Hi folks,
I am going to purchase a new Honda HRX217 lawn mower next week (week of 4/17/2017) and I am on the fence about these 2 HRX mowers.
VYA can be purchased for $649
HYA can be purchased for $729
The difference between the two is the transmission... The VYA has a "Infinity Variable speed select Drive"...... The HYA has the "Hydrostatic"
Honestly I like the way the "select drive" operates...... But I feel that the "hydrostatic" will be less problematic and less costly over time (although I hear that the belt on the HYA is much more labor intensive to replace $$)
any advice..... as I don't find many reviews on the VYA.
Oh, and I will be mowing about 5,000 sq ft of grass.... that will have some obstacles and some tight turning, but is relatively flat. And I need for the mower to be a "walk behind".
Thank You
