Lovely review Rob. My grandad has a 19” Honda self propelled with electric start (HR2160 I think was the model) and he loved it (so did I as a kid!). The HRX 476 looks a lovely mower but as you have rightly said you need the right type of lawns to get the best out of it.
Hi Rob, Another great knowledgeable video sharing your thoughts on your rear roller. I went solo this year and my first purchase of mower was Stihl 545RM which gives a good finish and is good in the wet too. I will be looking for a second mower to share the load moving forward but will more than likely be at the start of the next season. Nothing is growing down here in Kent thankfully I have many maintenance clients and a few of the grass cutting clients have asked for alternative tasks to be completed which always helps + I have a few hedge cuts to complete wish are a bonus in this dry period. Hopefully The Green gold might start growing again down South🤞😁 Take care Rob.!
Hi Rob, I enjoyed your review and agree with you on just about everything you spoke about, however I'd like to share my experience of the mower as I have the exact same one which I bought in May this year, on my first use of the mower a plastic piece from underneath came off but i convinced myself that I'd just gone over it so continued to use it until last week when the self propelled stopped working I tool it back and was told that two bolts from underneath had come out and had done a lot of damage to the mower I'm currently waiting for them to get back to me to as they have had to get intouch with Honda to see what they say, I paid a little more for my mower £1190 🤬 hopefully things get sorted soon, keep the up with the good videos and the honest feed back you give us 👌
I am sorry to hear that Gary. Fingers crossed that Honda do the right thing. I bought a copper pergular back pack sprayer , after two days work it’s started to leaf. The place I bought it from are being helpful. It’s bloody annoying. Let me know how you get on. All the best.
Hi Rob, update on the mower, had the call from Higgotts to say the mower was ready to collect the guy there shown me exactly what had happened you have three bolts underneath that hold the engine in place the first come out on the first use of the mower the second one came out a couple of months later and damaged the undercarriage, to be honest I hadn't used it that much hopefully alls good now. Regards Gary
All I would say having serviced a few of these now. You do ..👍 need to keep cleaning out the belt guard they are like a hoover and fill up. And before you know it the belts off or snapped
Hi Rob what's happening Hope your well, that's my next purchase a roller lawnmower I like the look of that Honda well worth it's money at £1000 Rob loving your edge trimming work 🤏 hope you have a great week end my friend 👍
Thanks Jonny, just back from a commercial job. All the best to you. Keep up the great work with your channel. I will keep the shouts going, before you know it, you will have 1k subs.👍🏻
Hi rob, I have found over the years a slightly slower mower give a finer cut. I have a push mower a cobra with a roller for small lawns and a bit like when you ( or the wife )😊 hover the slower you go the better the job looks. Still no rain down here in devon...😊😊😊😊.
Hi Rob, I have had 3 hayter pros over the years but they are heavy. The latest one is Honda powered and really good for me but I am impressed with that one. Maybe just maybe😁
I’m buying my first mower for lawn care jobs. I’ll be working on lots of posh gardens, who I imagine will like stripes 🤔. Not sure what to do. Also looking at the etesia pro 46. I probably need both machines? What do you think? Great review 👍!
You know I love my shaft drive Weibang. Powerful, great in the wet, cut through anything. BUT. I'd never diss a Honda. They make quality machines. No one can argue with that. Personally, I'm not over keen on roller mowers. But a stripe does look good. Again, you can't really argue with that either. My spending on new toys, sorry. Tools. Has stopped now. As I see a down turn in earning coming all of our ways. Due to a world wide economic down turn.
Your so right Gary. It all about saving now and trying to be economical. No more kit for me unless it breaks. I feel a video coming on the subject. All the best. 👍🏻
Rear roller mowers don’t cut as high as a four wheel mower. Plastic box mowers like stihl, have better air flow, hence they collect in the wet better. All the best.
Hi Rob, ive seen youre review of the honda hrx426. You said in that review that it didn't cut high enough, only 55mm. But this is only 58mm. Not much difference. Hav you changed youre mind about the hrx426 then? Thanks👍🏻
The 426 was a little too small. It’s still a nice mower. I do prefer the hrx 476 rear roller over it’s smaller brother. It’s all about personal preference. Thanks for watching and your comment.
Thanks for your reply. Im thinking of buying a hrx426 rear roller tomorrow, but im worried about it only cutting up to 55mm. My lawn (190sq m) is only 7 weeks old (reseeded) and has already had 3 cuts. My old lawn was around 70mm but suffered with thatch badly. If i went on holiday, and cam back to lawn at about 75/80mm would the 426 cut it?? Many thanks Roy
Hope you ramp the mower on and off the van. An accident waiting to happen otherwise. I lift, but always get plastic decks, also only do smaller stuff these days. Good review though.
Rob can I ask you have you ever had any complaints from the neighbours of your customers over noise you know the old can you keep the noise down my husband is on night's etc ?
Wayne, don't know about Rob, but I've had one of those. Son works nights 😴. I always have a small pot for customer/public relations. As I was doing an all morning at my most loyal customer's, I bit my tongue, purchased a bottle of wine and chocolates on my break from a newsagents and went and knocked on. She was so surprised, she then asked me to quote some work! I politely turned it down.
Hello Wayne, I am not an early riser. My first garden starts approximately 0900 hours. Fingers crossed no one has moaned thus far. You watch, everyone will start winging now. All the best.
I have this mower it's great.Not heavy to get in and out of van.
Your kit is always clean and ready.
It drives my missus mad that I spend more time sorting out my kit than I do using it.
I do try and keep it looking clean. Especially before a video. All the best.
Lovely review Rob. My grandad has a 19” Honda self propelled with electric start (HR2160 I think was the model) and he loved it (so did I as a kid!). The HRX 476 looks a lovely mower but as you have rightly said you need the right type of lawns to get the best out of it.

