Hi Dylan just had news come across my desk .
Hru 196 base Etc ,information is Honda sold the rights to THE bases and thats why we are finding TPE MOWERS IN MASTERS .(Would that info be correct Dylan).
and as far as ive always known is that Honda Australia only owns the rights to the wording Honda Lawnmowers thats why the Honda run lawnmowers on ebay cant use the words Honda mower lawn mower etc

As to the Honda mowers with the non Honda decks... They may be the Chondas... We have had a good inspection on both types of engines. ( Chonda and Genuine Honda) There is certainly a difference. The Genuine Honda engine has bigger and stronger machinery, i.e. the pistons and crank. One of my older 216 genuine Hondas is still going hard. Its around 15 -20 years old. The Chondas are having problems after 2 years,,...

The problem is if you want genuine you have to have the blade brake, my offside wouldn't handle it, so I have to buy him the Chinese ones which as imow said are not the same, besides the motor the gearbox and drive shafts are also poor quality. I went through about 4 Chinese drive shafts in one mower then put a genuine in and touch wood its still going
If he has a hard time operating the blade brake, he has no chance of spotting unretracted sprinklers
Can't see what's so hard about operating the Hondas with the blade brake. I've still got the old 216, but when I mow the inlaws lawn I use their new Honda with the blade brake. Feels a bit weird but I could get used to it quickly if I was to buy one (but I won't). You might have to give you're offsider the flick if be can't operate a basic machine and avoid sprinklers.
Does anyone actually like the blade breaks on the genuine?
I wouldn't buy another mower unless it had one.. not really for safety reasons but just convenience... emptying catcher... driving mower back to truck etc.. its the best and easy to use.. becomes second nature in no time at all
I like it. Made a mod so it locks on if I want to. Can't remember what it was like without it.
Except for the time I was pushing it from front to back yard and pushed mower over the door mat...oops...mat was now in the catcher.. Doesn't happen with the blades disengaged..

My Chonda's handle bars bent like butter when it was in the trailer. Just bounced around and dinged it'self up against the wall.
Now it slips out of 3rd gear all the time. I bent the bars back (with my hands) But not straight enough yet.
Chondas are good but Chinese crappy material in the metal.....
