Guys:
Just bought (deliver tomorrow) Honda HRX217HYA lawnmower. Got it delivered from local dealer for $735 total. Decent deal? Maybe. Seems like a good mower, except a little heavy. I have 1/2 acre to mow, but have a lot of trees etc so would have preferred a lighter mower but could not find another with Hydro Static transmission (hope it will hold up better than convention transmission).
Any advice/guidance with maintenance? How many hours before first oil change? Any advise on oil to use? I use synthetic Moble 1, extended, in my cars, would it be a good choice for lawnmower?
Thanks
JR
