***I moved your thread to the Honda Forum.

As you know, I have many good things to say about Honda, and I too have an HRR. I can't name any negative things but some positive things include the Clip Director on the 2013 HRR's, so there is no need for a mulch plug!! I think that is a great feature! :thumbsup:

Yea i know a guy at the dealer has a 13 year old Honda still going strong and he mows a state park with it :thumbsup::thumbsup:

We love ours! Easy to start, mulches clippings and leaves into dust, and it is so-o-o east to start. Well built and did I mention it is easy to start?

Enjoy your new easy to start Honda!

I've got a GCV160 engine on one of my mowers that's been going strong since 1999 also. I hate to admit it, but it's probably my least care for engine too. Can't say enough good about Honda engines.

Is there much need for a 190cc over a 160cc? I'll need mine for mulching on the outlying areas of my property after I use my ZTR.

I think the GCV190 is a lot more powerful than the 160, but that's just me. My HRR would die in foot-tall grass, but with the HRX it sounds just like it does mowing 1-INCH grass! :thumbsup:

It's surprising how much difference a few cc can make. Honda rates the GCV160 (160cc) at 4.4 HP and 6.9 lbf ft at 2,500 rpm and the GCV190 (187cc) at 5.1 HP and 8.3 lbf ft at 2,500 rpm.

Interesting. I guess it's worth spending the extra dollars for the extra power.

As a comparison, Honda uses their GSV160 and GXV160 engines on their commercial mowers. The GSV160 (160cc) on the push version is rated at 4.4 HP and 6.9 lbf ft torque, and the GXV160 (163cc) on their hydrostatic transmission commercial is rated at 4.3 HP and 7.1 lbf ft torque.

That helps, thank you. After I get my new Stihl trimmer next week, the Honda mower is my next purchase. The grass is and weeds are beginning to grow here in north Georgia.

Thanks! No dealers near me, but I'll travel a bit longer to buy from a dealer rather than buy from Home Depot down the road.

Geez, and they're talking about the possibility of more snow here! Want any recommendations on snow blowers?

Thankfully no need for snowblowers here. My Stihl BR600 would have to do if it did snow.

Yeah I used my Echo handheld blower to blow some snow the other month. It wasn't the quickest way, but it worked. But it was only like 1.5 inches of light and fluffy snow.

I am working on a snow-Kudzu hybrid that will allow all you Southern gentlemen a taste of true Southern/Yankee hospitality. :drink::drink:
