Are Honda HRX mowers all they are cracked up to be?

Honda cost a fair amount and usually for a reason. I would apply 'you get what you pay for ' in the circumstances. Look after it, wash the deck out, do not store fuel in it a d it maybecome a heirloom! List it in your will...

I got a mate who is a rep for Etesia, they have always impressed me too. Once saw an old rep put a brick end on the floor and smash it to dust. Deck survived with a few scars but it still cut. Think they were Kawasaki engines and the crank survived too! Council buy them by the dozen which is a marker on quality and strength too.

kaaz mowers are heavy but good 

 

blade that comes on them can break as its vented on ends but stick a high lift solid one on and they are better

 

treat engine to oil every 50 hrs and last forever

 

can loose drive to a wheel but theres a wee pin inside wheel that breaks and saves drive/more expensive bits and its beyond easy and cheap to fix

 

worst case you hole the deck get away with a wee thin steel patch pop rivited over - lasted 3 years like that so far

Etesia were shit for me. The Kaaz/Honda/Lawnflite design is pretty good- fan assisted collection and a blade brake clutch. If I were to go back to pedestrian mowing I'd have a wheeled version as my main mower.

Doobin,

Why? 

Do they do a tracked varient?😁😁😁

P.S.

Thanks for the useful suggestions, the side discharge JD I bought to cut the rough grass in among the wheen o fruit bushes/trees, is driving me mad wi the swards it leaves.

So I need a bagger.
