    Anyone demo or buy a new HRN216?

    It moves backward and forward without any effort as long as you don't push the drive mechanism while doing it.

    Epic Fail of Handle Lock Knob to adjust/raise/lower the handle on New HRN216 Models

    They have! When the drive handle is not engaged the mower moves backward and forward effortlessly!

    Epic Fail of Handle Lock Knob to adjust/raise/lower the handle on New HRN216 Models

    The part came and it works perfectly! I will buy one for the other side as well. I am at a loss as to why Honda would have changed a much better design for a frequently used item to a piece of junk!

    Epic Fail of Handle Lock Knob to adjust/raise/lower the handle on New HRN216 Models

    So I just purchased the HRN216VKA model Lawn Mower. The day I got it I assembled it, started it up and made 3 quick passes on my lawn to see its performance.

But people mod and upgrade their mowers all the time with great results. I am just hoping that someone else...

    Anyone demo or buy a new HRN216?

    I just purchased a HRN216VKA. Just got it today. Very easy to setup, looks and feels great. I only mowed a little bit with it but it cut and performed way better than my Toro Personal Pace POS Mower I just had to junk.

    Switching Blades from a HRN model to the HRX model Blades?

    I just purchased a Honda HRN216VKA Lawn Mower. So far I love it! But I have a question about swapping blades. The HRX217VKA model has the 4-in-1 Versamow system that consists of a notched bag/mulch lever and a different main blade that has different ends. I assume it is for better mulching and...
