You can cut up to 21 inches wide traveling at your own speed as you push the lawn mower around your yard. There are 6 height adjustments and this is a three-in-one type of lawn mower. It includes discharge, mulching, and bagging. There is no leaf cutter. There are twin blades similar to most other lawnmowers made by Honda. They are supposed to do a superior job of cutting the grass into smaller pieces which makes it easier to bag as well as the grass will deteriorate faster when mulched.

Description of the Honda Lawn Mower HRR216PKA

This lawn mower although lower down in the lineup for overall features is still a great lawn mower for those people who only have a small lawn to cut and do not mind pushing their lawn mower.

The front wheels are plastic, while the rear wheels have ball bearings in them since they need to handle more weight. The grass catcher bag can hold up to 2.4 bushels of grass clippings which is sufficient for many lawns.

If you plan to mulch your lawn, most people find with any mulching lawn mowers, work much better if you cut your grass more often before it gets too long. The lawnmowers can do a much better job when the grass is around an inch long in terms of new growth.

The current price and specifications are subject to change and can be adjusted by the manufacturer at any time. Check with your local dealer for the latest pricing and specifications.

Operators can set the lawn mower to work in one of four settings – mulch, discharge, bag, and leaf shred.

We would be interested in hearing how well this works since we have not used this particular machine ourselves.

Twin blades also provide greater mulching capability and cut all grass into finer clippings causing more grass to be able to be bagged and grass clipping, in general, to disintegrate more quickly.

Honda Lawn Mower HRX2173HYC

September 21st, 2012 ernie Posted in 21 Inch Cut, Front Self Powered, Honda, Reviews No Comments »

Honda Lawn Mower HRX2173HYCThis Honda Lawn Mower HRX2173HYC model is packed with features but there are a couple that we have not seen in other lawn mowers we have reviewed on this site that we wanted to bring to your attention.

First of all, there is the hydrostatic transmission that provides a variable speed system. There are nine preset speeds to choose from to match your walking speed and/or the thickness of the grass that you are cutting.

Then there is the four in one versatile system. You can convert within seconds from mulching to bagging, to discharge to leaf shred at your convenience. You can simultaneously distribute grass clippings to the bag and discharge.

Next is one of the few lawnmowers where you can keep the engine running and stop the blades from spinning. This is handy for emptying the bag of grass clippings without having to stop the engine.  The twin blades also cut the grass clippings into finer particles when you are in the mulching configuration. Refer to our specifications section and features section for more information as well as the dealer closest to you for more details.

We also really like the front-wheel-drive system, considering it much better than corresponding rear-wheel drive systems. Ground speed can be adjusted by adjusting the speed lever or simply by pressure on the handle such that you take some of the weight off the front wheels making the wheels slip a bit and ground speed slowing accordingly.

Honda Lawn Mower HRX2173HYC – Specifications:

Warranty: This lawnmower from Honda comes with a warranty of 36 months for non-commercial use and 12 months for commercial use.

Features:

  • Recoil starter
  • Seven position height adjustment
  • Speed adjustment from zero to 4 miles per hour
  • Rear bag, mulch, and rear discharge

Description of the Honda Lawn Mower HRX2173HYC

One feature of the Honda Lawn Mower HRX2173HYC that we are concerned about is the rear discharge feature. Although we have not experienced this ourselves we wonder about all of the grass clippings coming out the rear and hitting our legs as we walk behind the lawnmower. Occasionally there are sharp objects as well that are propelled out the discharge and we are somewhat concerned about being hit by one of these projectiles.

We expect that most people will only use this lawnmower in the mulching mode or in the grass catcher mode. At the time of writing this post, Honda had dropped the MSRP price by $150 to enhance sales as we approach the end of the season.

The current price and specifications are subject to change and can be adjusted by the manufacturer at any time. Check with your local dealer for the latest pricing and specifications.

Just push a button and your engine is revving and ready to go. The auto choke makes it a an easy start every time. This lawn mower should be easy to operate.

