I mowed a friend's lawn yesterday and used her Honda mower with the Xenoy deck. NICE MOWER. It looks to be a few years old (it doesn't have that clip deflector thing, thankfully). Just a simple rear door that you close to mulch or open to bag. 3-speed rear drive. I guess it was belt-driven, and I liked it because I could use that as a "clutch", unlike with my Honda Masters (where the tranny is shaft-driven, and the drive is either "on" or "off", no slippage). The 6.5-hp OHC engine was a hard worker. The bermudagrass was long and wet, probably 6-8 inches I'd say. I had to take 1/4 or 1/2 passes with the mower because the grass was just too much to take on a full pass, but I was impressed with the mower...especially with the Xenoy deck. I wouldn't mind owning one.

jason, i have a 97'model w/ the xenoy deck. it's practicly indestructable from what i've heard and experienced. it has the 5.0 ohv honda motor. gets a mid and end of season oil change w/ the amsoil 10-30. gets used 5 or more times a week during the cutting season, side hustling, and the only thing i have ever done is replace the wheels last year, and annual plug and air filter replacement.
