Honda HRX217HYA 21 inch 200cc Self-Propelled Mower

Product Overview

The Honda HRX217HYA Self-Propelled Lawn Mower is designed for homeowners who want powerful performance, precise speed control, and versatile grass-management options. Equipped with a reliable Honda GCV190 gasoline engine and a hydrostatic transmission with cruise control, this mower provides smooth self-propelled operation with adjustable speeds from 0 to 4 MPH.

The HRX217HYA features Honda's advanced Versamow™ 4-in-1 mowing system, allowing you to mulch, bag, discharge grass clippings, or shred leaves. The integrated Clip Director® provides control over how much material is directed into the collection bag versus returned to the lawn as mulch.

For added convenience, the Roto-Stop® blade brake system allows you to stop the cutting blades while keeping the engine running. This is particularly useful when emptying the grass bag, moving obstacles, or crossing sidewalks and other areas where the blades should not be engaged.

Honda's MicroCut® twin-blade system produces finer grass clippings, helping improve mulching performance and allowing bagged clippings to pack more efficiently.

The mower is built around a durable NeXite® cutting deck, a high-impact polymer deck designed to resist dents, rust, and corrosion. Combined with an EZ Fold handle, the HRX217HYA offers convenient storage and dependable performance for regular residential lawn maintenance.

Key Features

Hydrostatic Cruise Control

The hydrostatic transmission provides smooth self-propelled operation with adjustable speeds from 0 to 4 MPH. Cruise control allows you to set a comfortable mowing pace and return to your preferred speed without repeatedly adjusting the controls.

Versamow™ 4-in-1 Mowing System

The versatile mowing system gives you four grass-management options:

• Mulching
• Bagging
• Side discharge
• Leaf shredding

The Clip Director® lets you adjust the amount of grass clippings sent into the collection bag versus recirculated onto the lawn for mulching. Multiple adjustment positions provide greater control over how you manage grass clippings.

Roto-Stop® Blade Brake System

The Roto-Stop® system allows the cutting blades to stop while the engine continues running. This eliminates the need to shut down and restart the mower when you need to:

• Empty the grass bag
• Remove an obstacle
• Cross a sidewalk
• Move over gravel or other non-grass surfaces

MicroCut® Twin-Blade System

Honda's MicroCut® twin-blade technology produces finer grass clippings than conventional single-blade systems. Smaller clippings can decompose more efficiently when mulched and pack more tightly when collected in the bag.

Durable NeXite® Cutting Deck

The cutting deck is constructed from NeXite® high-impact polymer, providing excellent resistance to dents, rust, and corrosion. The deck is also designed to keep grass clippings circulating longer, helping produce finer mulch.

Honda GCV190 Engine

The Honda GCV190 gasoline engine provides dependable power for residential mowing. Its automatic choke system helps make starting simple and convenient.

EZ Fold Handle

The EZ Fold handle allows the mower to be adjusted and folded for easier storage without requiring tools. Multiple handle-height positions help accommodate different operators.

Finer Grass Clippings

The MicroCut twin-blade system produces smaller clippings for improved mulching and efficient bagging.

Corrosion-Resistant Deck

The NeXite cutting deck is designed to resist rust and corrosion while providing long-lasting durability.
