Honda Riding Mowers
The brand Honda is usually associated with motorbikes and automobiles. However, this Japanese trademark has also products competing in the market for grass cutting machines or lawn tractors. These lawn tractors which could also be simply referred to as ride on mowers come in several models.
Among these ride on mowers is the HF2315SBE which is regarded as the top selling in its class. This particular model is most suited for gardens that are up to 2 acres in area. This lawn tractor has a five-year extended warranty with no additional cost to the unit, demonstrating the value-for-money proposition offered by the Honda ride mowers manufacturer.
Visiting a local Honda lawn tractor dealer will reveal some of this model’s features. These features include the Honda “ContraFlo” cutting system reputed to deliver the neatest grass mowing and the highest efficiency in mulch collection. Honda’s grass cutting system uses counter-rotating blades; ejected at high velocity, the cut grass are then collected in a 280-liter collector mounted at the rear of the lawn tractor. This will make your ride on mower a great tool for cleaning out your garden.
Through this system, other garden debris like pine needles and autumn leaves can also be gathered in a clean and efficient manner. It is easy to clean this lawn tractor after use as it has a deck wash facility wherein any hose with snap-fit design can easily be attached to the machine’s connector. Unloading cut grass is also convenient with this ride on mower’s grass collector that can be emptied from the driving position. Lawn care while mowing has never been easyer. You can just drive next to your compost and empty the grass container without leaving your mower.
This Honda lawn tractor is equipped with a 15-horsepower twin engine. It has a manual, five-gear transmission and is fitted with a deck measuring 92 cm (36 in). This ride on mower can adjust cutting heights from 29 mm to 90 mm. Its compact design allows for efficient maneuvering characteristic of mowers coming from their factory,
Another strong Honda entry in the market for ride on mowers is the Honda HF1211S. This model is relatively smaller compared with other Honda models. After all this lawn tractor has been designed for smaller gardens. With such a design this ride on mower can be operated even in areas with small spaces where movement of bigger mowers would be restricted. Some brand like Briggs & Sratton make also these zero turn ride mowers that are easily used in smaller lawns.
A ride on mower that runs on an 11-horsepower engine has a five-speed manual transmission and comes with a soft start electric clutch so that gear engagement is smooth once the clutch is released. There’s a choice for a hydrostatic transmission featuring seamless speed changes afforded by a fluid-controlled drive system that could be tweaked in an infinite variety of ways. This lawn tractor discharges grass cuttings to the machine’s rear end, keeping overall width to only 76 cm (30 inches) but delivering increased collection efficiency just the same.
The collector of this Honda ride on mower has a capacity of 170 liters. Like the bigger Honda ride mowers, the cut grass can be unloaded from the driving position. The operator will know when the collector is full through a beeper which automatically resets when the cut grass has been unloaded. An added convenience is this lawn tractor’s deck which at 72 cm (28 inches) allow operations in all mowing situations which makes this ride on mower a good choice for everyone.
