The SR4 has had some minor changes over the years. They added a washout port in 2007. In 2008 they introduced the quick fold handle and it became a 1-piece design. They also changed to a taller bag design that can be interchanged with more recent steel-deck Recyclers. The plastic transmission seems to have been introduced around 2009, perhaps mid-model year. The changed the caps on the height adjusters in 2011 and the drag shield in 2013. Sadly, 2015 is the first year that these mowers are built in Mexico.
In my personal opinion, the SR4 leaves a better looking result than the earlier models which were already great. The SR4 engine choices leave something to be desired but they're still my favorite. Skip the "Toro" Chinese engine though.