I do like the Honda Engines very reliable

But the best you can afford and good luck.
I love roller mowers but I prefer one that mulches / collects . HRN 535 I purchased. £780 honda. 🙃
You make a valid point. All the best.

Thinking of buying an older 21inch one but full working order good condition for a half acre garden but on a slope do you think it would be suitable?
The Honda hrx 537 four wheel mower is great and it offers a mulching services. Good luck and thanks for your comment.
Newbie question. Why do some mowers work better in the rain? And why would you need to cut higher than the Honda cuts as it has a choice of heights?
Rear roller mowers don’t cut as high as a four wheel mower.
Plastic box mowers like stihl, have better air flow, hence they collect in the wet better.
All the best.
Great job! Which blower do you use after you've finished?
I use the Husqvarna bx 525 hand held blower. A brilliant machine. Thanks for watching and your comment.
@@maxwellsgrasscuttingservices Thank you. Am enjoying your content! V useful! Keep it up!
Looks like a nice piece of kit Rob, still love my hayter though 😉

Pleased your happy with your Hayter. All the best.

Yes , as long as the grass is dry.
Double cut it on the highest setting.
The Honda rear rollers don’t like wet grass.
Good luck.
@@maxwellsgrasscuttingservices thanks Rob, top man👍🏻 carry on with the great reviews!!
Hope you ramp the mower on and off the van. An accident waiting to happen otherwise. I lift, but always get plastic decks, also only do smaller stuff these days. Good review though.
I do Derek. All the best.

Updated my customer after, they were so pleased, they offered to pay for the choc and wine!
Thank you for taking the time to reply Jon that is very much appreciated and good on you for doing the decent/honourable thing too Jon
Even better Jon you obviously have some dam good customers bud
Hello Wayne, I am not an early riser. My first garden starts approximately 0900 hours. Fingers crossed no one has moaned thus far. You watch, everyone will start winging now. All the best.
good mowers abit expensive spares are dear for honda mowers and as of October 2022 Honda will no longer be making lawnmowers anymore
Honda are still making mowers in France for the European market. All the best and thanks for watching.
You could put roller add _on cheaper mower
You pay for quality.👍🏻
You don’t like hayter but still wearing the t shirt 😆
I like the shirt 👔. 😂
