    Cub Cadet Ultima ZT1

    I am about to go look at a one year old Cub ZT1 42" tomorrow. The owner says he has about 20 hrs on it and needs to sell as he is moving. He is asking $2600. It appears to be in great shape. I really only need a 42" deck as my yard's actual sq ft is about 12k. I need to check the belts, spindles...

    Any Experience New Honda 200 CC Engines?

    Mine has overall been good. I do get a slight racing of the engine at full throttle when the blade is not engaged. I have also noticed I will get a small puff of smoke when I first start up the mower when it sits for a week or so. I use the Honda 10w30 oil. My 190cc did not do this. I have about...

    HRX airfilter hop up from HRC

    I think it was Robert@honda who had posted this but I cannot find the thread. I am looking for the part numbers for the larger air filter cover as well as the foam pre filter. I am about to order a small part for my Echo edger and thought I would throw these on my order while I was at it. Thank You

    Anyone moving to a Lawn service this year? (Tru green, scotts, weedman)

    I moved to a lawn service this fall. It seemed I was battling weeds that could not be killed by over the counter herbicides. I have one of the better lawns in my subdivision but didn't seem to be good enough. Weedman seemed to be the place to call after seeing their results on other lawns...

    Update on HRX purchase

    This past spring I replaced my Lawnboy Platinum with a HRX217VKA. After three months of use I thought I would post a couple updates. To start my main problem with the LB was lack of power from the B&S 6.75 tq rated engine. The Honda has not let me down! Lots of power. Anyone with Bermuda grass...

    Comparison Deck gaurds installed on HRX w/pics

    The deck guards came in last week. I finally got around to installing them today. According to the directions/measurements the deck guards extend slightly lower than the nexite deck (probably 1/16 or 1/32"). I did the best I could to keep from getting a gap between the deck. Here are a couple pics.

    Just got my PAS edger attachment

    A couple weeks ago I received my Echo straight edger attachment. Before I had that I had about a 7 year old craftsman with a curved shaft edger attachment. It was terrible.

    Changed my mind again

    I was set to buy a new Honda HRX but after talking to a dealer that sells both I have decided to go with a Toro Super Recycler. Mostly due to personal pace vs smart drive. I was discussing the Toro motor vs the Honda motor also. It really has me stuck. Do I go with the proven (Honda) or do I go...
