I’ve had an HRX217 for 7 years now… it has pulled every time on the first pull for YEARS. And still does. This year for the first time I actually decided to maintain it and changed the oil, filters, plug and blades out and it was surging bad at idle so I put a new carb on it and boom runs like a new mower.
George… would you buy this today vs a battery based mower, like an Ego or Milwaukee? I know you switched to reel, and back… wondering what rotary is your suggestion today?
I bought a Honda HRX217HYA a few weeks ago, and it was a great decision. Started on first pull, and the power is fantastic. It goes up the steep incline in my back yard with no problems.
@@PrincessCutLawnCareI heard that the exposed belt inside the deck may get damaged if it gets wet when mowing wet/moist grass. Do u know if this is true?
I bought this model in 2016. Started helping buddies with their lawn businesses as a side hustle. I used it for four summers. It started smoking and burning oil end of 2020 lawn season. I just went to Lowes and bought the newest version. I would get a Honda commercial if I were cutting grass full time.
I just got a HRX217 yesterday. On the left side of the handlebar the adjustment pin doesn't hold the bar tight to the handle stay. It is tight on the right side. Is this normal, or did my handlebar somehow get bent/warped during shipping?
I'm in oz, and just bought the hrx217hyu. I've been cutting lawns since I was 10 now near 60. I cut commercially for 12 years using a jd x758 and bought a toro for the small bit's. Didn't impress me. Sold it. Bought a steel deck Honda. Cut awesome just heavy at 52kg. Sold the business. I just bought a place that I need to bag for a while to catch the clippings so as not to walk them inside. It's probably 1 acre in size. I had a guy come twice to begin with to get the grass down as it was neglected being a rental formally. The mower started first pull, it took me a while to get used to all the controls as the drive speed controller is down next to the engine speed control. Height control on 3 the couch was up around 3 to 6 high. It cuts sooo well. It bagged 99% in first pass. I didn't expect 100% as it was thick and long. Once I got used to varying the speed for the conditions it was easy. A very powerful engine. The clippings are cut fine having been cut twice. I use clippings for compost. Second pass it's like a vacuum that cuts grass. Love everything about it. Fuel cap size, twin blades, fuel tap, positive height controls (stays where you set it), bag is large and catches everything if you clear the mesh of debris after emptying, the bag stays in position solid until you empty again, speed controller is a cruise control effectively, starts easily, 10kg lighter than the metal deck, blade control so you don't have to turn it off to empty the bag, handles fold flat for storage with a quarter turn and stay in the desired position, of which it has 3 choices when in use. Thanks Honda for doing it right. I look forward to mowing then sitting down to look at it, pat myself on the back for making the right choice. $1,500 bucks here in Oz.
Great video. Just purchased one. Cuts amazing. Gcv 200 out of the box was spitting fuel from the exhaust. 2 dealer visits later... Carb replacement covered under warranty. Picking it up tomorrow. Fingers crossed it's my last dealer visit. Anyone else have this issue?
HRX217 better than any EV mower ever, I owned an EV POS, and this was the best purchase ever. Never again will on buy anything battery powered mower wise.
I just bought one this week. Mine doesn’t have the electric start. We’ve had so much rain I only got to use it in a small area. Impressed how well it mulched.
NICELY done, George ! Will definitely consider the Honda HRX mower whenever my 1990 Craftsman Eager-1 FWD 4 HP 22" ever decides to give up the ghost. Mow On !
Great review! I have a different HRX, the BBC model. The only thing I didn't hear you say was balance your blades with care because if both blades are slightly out of balance the mower vibrates more than you will like.
I had a John Deere JE75 (Blade Clutch, 5 speed, Electric Start, and Oil Filter). I retired it a few months ago as I noticed the crank was bent when installing a new blade clutch. Decided to retire it as a new crank for the FV150v is around $150 new and the blade clutch was just about $184. I bought the HRX217K6HZA as it was comparable to my john deere. It has the blade brake clutch, electric start, and the hydrostatic transmission. This mower is the most comparable to my last mower (JE75) and is very enjoyable to mow with. I highly recommend it. I recommend buying the top of the line version with the 5 speed hydrostatic drive over this mower drive (gearbox) with variable belt speed. It'll last much longer and the fluid can be changed in it. I love it so far and have not had a complaint about it, EXCEPT, the lack of a decent lawn striping kit. The checkmate kit requires drilling (which Im sure voids the lifetime warranty on the deck). I had the toro one, but they wear out after about 2 years. I also wish there was the ability to put a rear chute deflector where the bag goes like my JE75 had the capability to do.
Ohh man Dubs you got all the bells and whistles, that blade stop feature comes in clutch (no Pun Intended). I totally agree about the striping kit, i have the checkmate and was pretty damn hesitant about drilling in the deck but alas the things we do for light reflections in our grass.. :/
@Michael Stewart, after 5hr break in use a 100% synthetic oil, Honda air filter and plug. If your yard is thick you can have your dealer set the governor up a little for more engine speed. But if you mow at the right hieght and slow enough with going down one after each pass to reach where u wanna be, you should b fine. God Bless.
I sold my Ariens IKON XD 42 w/ 22 HP Kohler zero turn due to moving to smaller yard (less grass to cut). I want the same high quality cut that comes from power and suction. Just placed order for this mower w/ blade disengagement. I'm super excited and looking forward to delivery this Friday (May 2022) for my first cut on my new yard. Thanks for the great, easy to follow review.
@@steffen707- the mower has been working well. About to close out the second season of using it and it’s been just as good as on the first day. No complaints, no problems. I do like having the blade disabled and the mower still running.
@@PrincessCutLawnCare This mower is discontinued on Mowers Direct now. I got that just in time. I don't know if the model was discontinued though. You should do a video on how to winterize this.... and other things too for that matter.
Great video with great tips 👍🏻 I’m lucky enough to live only about a mile away from an ethanol free gas station. I wish I had one of those HRX mowers.. My low end Toro Super Recycler (the one with the kohler engine) is “ok” but nothing like one of those!
Man those gas stations are far and few between in my neck of the woods.... I have a recycler w a briggs engine AND the blade stop feature, i honestly dont understand all the hype with these mowers. They are mediocre at best. i much rather have a HRX then a recycler... They must be throwin out some serious dough to these youtubers to promote them. The HRX is clearly the best rotary mower on the market and the select drive is amazing. Theres some conspiracies going on in the lawn community...
GEORGE! Is this still your go to mower for bagging fall/spring cleanup? I'm starting a reno and my ego can't even bag the dethatch mess, so I had to backpack blow it.
Good review! Why did you choose select drive instead of hydrostatic? I have an Toro Timemaster with the newest engine. But looking for a mower which will be better in slightly wet grass. Living in Europe so no problem here getting an Honda mower.

