    Honda mowers power differences between GXV140 and GXV160

    hmm that's kinda crappy to hear. I was legit hoping they'd hold a power up event for yard care equipment again but if not... oh well. My logic is that if by late may they have an HRC216 available still that it was meant to be to own one and if they don't then I'll truck along just fine with my...

    Honda mowers power differences between GXV140 and GXV160

    yeah I wished that the HRC would go on sale but alas those days are long long long gone. I recall the HRCs in Canada would in april, go on sale and sell for about $100 off retail but I haven't see the HRC on promo in AGES. I wonder if Honda would run an aggressive promo campaign to rid...

    Honda mowers power differences between GXV140 and GXV160

    The funny thing is BOTH my master's series mowers are like new/pristine/borderline showroom condition with some spare parts that are a bit hard to get (grass catcher bag for my HR195 for example is no longer available but I have one brand new on my shelf). There isn't really a need for a new...

    Honda mowers power differences between GXV140 and GXV160

    That is precisely why I'm looking at the HRC. Much to my amazement nobody in the many years that YouTube has been around has bothered making a youTube vid on the aluminum deck master's series let alone doing a comparison between a Master's series mower and the current commercial series units...

    Honda mowers power differences between GXV140 and GXV160

    Anyone have real world experiences using a Honda mower equipped with a GXV140 and a GXV160? I'm trying to justify buying a new Honda HRC216 to add to my stable Honda mowers (currently 2 aluminum deck master series mowers). Trying to understand if there is an appreciable power difference...

    To purchase a new Honda HRC216HXA before they're permanently not available?

    strange I thought i had replied to your response days ago but I don't see it here. I'm not worried about the weight as my master series HR215HMA is already 111 lbs so the HRC is just another 12 lbs heavier than that. I went to the dealer to look at one and holy moly.... nice machine BUT the...

    To purchase a new Honda HRC216HXA before they're permanently not available?

    This is old news to many folks here but new news to me that Honda has made the decision to stop making lawn mowers in N. America. I currently own two cherry examples of Honda's older "master series" mowers. One HR195 (3 speed) and one HR215HMA (hydrostat/electric start). Both are bordering...
