    ANGLE OF MOWER WHEN MULCHING

    When MULCHING grass and you do not want to have all 4 wheels at the same height, is it better to have the front of the mower HIGHER then the BACK or vice-versa?

    Which setup gives the better cut , with NO clippings seen from rear discharge.

    I would like to take a poll on which set-up does a better job on cutting grass. I am talking about a Honda HRX217vka with the GCV200 engine and the Versamow 4 in 1 system set to full MULCH. Of course it has the Micro Cut twin blade system. I would like to see a good cut with little or no grass...

    GVC200 ENGINE on the HRX series?

    Can someone tell me when Honda first started to use the new GVC200 engine, instead of the GVC190, in their HRX series lawnmower? Someone told me it was at the beginning of this year(2019). The mower I am looking at is the HRX2176VKA which I believe is the same as HRX217VKA. Thanks:confused2:

    Husqvarna (HU775H) / Honda HRX217VKA

    I own a Husqvarna (HU775H) bought in 2013. Do you think that it is a huge upgrade by going from the Husqvarna to a 2019 Honda HRX217VKA. I would think so, but I would appreciate some thoughts on this .

My question is: What is the cutting height of...

    Counterclockwise vs clockwise ??

    Can someone please explain to me why the manual for (VRX217VKA), actually all the vrx series, tells you to cut the grass counter- clockwise when you are mulching the lawn and clockwise when you are bagging it. I do not see why the direction you are going with the mower would make any difference...

    Going to buy a new HONDA
