Lawn-Boy's 2006 Walk-Power Mower Line

March 2006 -- From lightweight maneuverability to innovative, easy-to-use features, Lawn-Boy created its 2006 line of walk- power mowers (WPMs) to combine efficiency and reliability in a distinctively designed, user-friendly package.

The Insight line's five models - including the new-for-2006 10682 mower - are the result of interviewing hundreds of homeowners and videotaping them as they mowed, and using their feedback to develop innovative and versatile features like an easily adjustable handle height, a bag you can remove with just one hand, and a self-propel system that automatically senses and adjusts to your walking speed up to 5 miles per hour. Each Insight mower includes a different set of options, making it simple to choose exactly the right Lawn-Boy for your particular needs.

Lawn-Boy Insight mowers are available at retailers including The Home Depot, and feature:

~ A four-cycle Tecumseh LV 195 Easy Start Performance engine, designed for long life and easy starting;
~ An Easy-Lift bag, which can be removed and replaced with just one hand;
~ Large-radius Easy-Turn wheels with simple-to-adjust cutting height levers;
~ A 21-inch, 14-gauge steel trim edge deck with inset wheels to allow for close trimming on both sides;
~ Comfortable foam grips designed to fit your hands; and
~ Lawn-Boy's three-in-one cutting system, which lets you switch between side discharging, mulching or rear bagging without so much as a screwdriver.

The Insight mowers' deep dome deck, tri-cut blade and hi-vac bag fill combine to deliver premium cutting performance and superior bagging. All Lawn-Boy Insight mowers also include a full, two-year complete coverage warranty that covers starting, power and parts.

In addition to these standard features, models include:

~ 10682 (MSRP: $329): This new-for-2006 model, available at authorized Lawn-Boy dealers and The Home Depot, features a variable-speed (0 to 3 miles per hour) drive system, recoil starter, and easy-stow knobs for easy compact storage.
~ 10683 ($329): This recoil-start push mower features the SimpleSet Handle, which lets you adjust the handle height to quickly accommodate any size user with a single knob.
~ 10684 ($349): With its variable-speed drive system, the 10684 lets you vary the speed of the mower anywhere from 0 to 3 miles per hour by squeezing the control on the handle. This model also features the SimpleSet Handle and recoil start.
~ 10685 ($379): One of two Insight models with the Sens-a-Speed self- propel system, the 10685 senses and intuitively adjusts the mower to your walking speed, from 0 to 5 miles per hour. It also features the convenient Quick Stow Lever that folds the handle with the press of your foot, and recoil start.
~ 10686 ($439): Lawn-Boy's top-of-the-line Insight mower, the 10686 features the Sens-a-Speed system, Quick Stow Lever and electric start.
