LANDSCAPING & TURF MANAGEMENT
Honda Power Equipment is adding six
new models to its lawn mower fleet.
Designed with the residential user in mind,
the two HRR216 models are available
in Push and Self-Propelled models, and
both feature Honda’s new Clip Director
3-in-1 system, which allows users to either
mulch, bag or discharge clippings with just
one touch.
Six new lawnmowers for Honda
For those with medium-to large yards,
or for contractors in the market for a
competitively-priced mower, the two
HRX217 Mulch & Catch models have an
88-litre catcher bag – the biggest Honda
has ever offered – and a tough NeXite
cutting deck. The HRX217 Recoil Start and
Electric Start models are lightweight but
tough enough to handle most terrains.
The HRC216 is powered by Honda’s
GSV160 commercial engine and equipped
with Honda’s MicroCut twin-blade system
resulting in grass clippings so fine, to
enable up to 30% more clippings in every
bag.
The HRC216 also features mulching
capability, a steel deck and an 88-litre
catching bag, meaning more clients can be
serviced and less time is wasted emptying
the catcher bag.
The HRS216 Side Chute lawnmower’s
unique design allows hassle-free mowing,
with a convenient side chute or mulching
option enabling users to return their grass
clippings back into the soil.
“With 17 mowers now wearing the Honda
badge, no matter what kind of lawn you’ve
got, there’s a Honda just for you. Domestic
or commercial, there’s never been this
much choice in Honda’s range,” Honda
Power Equipment’s General Manager,
Victor Colcott said.
All new models feature 21” cutting decks
and are powered by Honda engines. All are
backed by Honda’s network of 450 dealers
Australia-wide and come with a standard
two-year domestic warranty.
