Thanks to all buying Honda mowers- we make all of their grass bags. But agree- buy the alloy deck pro model- they last for ever.Greensboro, NC

Had this Bad Boy zero turn for three weeks now. I mow a lot. I need to post on the forum
more. I've mowed with a JD lawn tractor for 30 years and just last month test drove a zero turn. It was a life changing experience for me.Stuart

Oh hell yes. Man, did my 4-5 hour marathon mows piss my old man off. He wanted stripes, so I did circles starting at the oak tree in the middle of the yard. Teenagers really are the worst.The Cen-Tex Smoker said: -

as tall as that looks, for all of us who play golf from the rough, the stripes would give a sense to what it means to play from the short grass........lol....ryantt said:Can't wait to see your stripes, I'm a nut when it comes to my grass.

Might want to consider this....gives you more egging time...Focker said:
Sorry to hear. My 15 yr old Toro Super Recycler B & S starts every pull. Haven't even changed the plug yet. 91 oct from Shell, Toro Oil gets changed, air filter shaken out, and blade sharpened by my guy annually.epcotisbest said:I've got this Honda. I will never buy another Murray Briggs and Stratton again. Actually, I will probably never buy another push mower again, as this one seems bulletproof. Cranks first pull, every pull, run smooth and quiet. Sharpen blade, change oil and air filter and spark plug and it is good for the season. Also I only use non-ethanol gas. Not a zero turn, but lawn is not big enough to justify one of those. Still would like to borrow the Dixie Chopper sometime.
Was using my Dad's Toro snowblower serial number from 1974, up until a few years ago, bought a 2 cycle Power Clear last yr they made 2 cycles. Gave the 74 to my cousin, he's still using it.
Honda is a solid choice.

Most of the commercial guys around here use Scag or ExMark... I went with a 61" Scag simply because of the shaft drive (not belt) to the blade transmission. I mow about 5 acres and fence rows on the rest of "Rancho Loco" and the Scag makes easy work of it all. 8 years of great service so far!!

I have a commercial self propelled Honda. The HRC216Jeremiah said:
Honda pusher here too. It's one of my favorite purchases behind my eggs. BUT--get the commercial mower. Not the big box store version. I got the lesser for use my moms house, big mistake; and big difference.DoubleEgger said:Nice mower! I'm headed the other way. I'm retiring the rider after 17yrs of solid service. I can push mow the grass at the new place in less than 10 mins. I'll end up buying a Honda.
It is now 23 years old and still going strong. I think I paid around $1100 for it.
The price breaks down to about $48 per year to own.
I have spent no money on it other than gas/oil and a blades when they wear out.

I went looking today. I'm torn between the HRC216 and the HRX217 with the electric start. I hear the 217 is a better mulcher and I'd prefer to mulch over bag since I don't have yard waste service at the new crib. The price isn't an issue rather finding the right mower since I'll have to live with this mower for 20+ years.GregW said:

Looked at the exmark with the Honda as well. Not overly impressed.