It also comes with the hydrostatic transmission system that provides a variable speed operation with nine preset speeds to match both your normal walking speed as well as grass height or for transport to another location.

Keep the engine running while changing the bag for the grass catcher while the blades stop turning. Also change from mulching to grass catcher to side discharge in seconds. There is also a leaf shred capability.

Check out the long list of specifications as well as additional features that we have hi-lited later in this post.

The Honda Lawn Mower HRX2173HZC is a very convenient lawn mower to use with the 4-in-one grass catching, mulching, discharge and leaf shred system, electric start, self-propelled, and blade stop for safety. However we are somewhat concerned about the rear discharge and that grass clipping with be distributed behind the machine where the operator follows. We have not used one of these machines and so we encourage buyers to review this issue with the dealer to satisfy themselves that there will be no safety issue with this item.

The current price and specifications are subject to change and can be adjusted by the manufacturer at any time. Check with your local dealer for the latest pricing and specifications.

Description of the Honda Lawn Mower HRC216PDA

This lawnmower comes with a height adjustment system of 8 positions from 3/4 inches all the way up to a 4-inch height for leaving your grass extra long. It is a recoil start, in other words, you need to start the engine by pulling on the starter cord. There is also a standard manual choke system that should be engaged when the engine is cold to enhance starting.

For the detailed specifications, read the list above, however, the most exciting part of this lawnmower is the twin-blade micro-cut system which provides four cutting surfaces to chop your grass into finer particles making it much easier to disintegrate if you mulch and bag if you plan to capture your grass and dispose of it by other means.

Mulching Grass

Many people prefer to mulch their grass for a number of reasons including that the grass provides nutrients back into the lawn as it decomposes and you do not need to deal with bagging and disposing of the grass clippings. The environmental advantages of leaving your mulched grass clippings on the lawn are superior to leaving them at the curb to be disposed of.

Finally, this is a push-type lawnmower. If you are looking for a self-propelled model you will need to consider another model that has this feature. Self-propelled models are very handy especially if you have slightly hilly terrain to navigate.

The current price and specifications are subject to change and can be adjusted by the manufacturer at any time. Check with your local dealer for the latest pricing and specifications.

There are 8 mowing heights from 3/4 of an inch to 4 inches. The engine speed can be reduced to idle and the blades stopped while emptying the grass catcher bag. No need to shut the engine off and then restart it.

Commercial operators will appreciate an added safety feature. There is a manual fuel shut-off valve for added safety while the lawnmower is being transported.

Some vendors such as Home Depot, Lowes and others will rent a van to you by the hour to transport items purchased at their stores. The rates are quite reasonable.

Safety & Operation

All lawn mowers should be treated with respect. They are powerful machines and in the wrong hands can do a lot of damage. Start by reading the manual and following all of the safety guidelines outlined in the manual. Never work on the lawn mower without first ensuring that the engine is turned off.

While cutting the lawn and using the side discharge, never allow anyone to stand beside the discharge or point the discharge at something that could be damaged by high speed flying objects  ejected from the lawn mower.

Always check the engine to make sure that there is sufficient oil in the engine before starting each day. Top up if necessary.  Fill the fuel tank while the engine is cool.

Keep the housing free of debris to avoid the acid from the grass causing the housing to deteriorate. Also keep grass from building up around the muffler to avoid the possibility of fire. Check the spark plug to ensure that it is not corroded and dirty. Replace if it is pitted. Always use clean fresh gasoline for your lawn mower. Following these tips and others in the manual will ensure that your lawn mower will last for many years.

Keep the housing free of debris to avoid the acid from the grass causing the housing to deteriorate. Also, keep grass from building up around the muffler to avoid the possibility of fire. Check the spark plug to ensure that it is not corroded and dirty. Replace if it is pitted. Always use clean, fresh gasoline for your lawn mower. Following these tips and others in the manual will ensure that your lawn mower will last for many years.
