The best cutting performance of any mower available The unique design of the Versamow System results in superior cutting performance and a better looking lawn. Better mulching The Versamow System eliminates many of the typical concerns about mulching, like clumping and poor yard appearance. Better bagging Tiny clippings allow the mower to pack more into a bag - reducing the number of bags to empty. How does the Versamow System work? A knob called the Clip Director™ is built into the deck. The Clip Director is attached to a sliding door located under the deck which controls the direction of the grass clippings. In full bag mode, the opening in the deck is fully open, allowing all the grass clippings to enter into the bag. When the Clip Director is moved to the middle notches, the sliding door is now partially closed. Some clippings will go into the bag, and some will be finely mulched and directed onto the ground. In full mulch mode, the door is completely closed. All clippings will be finely mulched and directed to the ground. |

Cruise Control Hydrostatic Transmission Honda's exclusive Cruise Control hydrostatic transmission allows you to set and easily change your speed for outstanding control. Choose any comfortable speed between 0 and 4 mph. Mow at your own pace Cruise Control allows you to vary the ground speed from 0 to 4 mph. You can gradually adjust your speed to match the mowing conditions. Quickly adjust the speed to your liking Cruise Control allows you to precisely control the speed of the mower. When you need to change your speed, the control is right there on the handlebar. Choose from 9 different preset "maximum" speeds using the orange shift lever. Then use the clutch lever to vary your speed from zero up to your preset maximum as you are mowing. And of course, you can change your preset maximum at any time. It's easy and convenient to use. No need to "push" Unlike other variable speed systems, Honda's Cruise Control lets you set your speed and forget it. No need to constantly push or lean to make this mower go. Save your preferred speed Need to pause to empty the bag or take a break? Just like a car, Cruise Control enables you to save your preferred mowing speed, then immediately return to it when you start mowing again. Heavy duty transmission Our Cruise Control hydrostatic transmission uses a hydraulic pump and motor, just like you'd find in professional riding equipment. Ground speed is varied by changing the rate of flow of the hydrostatic fluid. There is no "slipping" belt or clutch to wear out. It's heavy duty and remarkably durable. Honda is the only manufacturer to offer this top of the line hydrostatic transmission on a standard lawnmower. Cruise Control is available on our HRX217HYA, HRX217HZA, and HRC216HXA mowers. |
| Easy, convenient rear discharge |

| Go further before emptying the bag. |
Smaller grass clippings mean more grass fits in the bag. So you can mow up to 30% farther before you have to empty the bag. If you prefer to bag, you'll find that the Versamow System provides better performance than any other mower. Smaller grass clippings mean more grass fits in the bag. So you can mow 40% farther before you have to empty the bag. You'll be surprised by how much quicker you'll be able to finish your lawn. And by partially mulching, you can reduce clippings even further. With Versamow, you can customize the amount of grass you bag and mulch. Even mulching 25% of your grass reduces the amount of bagging significantly, not to mention the great benefits to your lawn and the environment! Learn more about the benefits of mulching. |

| 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. Honda is the only manufacturer to offer a unique twin blade mowing system. The MicroCut® Twin Blade System on our HRX, HRR, and HRC models give you the ultimate in mowing performance. Why are two blades better than one? Two blades result in more "bites" into the grass, cutting the grass into smaller pieces. The leading upper blade makes a major cut at the front. Then the lower blade makes a smaller cut. The clippings then circulate around inside the deck, with the blades continuing to cut them into smaller and smaller pieces. This results in: A better looking lawn Twin blades produce a superior cut, giving your lawn a smooth, even surface. Our blades are designed specifically for our mowers, using advanced engineering to lift each blade of grass and achieve a perfect cut. Better mulching performance Twin blades produce finer clippings. That means less clumping and a better look for your lawn. And smaller clippings decompose faster, allowing valuable nutrients to go back into your lawn to help feed it and keep it green. Better bagging performance Smaller clippings allow your bag to hold more. That means emptying the bag less often, which means less time and effort on your part to mow your lawn. Honda's exclusive twin blade advantage offers you a perfect cut, better lawn care, and less work for you. What's not to love? |

| Roto-Stop®: Stop the blades without stopping the engine |
Honda's Roto-Stop® blade stop system allows you to step away from the mower, without having to stop and restart the engine. Move items out of the way, empty the bag, or take a break, without having to restart your mower. Honda's Roto-Stop Blade Stop System allows you to stop the blades while the engine keeps running.

Roto-Stop stops the blades from turning, but keeps the engine running. No need to restart the mower! Roto-Stop is a great convenience whenever you need to pause from mowing to: Empty the bag Move debris or toys out of the way Transport the mower over sidewalks or gravel Roto-Stop is featured on our HRR216VYA, HRX217HYA, HRX217HZA, and HRC216HXA mowers. |

| 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. The Versamow System makes the HRX series ideal for all lawn types and conditions. You can mulch or partially mulch even in severe conditions. Just adjust the Clip Director to the right setting for your lawn conditions. For example, let's say you would like to mulch, but your grass is too tall or too wet. With a conventional lawnmower, mulching would mean leaving unsightly clippings. But with the Versamow System, you can simply position the Clip Director so some of the grass is mulched, and some is bagged. Versamow gives you the best of both worlds. It allows you to choose the right setting for your grass conditions. |
