| Honda MicroCut® Twin Blades: superior mulching and bagging |
Honda's exclusive MicroCut® twin blade system uses four cutting surfaces that result in ultra fine clippings for superior mulching and bagging. Tiny pieces mean up to 30% more clippings in a bag, plus better mulching – saving you time and money. 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? |

| Precision speed control: Commercial Hydrostatic Cruise Control |
This durable commercial transmission offers infinitely variable speed control from 2.1 to 4 mph. Allows you to change and maintain the ground speed to match mowing conditions. 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. |
