Wheel Horse B115 Lawn Tractor With Briggs And Stratton 399cc Engine

I have a wheel horse, 11hp 5 speed red riding lawnmower model number B115-1/1 with back bagging attachment. I am from Cincinnati Ohio, in the white oak area. I use this lawnmower at least 3 times a week. It is used to mow my lawn, the lawns of the 2 apartment buildings that I own, my mother’s lawn, and my mother in laws lawn.

I find this mover to be very good quality for the many mowing needs that I have. It has never not worked, although I have had to replace the battery once. It is used on many different surfaces. My lawn has a large, low grade hill in the front and a medium, steep hill in the back. The apartments as well as both mothers’ lawns are flat. It works perfectly every time without fail.

The only complaint that I have is that the bagging chute clogs quite often, and the bags are not very big. Usually I take the chute and bags off when cutting the larger lawns, and don’t worry about it. For the smaller ones I leave it on so the cut grass won’t lay and kill underneath. It picks up and bags great. I still have to unclog the chute once or twice, but when emptying the bags anyway (as they will only hold about a quarter of a very small yard) this is not a big deal.

I bought the mower used from a neighbor for about $200, as it is a slightly older mower. He had no problem with it, the only reason it was being sold was he had upgraded to a speed mower for his lawn care business. I very much enjoy using this mower and would buy another if this one ever stopped working. I would definitely recommend it to others that have the same basic needs.