Hi andrew in my front yard i have a mix of grandslam prg and scotts elite kbg. In the back its a cool season mix of fescue and kbg. I agree its hard to beat the quality of cut from the honda mowers
@@PrincessCutLawnCare my friend has one on his 0 turn but paid like over 250$ and it works really good . On the website it saids $110 for it which is not bad. Thanks so much
@@PrincessCutLawnCare So I pull the cord once to start, it starts strongly, and then dies in a couple of seconds because the choke releases too quickly. With my old Honda, I could reach down and hold the auto choke lever in position until the engine warmed up. Is there a way to do that with the HRX217VKA?
I have a dumb (to most) question. I like to push my mower and use the drive when I need it (I'm old and need the exercise). Can you do that with this unit or does it "click"? I'm hoping this belt-drive model will allow it.
Nice mower, although I had to disqualify the Honda mowers from my recent consideration because of the rear discharge. I occasionally need to discharge in taller grass and I don’t want to be walking into clippings.
I've mowed INSANELY tall grass with this mower (probably 10"-12") and it shockingly mulched it fine. The high CC engine combined with the blade system can handle much taller grass than a cheaper mower and will chop it finely. You will never side discharge with this mower. I guarantee it.
i believe thats how much i paid for this one, but the one with electric is a great mower as well! i know the prices increased with the supply chain issues either way you cant go wrong with any honda

Wont be buying another Honda mower after the experience I had with my HRR. Im getting a Toro super recycler with a Honda engine, whenever it comes back in stock that is.
@@PrincessCutLawnCare well, the biggest issue was the rear wheels locking up when you pull the mower back. Only way to fix it is to take apart and sand/grease the rear self propel axle, and then put it back together only for it to start acting up again 2 weeks later. This is supposedly fixed on the HRN but I didnt want to take chances. Then, the front wheels are toed out because the height adjstment levers are warped. Cheap design. Next, the handle bolts rattle off periodically. Minor but annoying. Also, the blade clutch is already worn out, the mower is only about 5 years old. Ive seen 10 and 20 year old mowers with working blade clutches. All of these issues should not happen this quick on a $400+ lawnmower. However, the engine is great. No issues there. So I bought a new Toro Super Recycler with the Honda engine. I havent cut with it yet but I like it better than the HRX and HRN already.
I love this mower top quality…
Honda sells stainless side guard strips to protect the deck from scratches, well worth to install those both side guards,
I just start to reach down for my pull handle and it starts right up. Well......almost.
I’ve had an HRX217 for 7 years now… it has pulled every time on the first pull for YEARS. And still does.

Love everything about it.

The Toro commercial with a Honda engine has been the best mower that I've ever used.
Loved the review and 100% agree with you on the Max Control, to many haters on it which just don’t understand how to use it.
Added 12 oz oil to hrx...pulled recoil a gental pull to move oil thru engine..and it started up without a compression pull
