It's got good power, I mowed the lawn of our house yesterday, the grass was up to my knee in the back corner (just moved in), and it had no trouble for the most part at half throttle, except for the longest sections, where I had to push it up a bit.
I might take a video of it later at full tilt and see what you guys think!
Just about all of the mowers I have had in the past have been 4 stroke, usually a brigs & Stratton motor, so you could be right about the sound of the PT at full song.
For a mower that I have only spent $40 on, it runs and starts better than any other I have had! First pull starts, every time, hot / cold, doesnt matter! I'm hooked!
