I have the AWD Husqvarna. It’s at least ten years and still going strong. As long as you do the maintenance which pretty basic stuff, once maybe twice a year I check and grease the pulleys and engagement/release mechanism, inspect the transfer case and of course do the oil changes, filter and spark plug, it will run and run. Has always started on the first pull, even that first pull of the season, starts in the first pull. I bought it because I have a large yard that is on a hill. You entire yard has a grade, it just pulls through anything. About the mulching, get a Gator blade, that fixing the mulching problem, it will chop the grass clippings into small pieces and does a good job of scattering the clippings. As long as your not trying to cut excessively long grass in the first place.

Watched my neighbor for years mowing his yard with a steep hill using his FWD Craftsmen. Saw the wheels always spinning and him pushing the mower like it was not self-propelled. I recommended an AWD or RWD mower to him, but since he was a know-at-all, when the mower finally gave out, he bought another FWD Craftsmen. I would send him a link to your test, but since he always doubts anything I say, I'll just let him labor on. Great test.

I really like systems like Toro's Personal Pace, as it varies the drive as a function of how hard you push on the handle. So it's trivially easy to change speed in reaction to a bogging engine. The problem with mine is the problem with any 2wd system... one of the tires is worn out, and unlike your Honda, my slick tire has very poor traction. And since the transmission is "open diff", the slick tire determines the max traction. It performed very well when the tires had good tread. I prefer rwd over fwd because the main reason to have self propelled, IMO, is hills, and rwd is way better for hills than fwd. AWD is probably best, but like you said, it's the most complex. Thanks for this video. You went to a lot of effort to get this data.

One thing I'd like to add. As a tall person with a long stride, speed of self-propelled matters. Since most mowers have a governor, the engine speed is set, so it comes down to the ability to adjust the speed with the controls. My Honda RWD has Smart Drive "paddles" which allow you to control the speed, with the top speed being fast enough for my long strides. I've replaced the rear wheels twice once they went bald. That's my only complaint with Honda - make tires that don't wear out as fast. Also, for better traction, leave the bagger on the mower whether you bag or not. It adds weight exactly where you need it.

I figured the awd would be number 1 but the rwd with racing slicks put up good traction numbers but being slicks on it not good in wet conditions, fwd mowers have little weight over the drive wheels and anything that bounces them up off the ground it looses traction as well as wheel condition adding to less or more traction I'm not 100% sold on wheel tread making a very big difference I do think the down force on the wheels makes a lot of difference in traction aka weight over wheel the more weight pressing down the more traction so rwd mowers are better because the rear wheels stay on the ground and have more weight over them

About what I expected. The Honda came out basically on top with the Husqvarna AWD being similar. I say again that AWD is a gimmick for walk behind and some riding mowers (I say some because if people invest $10-30,000 in a front mount tractor mower or a tractor with a mid-mount mower, they can be used as other things besides mowing so there's a 4WD or AWD option available). My Honda HRC216HX has really good traction unless I mow a yard that was a swamp and is incredibly wet where the wheels dig in, I guess an AWD unit may prevail here but I don't think it's totally necessary. The Honda HRC also has HST drive so all I have to do is feather the control bar to start the wheels slowly without skid marks and tearing of turf.

I like the Honda mowers but the set speed rates and in/out drive start and stop has to be rough on the drive system to a point.

To follow up to my comment. With front wheel, if you need to slow down, you just slow down. The tires might slip a bit but you are still cutting the lawn evenly. With rear wheel if you slow down the mower will pop a wheelie and then you are no longer cutting evenly. One place I mow has a rear wheel and it drives me nuts!

you are correct, the Traction of the RWD can be very difficult to mow with. so we pick and choose our own poison.

If pounds makes more sense, multiple kilograms by 2.2.
