All-New Honda HRN Lawn Mower Series

Honda is excited to introduce the all-new Honda HRN Lawn Mower series, a significant upgrade from the HRR series. The heart of the HRN series is the powerful Honda GCV170 engine, designed to deliver more power and torque, enhancing your lawn care experience. With four key areas of innovation- power, design, controls, and operation- the HRN series is set to revolutionize lawn care, making it more efficient and productive than ever before.

Honda HRN Rugged Design

The engineering team at Honda meticulously crafted the new series from scratch. They analyzed, assessed, and heeded customers’ feedback to design a series that users need, including optimizing airflow and a heavy-duty steel 21-inch curvilinear mower deck that withstands the most rugged conditions. The redesigned deck creates an efficient path for grass clippings to pass into the bag or on the ground, preventing grass clogging. The new HRN models feature precision-crafted blades under the deck. The exclusive Honda Twin Blade MicroCut System can accurately cut and mulch at any height. The front wheels have been reconfigured to a single axle for enhanced durability, while nut and bolt connections are made of steel and embedded in resin.

HRN Power and Torque

The new Honda GCV170 engine is a significant improvement, delivering 9% more power and 18% more torque than the Honda GCV160 in the outgoing HRR series. This increased power and torque provide stable RPMS for better cutting, mulching, and bagging. The engine’s ability to manage various mowing conditions while still delivering a clean, even cut is a testament to its superior performance. And with reduced vibration, your mowing experience will be more comfortable and enjoyable.

The Honda GCV170 engine is designed with your convenience in mind. It features the exclusive Honda Auto Choke System, a simplified, automatic structure free of levers and cables. This ensures that the engine starts up quickly, whether hot or cold, for immediate mowing. Once the engine is running, the Auto Choke returns to an optimal operating position. The GCV170 also features the Honda-exclusive CycloFlow design. This design produces higher turbulence in the cylinder and more stable combustion, resulting in easy starting and excellent resistance to lower-quality fuel.

HRN Intuitive Controls

To outperform the HRR lawn mower series, the HRN lawn mower series is designed with various intuitive controls for smoother operation. The improved Adjustable Smart Drive allows for ease of speed variation with a press of a broad paddle control on the handlebar. However, the technologically innovative features do not stop there. The 3-in-1 Clip Director lever controls an entry shutter between the lawn mower deck and the grass bag. The lever allows users to mulch 11% clippings, bag 100% clippings, and rear discharge. The operator can select mulching or bagging options without tools or attachments required.

Other features that set the HRN series ahead of others include a simplified height control system and two-way releasing rear-wheel ratchets. The height control system consists of a new dual-lever height adjustment. Users can quickly and conveniently adjust for seven different cutting heights with only two levers. This feature makes it easy to do the following:

1. Take a little off the top.
2. Make deep cuts.
3. Mow at standard maintenance heights.

The two-way releasing rear-wheel ratchets increase maneuverability by reducing the effort needed to turn or pivot in tight areas, delivering maximum flexibility and ease.

HRN Series Operation and Serviceability

The Honda HRN series underwent operation redesigns to improve efficiency, leaving more free time for the operator. The series incorporates a fuel spout 60% wider than the HRR models. Reducing the chance of spillage, the new models feature an elevated oil spout. This addition makes it easy to fill the gas or change the oil. Additionally, the modern design incorporates an intelligent engine layout. This means you’ll have easy access to the spark plug and an optimized air cleaner that can be easily changed.
