Another update: my Honda 25 has been doing well so far. I like it, but after several months of use, I do question if it is worth the price. I like the 4-stroke engine, and the fact that at half throttle it has a load of torque, but $375 US seems steep. I’m not sure what the Honda offers over the...

I see what you are saying about the direction things are going, but it will be a cold day in hell when there are no gas powered mowers left. They are here to stay with the possible exception of 2 cycle engines. However, even two cycles have become very emission conscience (look at Stihl for...

Ah - thank you for this excellent information! Sounds like we shouldn't expect anything new in the HRC line anytime soon (dang it!) My HRX217 has been a great mower, but after 10 years, it's begning to show it's age. The newer Kubota WGC6-21" looks like a nice mower and is in the running, but I...

I'll add my .02 and resurrect an old thread. My 12 year old Stihl FS 55R finally died 2 weeks ago, so I purchased the HHT25 last week and have about 1.5 hours of run time on it so far. I chose this machine based on my past experience with Honda (cars, mower, generators, snowblower, etc). Below...

It seems like the HRC line hasn't been touched/updated in quite sometime (anyone when when it was last refreshed??) It would appear the HRX and HRN series have both been revamped in the last year or two - the HRN much more so than the HRX. Anyone have any idea if the HRC will get an update soon...
