris. It has poor suction and I can’t find any blades with decent lift so I’m left making two passes on leaves and debris. I know it’s not a toro sr4 but might the Ybravo be a good leaf mulching tool? The Sw15 is a super duper leaf mulcher but I don’t like loading down the belts and pullies with thick leaves.
What about having a Ybravo 25” with kohler cv224cc? I think I could negotiate the trade with the terms being that I put the kawi fj180 back on the Turfmaster. I’m really getting tempted to go for it and try an actual bagging mower for a season. Just the thought of swapping on a much more powerful engine gets me all Tim Taylor over here 💪🏼💪🏼
