    Blades Blade life

    I have a Honda HRX217HYA with a mulching blade. Today when I went to get the 2 blades sharpened the service guy said that the back side of the blade (not the cutting side) was getting thin and so they may not sharpen it it. Has anyone ever heard of that happening to a blade? He said it had...

    Mulching HRX217HYA mulching

    I went out and got the Honda HRX217HYA mower this weekend. My lawn had been about 10 days since mowing and it was quite high and thick. I wanted a good test for the mulching capability of this Honda and this was. The good news. The engine is an absolute beast. Never sounded stressed at all...
