Anybody know what is the best push mower to buy in the $4-500 range? I have 3 acres and a zero turn. I'm new to the mower thing. Thanks!

Hahaha! Why do you say go with the HRX? Do you love yours? I've heard they're expensive to have them worked on.

If you want a good mower, the Honda Engine, and stay between 4 and 500 dollars I'd take a look at this one

I just think that all wheel drive sound kinda neat. I thought if it was just a case that you really liked the Honda motors you can get them on any number of different mowers. My Cub Cadet has the 190cc Honda and I've never had any issues with it. The Issues that I've had with the Honda mowers themselves have been there drives and there wheels always go bad long before there motors.

There are many reasons why a Honda HRX is the right choice. To start off, yes it might be more expensive than the Toro, but I think it will last longer and is an all-around better mower. To start off, the GCV190 engine is way better (more powerful) than the GCV160 engine on all the other Honda models (the HRR, HRC, and HRS). Secondly, the NeXite deck on the HRX is very durable, won't rust, and repels grass! With the grass I mow, I hardly ever have to clean the mower deck! Next, the controls are great. You can get the BBC on the HRX217HYA, so you can stop the blades and keep the engine running. Lastly, it has the Clip Director, so you can switch from bagging to mulching or anywhere in between with no mulch plug! The list goes on and on, but those are some of the main points. Check out the link and pictures below, and ask if you have any questions! :smile:

I love the switch from bagging to mowing and the double blade feature.
