      1. Yeah I have a dormak pro which I consider to be Honda and its a great mower..heavy but great.
      2. I also have the hrx537 and find its probably the most user friendly and enjoyable mower to work with. However I always have trouble with it discharging big clumps of chewed up grass over the lawn when its not dry and especially if it has a lot of clover or weeds. Most people don't seem to have this problem and iv often considered  buting a new one as they are very well spoken of and often praised as being the best on the market.

        Gary. Surprised by the issues, don't know if you have seen my tip to Dougie? Anyway use setting 3 on the back wheels permanently and always keep the back wheels one setting higher than the front just alter the cutting height on the front wheels and keep the deck clean! Clover is always an issue regardless of mower

    Dougie, top tip run the back wheels on setting number 3 and don't alter this adjust the height of cut on the front wheels. We generally use 2 or 1.5 it collects/mulches much better with the back wheels set 1 setting higher than the front. Hope you are as pleased with it as we are with ours.

        Thanks for update Dougie, yes the height adjusters could be better but never had one fail yet! As my previous post we set the back wheels on 3 and this is permanent and adjust the height of cut only on the front wheels using either 1.5 or 2 setting on all rotarys its only the front of the blade that does the cutting

        The chute on the 476 is very narrow, something to bear in mind if you are using it primarily for collecting
