does the mower have an oil pump? you assumed me? Has she been there before? because without it, what's the point of an oil filter? give me a link to the parts store, thanks for your help.

In CA, NONE can be sold after Jan 1, 2024. But maybe--I don't know, but maybe stock still on hand can be sold, as I said, I don't know. And I mean "no gas mowers".

Arirens, wants to be like Honda, but failed. I stand by my comment i made on the video where you reviewed this mower: "Ariens people NEED to have a coffee with the Honda people." lol

The mower sucks.

My Honda mows a half acre on a quart of gas, you do need to drain and replace about 12 oz of oil once a year.

Thanks!

Not worth buying. Not build good. I have one and I've had issues with it in less than a year. Don't buy it. I had a craftsman and that one lasted me for over 18 years. No issues.

Thanks for pointing at all those Vanna.

Sometime I think you should do a review on Honda’s smallest garden tiller, powered by the 4 stroke GX25 engine. They’re really nice units and I see them last for a really long time

That's a honda quadra cut blade

I just bought an HRN216VKAA a few days ago from an equipment dealer. They installed the fix for the started before I picked it up. Traded my old Honda push mower for this one that has the benefit of self power drive, and it's great, just like my "old" one.

Not the same quality build as their iconic snowblowers. Why not replace all the plastic with steel or aluminum?

But doesn’t this have basic all plastic wheels & plastic connectors from the mowing handle to the deck? 😮

Looks pretty nice JB!

As of Jan 1, of this year (2024) no gas engine mowers may be bought in CA. I wonder if they get around that by selling what is still in stock?

What if you don't want to mulch or bag?

I love my Honda mowers better. 👍👍

This or the Honda HRX?

Your not on level ground bud

Buddy hell of review i was thinking about to buy it but yeah moving on to different one

Thanks for the video. Thought I had a grub problem(brown patches in the summer) but also pull up like this. Thought maybe fungus (cause of the yellow/brown patches) but I’m pretty sure it’s this bentgrass. I live in southern Ontario (next to Detroit). Just wondering if I started the tenacity in August and finish round 2 by September so I can start the seeding and patch work in September to have more time in the fall with getting the grass growing and ready before Winter? Think I could aerate as well while doing this just before the seeding starts? Thanks

THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO

Thanx

I got rid of my last Honda because you couldn't change the self-propel drive belt without pulling the engine. That was a mistake on my part as the red bull I replaced it with is the worst mower I've ever owned. But I do wonder, is this one a little easier to replace consumable parts on?

I could not release the front clip after yanking on it. Instead pulled the spark plug wire off the plug. With better access, easily wound the meter wire around the spare plug wire. Secured it with a zip tie and wrapped the coil in guerilla tape. Next fed the meter wire under the cover after first laying it on G tape and secured it. Then mounted meter with double stick tape, fed in the wire, and done after securing the loosened screws.

The craftsman i had for many years was excellent to clean as the metal was aluminum and NEVER rusted.

Im going to try this on my troy bult on the next oil change. Thanks for the tip.

What are those red plastic things under the deck?

Have you tried leaving the mulch selector in between settings and what the result was? What's the real life long term user review of the Honda HRN /Hrx compared to the Toro super recycler for reliability, dependability, repairs / maintenance costs and enjoyment for larger yards? I just moved into a new home on a 1/3 acre lot

Damn I'm looking for a deck with the wheels and handles attached, no string. To convert a gas to electric with my good motor from a greenworks 60v who's deck shit the bed.

7:00 The new one will most likely last more than 20 years. Plastics have improved over time. Plastic carburetors will last as long as metal ones if they are designed well. And even if some had issues, that's mostly isolated cases. Cars had plastic intake manifolds for 30 years without any problems. There are 1000s of different plastic types and some of them cost more than metal.

Did you call other shops

Your channel gives so much good information....to the point as well....no long boring speeches.

Plastic carburetor!? Get outta here!

Nice McLane edger. I used those when I was on a mowing crew. Best edger ever. I found one used a while back and snagged it to restore it.

I just got a new house on a 1/3 of an acre with a large walkout basement 🇨🇦. I'm still trying to decide what would be the best long term investment in a mower for durability, performance and reliability? I'm leaning to the two here in your review and the Toro super recycler unless there's something better to consider? What are your recommendations and why? I keep reading mixed reviews on these Honda's and the super recycler what's the truth? (I'm not that handy yet coming from condo living so reducing repairs and easy maintenance and joy of ownership are top of mind. Thanks again for it insights

I'm on the fence to purchase a zero turn 42 inch . ryobi. what do you think ?

I don't understand you have this mower with all the problems ???

I think regular ceramic coatings don't stand a chance against the violent action of grass and debris hitting the underside of the deck. Maybe a few cuts and then it's probably gone. You need ceramic coatings that are literally a thin layer of glass for better longevity. You know the kind that when applied to a painted surface never comes off and you have to use a polisher to get it off. Gyeon can coat and others come to mind.

Yo Garage Gear I bought a HRX yesterday & did the whole bottle pour in thing & when I checked the oil level after it was above the mushroom top thing on the dipstick I don’t see any writing that says full on it am I supposed to get it in between the lil xs at the bottom? Been a pain trying to slowly pump out a lil at a time.

Yep. Sounds like a lot of businesses these days. At least you got to talk to him, I guess. I'd say the guy on the phone should be embarrassed, but he doesn't care. Once again, thanks for your videos, info, and help!!

I have three of those exact mowers at work. that cable breaks every other day, and the drive gear pops off constantly. That's why it was on the curb. they're trash.

Can you put the mulch and bag half way on the hrn?

Bought this mower today because of these videos. Very excited. Hopefully can keep mine as clean as yours.

and... voilà !😊

Don't buy a Toro Timemaster. Got it.

I've added a Tecumseh snowblower gas tank to my own lawnmower too. I added manual throttle control and a tachometer so I can run it at higher RPMs with a high-lift blade.

Retreads for lawnmower wheels, never thought of that. Nice tip, well done.

All their electric mowers are on sale now cuz no one wants them!..their commercial stuff still seems to be selling but the residential stuff is in the crapper!!
