Honda HRC Commercial Series The Honda HRC Commercial Series offers 2 models — the self-propelled, hydrostatic-drive HRC216K3HXA and the push-type HRC216K3PDA — with an ideal combination of features and durability for the professional landscaper. Performance is enhanced by Honda's exclusive MicroCut twin-blade mulching technology (the only 2-blade 21-inch commercial mowers). The push model
HRC216K3PDA comes with Honda's GSV160 overhead cam (OHC) engine, while the self-propelled HRC216K3HXA utilizes Honda's GXV160 engine. Both engines boast all-aluminum construction and a cast-iron cylinder sleeve. The dome-shaped deck design facilitates both bagging and mulching while delivering finer clipping particles. A front bumper provides deck and engine protection, as well as allows for convenient transport tiedown. Durable, lightweight, 9-inch NeXite wheels have axle protectors. Honda Power Equipment
