About the Item

Honda HRX217VKA 21″ Self Propelled Walk Behind Lawn Mower

(HRX2176VKA, HRX217K6VKA)

The Honda HRX217VKA lawn mower offers Honda’s Adjustable Speed Smart Drive transmission, Nexite deck, and MicroCut twin blades.

POWERFUL, RELIABLE HONDA GCV200 ENGINE. Easy-starting, fuel efficient, and powerful, Honda’s premium residential GCV200 engine delivers even more power and torque than its predecssor. The result? Superior mowing performance, and easier and faster cutting, even in heavy, thick grass. Increased power also means increased durability, providing years of reliable service.

CHOOSE YOUR SPEED: SELECT DRIVE. Easily adjust the mower’s speed to your stride by rotating the speed adjust dial. Then engage the Select Drive control for intuitive, comfortable speed control. Variable speed from 0 to 4 mph.

4-IN-1 VERSAMOW SYSTEM WITH CLIP DIRECTOR – MULCH, BAG, DISCHARGE AND LEAF SHRED WITH NO TOOLS OR ATTACHMENTS REQUIRED. Honda’s revolutionary Versamow System allows you to mulch, bag, discharge, and shred leaves – or even a combination of mulching and bagging! Just slide the convenient Clip Director knob to choose how much grass is bagged or mulched. No tools or costly attachments are needed. It’s the ultimate in convenience and versatility.

HONDA MICROCUT TWIN BLADES: SUPERIOR MULCHING AND BAGGING. Honda’s exclusive twin blade MicroCut System uses four cutting surfaces that result in ultra fine clippings for superior mulching and more clippings per bag. The end result? A perfect cut, less time emptying the bag, and less work for you.

RUST-FREE, NO-DENT NEXITE MOWING DECK. The HRX’s 21″ deck is made of NeXite. This high impact resistant material does not dent, rust, or corrode over time.

HONDA AUTO CHOKE SYSTEM – EASY STARTING. No engine choke required! Just start the mower and go!

WANT TO MULCH, BUT WORRIED ABOUT LEAVING CLUMPS? NO PROBLEM. The Versamow System helps you to mulch or partially mulch even in severe conditions. Just adjust the 10 position Clip Director to the right setting for your lawn.

GO FURTHER BEFORE EMPTYING THE BAG. Smaller grass clippings mean more grass fits in the bag. So you can mow 30% farther before you have to empty the bag.

EASY, CONVENIENT REAR DISCHARGE. The HRX has a convenient rear discharge door that improves maneuverability, eliminating the need for a separate discharge chute attachment. Clippings are directed out the bottom at the rear of the mower.

MAKE QUICK WORK OF LEAVES, WITH NO ATTACHMENTS NECESSARY. The HRX design makes leaf shredding easy. Tiny pieces minimize the use of leaf bags for collecting debris. No attachments or tools are necessary.

3-POSITION QUICK RELEASE ADJUSTABLE HANDLE. The quick release handle is easy to adjust to one of 3 positions for comfortable mowing. Or fold it over for more compact storage.

LARGE 9″ BALL BEARING WHEELS. Ball bearings in all four wheels offer better maneuverability, smoother drive, and increased durability.

7 POSITION CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT (.75″ TO 4″). Convenient height adjustment levers to set mowing height for lawn conditions.

LARGE 2.5 BUSHEL CAPACITY GRASS BAG. Our large capacity grass bags are balanced so they are easy to empty, saving you time and effort.

FLYWHEEL BRAKE SAFETY SYSTEM. Quickly stops the engine when you let go of the flywheel brake lever.

MANUAL FUEL SHUT-OFF VALVE. The fuel valve can be shut off for transport, storage, or to perform maintenance.
