    Found a brand new HRX217VYA still in the box and unaffected by the recall. Picking it up this weekend. Doesn't get any better than that!

    New HRX Frustration

    I am quite certain that it would be an easy fix, but it should not have had to be done. At this point I am just going to continue on mowing with my HRS and old Craftsman rider. I am really hoping to move in the next year or so. At that point I will either being downsizing my yard and will...

    New HRX Frustration

    Thank you for all of the feedback. I ended up returning the mower. It is the end of the season here in SE Michigan and I was really hoping to use this mower for my final fall cleanup but due to timing I ended up having to do without. While they did offer to come pick the mower up, as they...

    New HRX Frustration

    I am just waiting for a call from them at the moment. Due to having my car in the shop for service I won't be able to get the mower to the dealer until later this week. While I may be experiencing a bit of buyers remorse, I do know what's at stake; not being able buy a new Honda mower come...

    New HRX Frustration

    This is how I am leaning. I forgot to mention in my initial post that when the guy delivered it to me I noticed that there was some fuel on the deck on the side that the carb sits on. This was why the technician suggested to check the spark plug thinking that maybe it was flooded. I almost...

    New HRX Frustration

    Sorry, this is a long one…. I have been a loyal fan and owner of Honda lawnmowers, having had at least one Honda walk behind mower while also buying, using and selling every kind of riding mower and zero turn you can think of. Earlier this year I purchased an HRX217K4VKA from a recent divorcee...

    Honda HRS216 Repower Question

    Hello all. I am looking to repower my Honda HRS216 Self Propelled mower next spring. An opportunity came up to get a more powerful engine now, so time is of the essence. The issue is that I cannot get to the machine at the moment to measure the shaft dimensions to ensure compatibility. Is...

    Honda Mowers Are No More

    I was at the Honda dealer last week getting my Rancher serviced and got into conversation with the dealership owner about Honda Mowers and he showed me a bulletin that was just released the day prior stating that in addition to Honda shifting focus of ATV production to UTV production over the...

    2021 Radius X Blown Fuse

    Good news to report... I picked up my mower yesterday and was able to cut my entire lawn without a single fuse blowing. While there is still some "mystery" as to how and why I was experiencing this failure, it was still nice of Exmark to go out on a limb and replace the most expensive part in...

    2021 Radius X Blown Fuse

    I called up to the dealer today and the Service Advisor said that he reached out to Exmark Corporate this morning because they were still scratching their heads as to what was going on with my machine. Exmark's Technical Support Team advised that they replace the electric PTO clutch. The Service...

    2021 Radius X Blown Fuse

    Well, I got a call from the Dealership this morning and expected them to have an answer as to what was causing my Exmark to keep blowing the main fuse. Instead, I got "tell me what I gotta do to get this to blow a fuse." The Service Advisor sounded very frustrated, as I could tell from the...

    2021 Radius X Blown Fuse

    Well, I dropped the Radius off at the dealership this morning to have them fix whatever is wrong with it. I ended up going through another 4 fuses before I was able to get it loaded onto my trailer. Here is what happened today: The first replacement fuse that I installed last night was able...

    2021 Radius X Blown Fuse

    I only ended up cutting by back yard this evening when all of this happened but tomorrow before I get out to do the front yard, I will check everything over. I guess that I never really thought of a fuse being bad as I have only ever experienced them going after significant use. I do know that...

    2021 Radius X Blown Fuse

    Hello all. Just took out my brand new Radius X 52" for the first time and 15 minutes into mowing it DIED. I removed the harness from the cover just under the battery and found the 15 amp fuse blown. There was no moisture or corrosion present, as there shouldn't be since it is brand new and...
