TRIED THE HYDRO DRIVE AND BLADE STOP MODEL AND IT WAS >>>AWFUL<<< !!! YOUR HANDS ARE "FULL" OF HANDLES AND HATED IT . WHO REALLY USES A BAG ANYWAY ??? VERY FEW AND MULCHING IS GOOD FOR THE LAWN ! THE "SMART DRIVE" IS A WINNER AND CRAZY EASY TO USE . IN THE FUTURE I BET ALL WILL BE SET UP THIS WAY AS THE HYDRO ARE 25 YEARS OLD " ANCIENT" AND OLD SCHOOL . IF YOU NEEDED A BLADE STOP THIS COULD EASILY BE IN CORPORATED INTO THE SMART DRIVE .... LET OFF AND CLICK DOWN TO DISENGAGE . ANYWAY ... TO KEEP YOUR HONDA MOWER HUMMING SIMPLY KEEP AIR CLEANER MAINT . UP TO DATE AND AT THE END OF SEASON RUN YOUR LAST TANK "DRY " !!!! START THE NEW SEASON WITH FRESH GAS AND YOU ARE GOOD TO GO . ALSO THE BLADE STOP FUNCTION BEING USEFUL FOR MOVING STUFF OUT OF THE WAY IN YARD IS FUNNY ! WHY NOT SIMPLY CUT "AROUND" THE PROBLEM AND KICK IT OVER TO A CUT AREA ? ANYWAY THE SMART DRIVE IS A WINNER !!!!!
I HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD HHR216 AND NO ISSUES AT ALL WITH THE SMART DRIVE . ALSO DARE ANYONE TO TEST THE TWO TOGETHER IN "REAL" CUTTING SITUATIONS WHERE YOU HAVE TO BACK OUT AND CUT IN TIGHT AREAS . THIS IS WHERE THE SMART DRIVE REALLY SHINES ! ALSO REPLACEMENT COST IS A "THIRD" OF A HYDROSTAIYIC DRIVE APROX. $100 VS $300 !!! HONDA KNOWS THIS DRIVE IS RELIABLE OR IT WOULD NOT BE OFFERED . ONE THING I FEEL HONDA SHOULD DO IS MAKE ALL WHEELS >>> BALL BEARING TYPE <<< "COME ON" , IT WOULD BE A CHEAP UPGRADE AND WOULD BE IN THE " CUSTOMER'S" BEST INTEREST, IF COMPANIES ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT THAT KINDA STUFF . ALSO THEY COULD MAKE THE TIRES LAST WAY LONGER .... JUST ADD A TINY BIT MORE RUBBER !!!! ,,,, THAT WAY INSTEAD OF PAYING $20 FOR A WHEEL YOU MAY HAVE TO PAY $22 FOR A TIRE THAT WOULD LAST 10 TIMES LONGER !!!
THESE TWO CHEAP CUT "COST CUTTING CORNERS" IS WHAT HONDA NEEDS TO ADDRESS IF THAY WONT TO CONTINUE TO BE A LEADER IN THIS PRODUCT . IT'S ALMOST LIKE A PRINTER .... THEY MAKE A KILLING SELLING WHEELS INSTEAD OF INK !!! ALSO WHY DOES'NT THE MANUAL TELL OWNERS WHERE IN THE WORLD TO APPLY GREASE TO REAR WHEEL AREA AS THEY CLEARLY STATE IT NEEDS TO BE DONE ??? <<< THAT IS SIMPLY LAZY ON THEIR PART ! ANYWAY IT'S AT THE REAR WHEEL >SMALL GEAR AND PUSH ROD AND SPRING THAT PUSHES INTO THIS SMALL GEAR ,,, AND THE "BUSHING" THAT GOES OVER THE AXLE !!!
YOU JUST APPLY A SMALL DAB AND THAT'S ALL . DO THIS ON AN AVERAGE LAWN SIZE / "ACRE" ,ONCE EVERY THREE YEARS ... AS IT IS PROTECTED FROM CRUD BY A WHEEL "COVER" . ALSO ON FOLKS SOLD BY >>> STABIL GAS TREATMENT .... IT WONT TREAT OLD GAS AND WHY USE ???? AGAIN JUST RUN TANK AND CARB DRY AT THE END AF SEASON AND REFILL WITH >>> "FRESH" GAS AT THE START OF CUTTING SEASON........ SIMPLE AS THAT ! THEN YOU AVOID ALL THE " WONT CRANK AND RUN SMOOTH PROBLEMS !!! GAS IS NOT AS IT WAS AND YOU REALLY NEED TO USE IT AS SOON AS POSIBLE ...... NEVER BUY OVER 2 AND HALF GALLONS AT A TIME AND DONT USE LEFTOVER GAS AT " START " OF NEW CUTTING SEASON . OH ... MODEL IS HRX217VLA .
