The Toro will run longer Demon. Ive seen waay to many Troybilts when I was in the pawn game and they break to easily. Especially the lower line they have at Lowes.

each name has a link attached to it, I'm looking at the low/mid end models. I like the troy, but the price and power are better with toro.
the other thing I was looking at was the speed variable. ie. how fast the mower moves is controlled better with one better than the other. but reliability is good to know on Toro. I like the look of the troy, but I guess I'll run with the Toro. (it's also $10 cheaper lol)

That toro looks to be the same one we have but we have a older model. I would say the only issue we had was the self-propelled system to a shit on us. Other than that it runs awsome
