Use the Makita for the first time; no where near the power of the Honda but I think it will be adequate. Four batteries will not do my lawn.

Took a chance and ordered the sef propelled Makita from HD. Hoping for the best.

Currently using an older Honda HRX217HYA but would like to go cordless. Suction is important to remove pine needles, leaves, etc. Prefer to stay below $600 but would pay more for quality. Lawn is flat about 7,000 sq ft. Recommendations?

Tried running the mower while squirting carb cleaner thru the air cleaner intake, no change. Switched to a new plug, problem went away. I had previously checked the old plug and it was clean and properly gapped. I hate it when the solution is this easy. At least I have a clean carb now...

This is a 5 yr old mower that was running fine when I put it away last fall. I did not winterize so the stale gas sat in there all winter. Drained the tank and bowl and added fresh gas. Started fine and then died after about 2 min. Tried removing the gas cap to see if that was the problem...

Do any of the snappers have a blade clutch? That was a big selling point to me when I bought the Honda.

I bought the kit and installed it on a new standard lift Honda blade. Drilling the stock blade was not possible with the cobalt or carbide bits I had so I heated the trailing edges of the blade to remove some of the hardness. The cutting edge was clamped in a bench vise to act as a heat sink...

I still want airfoils. The snapper high lift kit is cheap on eBay https://www.ebay.com/itm/Rotary-910-Air-Lift-Kit-Snapper-Kees-60785-7060785-7060785YP/182014611666. I may just buy one and try to attach it to a Honda blade,

Interesting; bolt on airfoils. I wonder if this would work on a Honda? Any problems drilling the holes or balancing the blade?

It's time for a new blade on my mower. I've never really been satisfied with the bagging with the oem blade. Is there an aftermarket blade that does a better job (I never mulch)? I noticed another post that suggested removing the 2nd blade for better bagging; does that help?

My new HYA doesn't seem to have as much suction as my old HR215SXA (same deck height). Is there a higher lift blade available from Honda or an aftermarket supplier? I have magnolia trees in my lawn and the new mower doesn't pick them up very well.

I have a brand new HRX217HYA that I purchased to replace my aging HR215SXA. The mowers appear very similar except for the transmission. My old model (a 3 speed) was almost faster than a comfortable walk in top gear. The new mower seems slower in the fastest setting on the cruise control. My...
