I bought a 52" Toro w 18 Koh for 1500. I lke it works well in wet
grass. I had a 44 toro before, sold it. You need to put weight
on the front . I have 2 lead ingots that fit in the frame. about 15#. I also put a larger Koh muffler quieter and more power.
I replaced a 52 Lesco because the Lesco is a fixed deck and Toro
a hung deck. Ed
