I'm just trying to get some estimated tranny repair costs for a Honda HRX217HYA (hydrostatic) lawnmower and a repair cost for Honda HRX217VYA (gear driven) lawnmower if one or the other was taken to an authorized Honda repair service.
I've been debating which model would be the better choice when it comes to tranny repair. I've seen one vendor selling hydrostatic tranny for $343 which dropped my jaws, $343 then add labor cost? Uncertain what the gear driven tranny sell for then adding labor cost? Haven't had much luck with gear driven trannys on my last 2 self propelled mowers.
I have a month or so to decide which would be best for a 1/2 acre lawn that takes about 1.25 hours to mow once sometimes twice a week for 5 months, lawn is very bumpy, very little incline on one side of my yard, enough obstacles to slow me down.
