Honda Walk Behind Mowers

[Floyd Eye]

We run 2 Honda commercial mowers that have been bulletproof. Sharpen the blades, use good gas for the fall shutdown etc. I'm looking forward to the time when battery mowers become viable for all day work. It's coming soon, just now it would be expensive. 2 stroke engines are dirty and loud, and toxic for the people running them. All our other tools besides the mowers are electric; string trimmers, hedge trimmers, chainsaws and blowers are all Stihl battery models.

My sister in law has a battery operated mower and a big yard. She loves it.

I have one for home too (Ego) and I also love it. Same brand weed whacker and chainsaw. But for work, we use them heavily to mow about 40 places per week. It works fine for the weedwhackers and blowers to rotate batteries, but for the mowers it was going to be an eye popping cost to get enough batteries for 2 mowers. Honda has a new line of commercial battery mowers that look awesome but it will be an investment for another year.

I bought a Honda tank tread snowblower 2 winters ago. Amazingly good. Hope to get a few decades out of it!

You will, and then some.

Unless you use it commercially, you could never put the amount of hours on it to wear it out.

Commercial guys get about 5 or 6 years out of one.

That doesn't surprise me.

Why can't you be irritably mild like most other Canadians?

So, patting myself on the back, I’m a fucking mechanical genius . I had to wait two weeks for back ordered parts, but the mower has been reassembled, rolls backwards, starts on the first pull, doesn’t surge and idles smoothly. Success

The Mrs hates the new Toro I just bought to mow at the primary homestead (the “Personal pace” self-propelled mechanism is not to her liking…) and seems to like the Honda. I’ll swap them - I just need a push mower at the “summer” house to mow along the fences and on one side of the pool so the ZTR doesn’t blow grass into the water. First-world problems…
