HRX217HYA--Would it be overkill for me

[slopedlawn]

Hi. Obviously I have a sloped lawn--with a nasty slope (20-30 degrees) in the back from a swale. It's just a bit over 1/4 acre, but it's tough going with a push mower. Tried the Hondas with the thumb controls--did not like. The HRX217HYA seems perfect--and simple to control--but is it overkill for my yard?

Nothing is over kill if it works for you. It should last you a good many years so just enjoy.

I agree, overkill is a relative term to me. I also do not like the Honda thumb-control thing but am sure if I were to buy a new mower it would be the one you're looking at. They're awesome. Well worth the money and, taken care of, it'll last you darn near forever.
