Honda 21" Pro roller mower.

Whilst down the machine shop today I was looking at the Honda 21" Pro roller mower, not really for me as its too heavy but it just came to me that I don't think I've actually heard of anyone on LJN buying a Honda Pro, everyone seems to buy the clones Cobra, Lawnflite etc, so with this in mind I do wonder, does anyone actually own a Honda Pro itself these days????? Just a curiosity question really... Many thanks Harry

    I know 3 people who run them.
    I can't get my head round paying £350/400 more for the same thing myself!
    • From our experience we find they outlive the clones by about a year hence less breakdowns and we can get more resale money at the end.

        They do look very well built...
  • Honda are good for cutting with, They pick up the wet grass, but look at the geerbox on the back drive .If these go down there around 400.00 to replace .where as a hayter has a 14.00 rubber band that does the same thing .
  • Hi harry,

    Ive been using the 19 inch honder roller mower for about 10 years now, changed it a couple of years back for a newer model, but at the time suited me and still does for the smaller lawns. At the end of the year replacing my van for something bigger and going to purchasing a bigger mower, with a view of using the large mower for large lawns and keeping the other one for the smaller ones. Question is ive used the honda pro's before, great machine on long gardens with minimal turning, but gearboxes have required replacing and not cheap. I used an old hayer harrier 56 with the steel deck, but the more modern plastic ones im not sure about, my dealer sells both hayter and honda, so need to have the discussion with them, but i guess its personal preference really, similar to stihl or echo.

  • Yes have always used Honda pros, currently two.
    Agree last on average a year more than clones.

      Ignoring the fact that the Honda are clones themselves:-)
      • Clones of what Richard?
