Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

Anyone have any experience with the Honda hrc216pda commercial push mower?  Got a neighbor moving to florida and he wants to sell it.  I have a friend in need of a mower and was thinking of picking it up for him. Just not sure if it is too heavy as a push mower or how it cuts.

The HRC216PDA is too heavy to be without self propel,  doesn't matter how good of an engine they put on it or Honda stickers.  Your friend will hate you for it.  Unless he's training for the lawn mowing Olympic in the Himalayas.

A good push mower is the old Deere 14PZ with lightweight cast aluminum deck, comparable to the old Honda Master HC mowers, but cheaper.  Very reliable, bullet proof B&S engine, lightweight, and compact.  There are no blade brake clutch, self propel, electric start.
