I currently use lawn boy's, but, some of my clients like to let their lawn grow too tall in between mowings, and the thing can't even make an entire line without getting stuck. It has a briggs and stratton 675 with 6.75 torque. I have gotten the side discharge attatchment for it, but it clogs within seconds of use. I guess my question is, does anyone know if a briggs 875 professional engine with 8.75 torque would solve my problem. I know alot about cars and their capabilities, but i just can't think in that small of a number when it comes to engine torque.

Move slower while cutting and charge your clients more.

I under bid it (my bad) I spent about 10 hours spread over two days.
How long were you thinking it was going to take?
