I removed the safety bar from the last walk behind 3 mowers I bought and installed toggle switches wired from the magneto to the engine block. Forward position for run and backwards to kill the engine.

I have the Honda and sing its praises every time it starts on first pull....which is every single time. I use non ethanol gas -recommend it for 4 cycle or two cycle. Features: - It has a gas cut off for winter storing to keep carburetor gum free
- Past mowers had a crappy housing for the air filter that invited clogging. These will get dirty but are just better.
- Wheel adjustments are better and less flimsy than most. Perhaps you have had ones that became soft over time and a real pain to adjust?
- Like most newer mowers it doesn't have a drain plug. Just top off the oil...rarely. I didn't like this at first but there has been no issues and oil remains clean looking.
- the mechanism you depress to engage propulsion is operated by your thumbs and is adjustable
- A GREAT mulching mower thanks t odual blade design. I never get the cut hay side rows when using it.
There is a large easy to move switch to go from mulch to bagging. You can use bagging without the bag but I won't say I recommended that. Best mower I ever bought. Wish I would have gone this route sooner.

Cheaper Greenworks batteries will also fit a Kobalt...more or less. The battery is the same. The difference is the slots on the side that match up with the slots on the mower. There's a youtube video showing how to use a Dremel to easily mill a couple new slots on the battery to make it fit.

Rock chuck hit the nail on the head. Cost is less than most, and Troybuilt do a fine job. Gave my eight year old one, to a grandson, and bought a new one this week. Half the price as many and they do a great job.
