You definitely made a great choice going with this mower. It’s a beast, and does very well.

@@KirbyVacuumCollectorFixer remember the cord of honda mower is soft if you pull with too much strength the starter rope there’s the risk that the engine can give the kickback

Yes We have the honda hrx 217hya For $729 the echo srm 225 for $199.

Man let me Easz your mind you won’t regret it I put mines threw the ringer when I got it it had a carb issue but my dealer fixed it I wasn’t worried because as you know things happen because I pulled it out the box myself so just a small set back but this to me is commercial enough I mean dam anything over 5 inches it’s time to pull out the walk behind or zero but I’m on my 2nd year and starts every time light weight dose everything except side discharge but it comes out the bottoms in the rear! You will never buy a commercial one again because this will last just as long as the commercial one under half the price and I use it everyday because I’m in the city so majority of the yards are push mow so I used it on dam there all my yards don’t even use my zero it has 40 hours on it and it’s been 3 years since I had it I just been using the Honda and just bought a toro 30 to save a little time on my manicured lawns!

@DawnJiang-kd6me I have the HZA model and honestly it’s just a preference. If you’re a older person that needs the electric start it’s a great feature but with the roto stop you don’t need to keep having to start the mower over so having the roto stop I feel is enough. Also I prefer the HYA/HZA for the hydro transmission it’s definitely the best by far

You won’t regret getting one!

@@KirbyVacuumCollectorFixer I know I wouldn’t, I’ve been eyeing it up for a few years now! But I don’t know if I can justify a third mower lol but I would have to find room for it

@@parkerk7018 Well, my suggestion would be to sell one you don’t need as bad. Pay that money forward to the purchase of a brand new HRX. Just a thought.

@@KirbyVacuumCollectorFixer that’s very true, or whatever mower gives out first. I mean my neighbour has three mowers for no apparent reason, but there isn’t anything wrong with having more than one mower

@@KirbyVacuumCollectorFixer I might do a few lawns this summer and save up for a new HRX

Mine I bought the hrx 217 hya before covid 19. We took a trip to homedepot in may of 2020 and the price was $739

Thank you very much. Well, the VYA is the same as the HYA, but it has the lower end Select Drive and throttle. Versus the HYA’s higher end, tried and true design with the Cruise Control setup, the robust metal bars, and throttle. It’s a great machine and does well on different terrain.

@@KirbyVacuumCollectorFixer The hya is 40 Bucks more than the vya

89 Octane. Non ethanol would be ideal, but the 89 works fine.

I recommend non ethanol gas. Stihl edger, but echo and husqvarna is good also

alvaro f The weird thing is since the virus, Home Depot and Lowe’s took down all the more expensive walk behind mowers from display, but still sell them. I wonder why?? Home Depot has been selling Honda mowers for years, and Lowe’s just started selling Hondas earlier this year. A whole new place to get them at. If you go to the Home Depot or Lowe’s apps, you can order one from either of those.

I wish I could find the mower. Everywhere is sold out because Honda decided to close their factories for a month or two. #readyfor2020tobeover

@@nickc2124 I looked for several weeks for the HRX 217 HYA, to no avail, then I checked the Home depot sight and they had 16. so with the military discount I got it for 767 included tax. they said there would be no military exemption, however I pointed out that since I needed to go to Home Depot to pick it up then that should be considered In Store purchase, the nice lady agreed.

These are Carburetor Engines.

That is correct. I really don’t find myself needing it, except for when I’m going uphill or up slopes.

@@KirbyVacuumCollectorFixer Ok.. Thanks for letting me know. So it looks like it is pretty easy to push too.. That looks like a good way to do it.. Good to know that the self propel is there if you need it (like for hills)..

Robert Rusie Awesome! Great purchase! I have mine set on the third or highest position as I’m a tall guy. It depends on your height and how you like to hold the mower. Let me know how it works for you.

@@KirbyVacuumCollectorFixer thanks man. Sorry I actually meant the blade height setting on the mower deck.

Robert Rusie Ah I see. I usually start off the season topping off the dormant grass. Then once it starts growing fully, I usually cut at 3 inches.

@@KirbyVacuumCollectorFixer cool thanks, great review btw.

Robert Rusie Thank you very much!

And I did not like the clicking noise and resistance when I pulled the HRX backwards. That really annoyed me.

That plastic deck is too light. Your mower bounces around too much. You should have purchased the steel deck type.

I have an HRX. Ive had it a year. I like it better each time I use it. You mow way too fast. The mower is heavy and very solid. I have alot of trees and you need to get into a rythem.

@@danseydlitz3218 @ JP Hatfield I have found that the HRX is a great mower and I don’t see myself getting a new one for years.

@@danseydlitz3218 Oh and sometimes I can’t help the fast mowing. I take big steps and it’s really easy to go faster than normal. Plus I like to get the mowing done in a timely manner.

Great purchase! You won’t regret it.

@@KirbyVacuumCollectorFixer used it today best lawn mower in the world

@@Jerry-me1fy Couldn’t agree more!

Indeed, broke my new one in today. Outstanding!! My 2nd lawn has a little bit of uphill turns, did it with ease. Very happy with it

I payed around $729 the gcv 190 at homedepot.

Absolutely worth every penny.

Hah yeah

😂😂😂

Tony Montana Yeah I understand. It depends on the property you’re dealing with. Certain mowers are good for certain applications.
