1. Well, currently a 6.5 HP. That's the only type I've ever owned.
I'm on my 4th one since 1976 when I bought my first one, a 3.0 HP. Since then I've had a 3.5 HP, a 4.0 HP, and now a 6.5 HP. This one's got the large rear wheels and front-wheel drive.

2. I'd say an upright mower.
Nothing special or fancy (not like those riding mowers), but gets the job done.

14. Nothing wrong with that
If it's a husqy I bet it's a hell of a great machine. I'm on my 6th season with this one and have only had to change the oil, clean the air filter and replace the blades since i bought it. It's still got it's original battery. Great machines they are. :)

20. good to know, thank you
I've only had it two summers. At first I missed my old heel-and-toe Greenfield, it was weird getting used to having gears. You'd have laughed if you'd seen me the first day I used it, going round in slow, cautious circles in first gear, clutching the manual to my breast. But I'm warming to it, it's got lots of grunt and it handles well.

18. Not for sure.
But, I think that this may be the complete machine.
