my nearly 20 year old Honda HRX rear hydro drive bagger has been FLAWLESS!! just replaced a springy wheel height adjuster + will be buying wheels now because as noted NO more new Honda mowers. it was about $900 new, spendy BUT worth it as i was mowing FIVE lawns a week as needed for BEER $$$. hydrostatics go very SLOOO or quite fast + the nexlite deck NEVER rusts! bought the model with the "flippers" for drive control for my aunt , half the price + half the mower!! had snapper prior BUT the shute clogged easilt unlike the Hondas rear "door" system that dumps directly in the bag + allows mowing + bagging really WET grass, flip the door closed remove the bag + your mulching with the standard 2 blade design!!!
