BEST PUSH MOWER?

[Stowe Boy]

HRX is high end consumer. knock on wood, but my HRXs have been without issue on the self propel. I put about 350 hours on per year.

Commercial is HRC, I believe.

I really like my HRX217, but I see you can get a push-type in the HRR, $349 HRS (side), and HRC (rear bag) lines.

This year, for the first time in my life, I've hired a lawn mowing service since the doctor and physical therapist tell me to not do the mowing for 6 months after my shoulder replacement. And the company I've hired has some fantastic employees. These guys are walking at a high rate of speed with Honda push, not self-propelled, mowers, in mulching mode.

Personally, if I do the mowing, I only want self-propelled mowers.:laughing:

Maybe I'll just go with the lawn mowing service idea...Good luck with your rehab..

Reminds me of the old saying. "I love work, I can sit and watch it forever".

Just to add my 2 cents here-- I was told by more than one source and also have learned that the Honda push mowers cannot be beat. What surprised me more than anything else was if you don't purchase the Honda Mowers from an authorized dealer but instead purchase from a retailer such as Home Depot or anywhere other than an authorized dealer, you are not getting the actual Honda engine. The Honda engine you are getting is made by Honda BUT to the specs that Home Depot or any other retailer has requested. I was also told that the authorized Honda Dealer won't service the other Honda engines that were purchased from anyone else except the Honda Dealer.

Rubbish! I wonder why you don't say who actually 'told' you this rumour. :scratchchin: And do you think Honda are not so busy that they have time and capacity to make engines to spec's designated by various Box Store organisations all over the world? I can assure you that Honda-engined products are sold in European countries, UK, Australasia, South America, Canada etc... as well as USA. Any Honda dealer unwilling to service these products is missing out on pure profit.

The Honda engine is made by Honda but it's not an actual 'Honda'??? Bizarre! :confused2:

Not sure if the engines are the same, but in my neighborhood the off brand mowers with Honda engines seem to have many engine problems
